Learn about setting time. Done The Nike+ SportBand User's Guide 1 1 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. Anyrunorwalkover0.25mi(or0.4km)canbeusedforcalibrationaslongasyoudon'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"buttoninthelowerright-handcornerofthemainwindowandwhentheSettings Window appears, click on the Calibration tab (fig.16). fig.16 User Time Cali bration Walk a known distance* at a stead y pace, then adjust here if needed WALK - - km ­ ­ mi Run a known distance* at a stead y pace, then adjust here if needed RUN - - km ­ ­ mi * The*The distance MUST be bet ween 0.25 mi to0.4 KM). distance must be greater than 0.25 MI (or 1.25 mi Learn about calibration.

This will improve the accuracy of subsequent calibrations. Note: Even after calibrating, the accuracy of the distance measurements may vary depending on gait, running surface, incline, or temperature. Note: Calibrating for your target "race pace" will give you even better accuracy on race day. To customize more settings, select another tab. When you are finished, click the Done button.
