Operation Manual

14.1 Using Foot POD

When using a foot POD, the POD is auto calibrated by GPS at short intervals

during exercise. However, the foot POD always remains the source of speed

and distance when it is paired and active for the given sport mode.

Foot POD auto calibration is on by default. It can be turned off in the sport

mode options menu under ACTIVATE, if the Foot POD is paired and is used

for the selected sport mode.

NOTE: Foot POD refers to both Suunto Foot POD Mini and any other ANT+

foot POD.

For more accurate speed and distance measurements, you can manually

calibrate the foot POD. Perform the calibration on an accurately measured

distance, for instance, on a 400 meter running track.

To calibrate foot POD with Suunto Ambit2 R:

1. Attach foot POD to your shoe. For more information, see user guide for

the foot POD you are using.

2. Choose a sport 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].
