Settings For Treadmill Activities - TomTom Runner & Multi-Sport Reference Manual

As you swim, your watch registers your strokes and the number of turns you make in the pool. To
calculate the distance you have swum and your speed, your watch uses the pool size and the number
of turns you have made. If the pool size is not set correctly, the metrics for your swimming activity
cannot be worked out correctly. Your watch needs to know which wrist you wear your watch on so it
can register your strokes correctly.
To change the Pool size and Wrist settings, do the following:
1. From the activity start screen, move down to open the Settings screen.
2. Select Pool size, then move right.
3. Set the size so it shows the correct length for the pool.
4. Move left to go back to the settings menu.
5. Select Wrist, then move right.
6. Change the setting to the wrist you wear your watch, if necessary.
7. Move right to go immediately back to the activity screen.
When you select Swim, your watch does not use its internal GPS receiver.

Settings for Treadmill activities

Before you start an activity on the treadmill for the first time, you should set your height. You can do
this in your TomTom MySports account or on your watch.
As you run on a treadmill, your watch registers the number of times you swing your arm back and
forward and how quickly. This matches the number of strides you make as you run. Your watch uses
your height to calculate the length of your stride, and from this the distance you have run and your
pace.
To set your height on your watch, do the following:
1. From the clock, move down to open the Settings screen.
2. Select Profile, then move right.
3. Select Height, then move right.
4. Set your height.
Calibrating your watch for Treadmill activities
The distance measurements your watch makes for Treadmill activities is less accurate than for Run
activities. When you run outdoors, your watch uses GPS to measure the distance you cover.
If you calibrate your watch, the distance measurements for Treadmill activities become more accurate.
To calibrate your watch, do the following:
1. During your first Treadmill activity, after your have run for a short time, pause your watch and the
treadmill.
To pause your watch, move left during the activity.
2. On your watch, move down to open the Settings menu.
3. Select Calibrate then move right.
4. Change the distance to match the distance shown on the treadmill.
5. Move right to go immediately back to the activity screen.
Calibrating your watch at the end of a Treadmill activity
Every time you finish a Treadmill activity, your watch asks you if you want to calibrate the distance
measurement your watch has made with the distance measurement shown by the treadmill.
Select Yes to calibrate the distances. If you calibrate the distance, your activity record is more accu-
rate and the metrics for your training are more accurate.
