The Calibration T ab
Calibrating Your Nike+ SportBand
The Nike+ SportBand is accurate for most runners without calibration. You can improve
the accuracy by calibrating your individual running or walking style.
You can calibrate for running and walking separately. Each one needs to be calibrated
separately. For best accuracy, calibrate both.
Establish a calibration run or walk. Run or walk a known distance at a steady, natural
pace. A running track is a good place for calibration runs and walks, because measured
distances are already marked for you.
Any run or walk over 0.25mi (or 0.4km) can be used for calibration as long as you don't
mix running and walking. Note: Only your LAST run will appear in the calibration tab. We
suggest that you go home and calibrate after you run your measured distance without
recording another run on the SportBand. This way all future runs will be calibrated to
your specific running style.
Do not combine running and walking, or calibration will not be possible.
Next, remove the SportBand Link and connect it to a USB port on your computer. Click
the "i" button in the lower right-hand corner of the main window and when the Settings
Window appears, click on the Calibration tab (fig.16).
