15.1 Calibrating PODs

You can use your Suunto Ambit to calibrate Suunto Foot POD Mini for accurate
speed and distance measurement. Perform the calibration on an accurately
measured distance, for instance, on a 400 meter running track.
To calibrate Suunto Foot POD Mini with Suunto Ambit:
1. Attach Suunto Foot POD Mini to your shoe. For more information, see

Suunto Foot POD Mini Quick Guide.

2. Choose a custom mode (for example Running) in the start menu.
3. Start running at your usual pace. When you cross the starting line, press

[Start Stop] to start the recording.

4. Run a distance of 800–1000 meters (about 0.500–0.700 miles) at your usual

pace (for example two laps on a 400 meter track).

5. Press [Start Stop] when you reach the finish line to pause the recording.
6. Press [Back Lap] to stop recording. After stopping the exercise, save the log

by pressing [Start Stop]. If you do not want to save the log, press [Light
Lock].
Scroll with [Next] through summary views, until you reach the distance
summary. Adjust the distance shown on the display to the actual distance
you ran with [Start Stop] and [Light Lock]. Confirm with [Next].

7. Confirm the POD calibration by pressing [Start Stop]. Your Foot POD Mini

has now been calibrated.

NOTE: If the Foot POD Mini connection was unstable during the calibration

exercise, you might not be able to adjust the distance in the distance summary.
Make sure that Foot POD Mini is attached properly according to instructions and
try again.
