Indoor Activities

The Descent 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).
