Foot Pod
Your device is compatible with the foot pod. You can use the
foot pod to record pace and distance instead of using GPS when
you are training indoors or when your GPS signal is weak. The
foot pod is on standby and ready to send data (like the heart
rate monitor).
After 30 minutes of inactivity, the foot pod powers off to
conserve the battery. When the battery is low, a message
appears on your device. Approximately five hours of battery life
remain.
Going for a Run Using a Foot Pod
Before you go for a run, you must pair the foot pod with your
Forerunner device (Pairing
ANT+ Sensors, page
7).
You can run indoors using a foot pod to record pace, distance,
and cadence. You can also run outdoors using a foot pod to
record cadence data with your GPS pace and distance.
1
Install your foot pod according to the accessory instructions.
2
Select the
Run Indoor activity profile.
3
Go for a run.
Foot Pod Calibration
The foot pod is self-calibrating. The accuracy of the speed and
distance data improves after a few outdoor runs using GPS.
Setting Up Your User Profile
You can update your gender, birth year, height, weight, and
heart rate zone settings. The device uses this information to
calculate accurate training data.

> My Stats > User Profile
.

Activity Profiles
Activity profiles are a collection of settings that optimize your
device based on how you are using it. For example, the settings
and data screens are different when you are using the device for
running than for riding your bike.
When you are using a profile and you change settings such as
data fields or alerts, the changes are saved automatically as part
of the profile.
Changing Your Activity Profile
The device has default activity profiles. You can modify each of
the saved activity profiles.
TIP: The default activity profiles use a specific accent color for
each sport.

Activity Settings

Alerts
You can use alerts to train toward specific heart rate, pace, time,
distance, cadence, and calories goals and to set run/walk time
intervals.
Setting Range Alerts
A range alert notifies you when the device is above or below a
specified range of values. For example, if you have an optional
heart rate monitor, you can set the device to alert you when your
heart rate is below zone 2 and over zone 5 (Setting Your Heart
Rate Zones, page 4)

Each time you exceed or drop below the specified range, a
message appears. The device also beeps or vibrates if audible
tones are turned on (Setting the Device Sounds,

Setting a Recurring Alert
A recurring alert notifies you each time the device records a
specified value or interval. For example, you can set the device
to alert you every 30 minutes.

Setting Walk Break Alerts
Some running programs use timed walking breaks at regular
intervals. For example, during a long training run, you can set
the device to alert you to run for 4 minutes, and then walk for 1
minute, and repeat. You can use the Auto Lap
®
feature while
using the run/walk alerts.
