Indoor Activities The fēnix device can be used for training indoors, such as running on an indoor track or using a stationary bike. GPS is turned off for indoor activities. When running or walking with GPS turned off, speed, distance, and cadence are calculated using the accelerometer in the device. The accelerometer is self-calibrating. The accuracy of the speed, distance, and cadence data improves after a few outdoor runs or walks using GPS. TIP: Holding the handrails of the treadmill reduces accuracy. You can use an optional foot pod to record pace, distance, and cadence. When cycling with GPS turned off, speed and distance are not available unless you have an optional sensor that sends speed and distance data to the device (such as a speed or cadence sensor). Going for a Virtual Run You can pair your fēnix device with a compatible third-party app to transmit pace, heart rate, or cadence data. 1 From the watch face, press . 2 Select Virtual Run. 3 On your tablet, laptop, or smartphone, open the Zwift™ app or another virtual training app. 4 Follow the on-screen instructions to start a running activity and pair the devices. 5 Press to start the activity timer. 6 After you complete your run, press to stop the activity timer. Calibrating the Treadmill Distance To record more accurate distances for your treadmill runs, you can calibrate the treadmill distance after you run at least 1.5 km (1 mi.) on a treadmill. If you use different treadmills, you can manually calibrate the treadmill distance on each treadmill or after each run. 1 Start a treadmill activity (Starting an Activity, page 2). 2 Run on the treadmill until your fēnix device records at least 1.5 km (1 mi.). 3 After you complete your run, press . 4 Select an option: • To calibrate the treadmill distance the first time, select Save.
