Indoor Activities
The Approach 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 29).
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.
Calibrating the Treadmill Distance
To record more accurate distances for your treadmill activities, you can calibrate the treadmill distance after
you travel 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 activity.
1 Start a treadmill activity (Starting an Activity, page 25).
2 Travel on the treadmill until your Approach S62 device records at least 1.5 km (1 mi.).
3 After you complete your activity, press the action button, and select Done.
4 Check the treadmill display for the distance traveled.
5 Select an option:
• To calibrate the first time, select Save, and enter the treadmill distance on your device.
• To manually calibrate after the first-time calibration, select > Calibrate, and enter the treadmill
distance on your device.
