Setting Foot Pod Speed and Distance
Before you can customize the foot pod speed and distance, you

Sensors, page 30).
You can set your device to calculate speed and distance using
your foot pod data instead of GPS data.
1
Hold MENU.
2
Select Settings > Sensors & Accessories.
3
Select your foot pod.
4
Select Speed or Distance.
5
Select an option:
• Select Indoor when you are training with GPS turned off,
usually indoors.
• Select Always to use your foot pod data regardless of the
GPS setting.
tempe
The tempe is an ANT+ wireless temperature sensor. You can
attach the sensor to a secure strap or loop where it is exposed
to ambient air, and therefore, provides a consistent source of
accurate temperature data. You must pair the tempe with your
device to display temperature data from the tempe.
