Indoor Activities

The Instinct device can be used for training indoors, such as

running on an indoor track or using a stationary bike or indoor

trainer. GPS is turned off for indoor activities (Activities and App

Settings, page 18).

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 data 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.

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.

Start a treadmill activity (Starting an Activity, page 2).

Run on the treadmill until your Instinct Solar Tactical device

records at least 1.5 km (1 mi.).

After you complete your run, press GPS.

Select an option:

• To calibrate the treadmill distance the first time, select

Save.

The device prompts you to complete the treadmill

calibration.

• To manually calibrate the treadmill distance after the first-

time calibration, select Calibrate & Save > Yes.

Check the treadmill display for the distance traveled, and

enter the distance on your device.

Recording a Strength Training Activity

You can record sets during a strength training activity. A set is

multiple repetitions (reps) of a single move.

From the watch face, press GPS.

Select Strength.

The first time you record a strength training activity, you must

select which wrist your watch is on.

Press GPS to start the set timer.

Start your first set.

The device counts your reps. Your rep count appears when

you complete at least four reps.

TIP: The device can only count reps of a single move for

each set. When you want to change moves, you should finish

the set and start a new one.

Press BACK to finish the set.

The watch displays the total reps for the set. After several

seconds, the rest timer appears.

If necessary, press DOWN, and edit the number of reps.

TIP: You can also add the weight used for the set.
