Indoor Activities

The Approach S60 device can be used for training indoors, such

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.

available unless you have an optional sensor that sends speed
and distance data to the device (such as a speed or cadence
sensor).
