Indoor Activities

The vívoactive 3 Element device can be used for
training indoors, such as running on an indoor track
or using a stationary bike. GPS is turned off for indoor
activities.
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
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.
