You can use the foot pod to send data to your Forerunner when training indoors, when your GPS signal is weak, or when you lose satellite signals. The foot pod is on standby and ready to send data. You must pair the foot pod with your Forerunner (page 18). After 30 minutes of inactivity, the foot pod powers off to conserve the battery. When the battery is low, a message appears on your Forerunner. Approximately five hours of battery life remain. Choosing Your Speed Source If you plan to train outdoors, you can set the Forerunner to use foot pod data to calculate pace rather than using GPS. Select > Setup > Foot Pod > Speed Source > Foot Pod. About Foot Pod Calibration Calibrating your foot pod is optional and can improve accuracy. There are three ways to adjust the calibration: distance, GPS, and manual. Calibrating Your Foot Pod by Distance For best results, the foot pod should be calibrated using the inside lane of a regulation track. A regulation track (2 laps = 800 m) is more accurate than a treadmill. Forerunner 610 Owner's Manual 21
