74 www.sigmasport.com6 CALIBRATION AND CORRECTION FACTOR6.1 DO I HAVE TO CALIBRATE?6.2 CALIBRATION FUNCTIONCalibration is not obligatory. If the deviation from the determined distance is 5% or less, no calibration is necessary. If the deviation is far more than 5%, we recommend calibrating your device. The precise calibration process is described in the section below.The running computer has a calibration function. To calibrate, put on the R3 transmitter and the running computer and run a known distance. You can measure a distance in advance with a bike computer or run on a 400-meter track. After you have run the distance, adjust the measured value to the actual distance run.As your running or walking styles change as you change speed, the calibration is carried out for both a slow and fast speed.For the sensor positions chest and hips, you can perform two calibrations: kWalking kRunningImportant: Perform the calibration at least twice over a distance of 800 m (800 m slow and 800 m fast).
75US/GB6 CALIBRATION AND CORRECTION FACTORPrerequisite: The device must be in training mode. You are wearing the R3 transmitter and the running computer.6.3 ACTIVATING CALIBRATIONHold down the SET button until the setting mode is activated.Press the SPEED (+) button repeatedly until the “Calibration” function appears.Press the SET button. The RC 14.11 determines the position of the R3 sensor (chest or hip) and starts the calibration function. The RC 14.11 guides you through the calibration.
76 www.sigmasport.com6 CALIBRATION AND CORRECTION FACTOR6.4 CALIBRATIONCalibration is carried out for two speeds: kSlow running or slow walking Run as slow as you would run in your slowest training. kFast running or fast walking Run at the fastest pace that you would run in an endurance run or a long tempo run (over 3000 m). The two speeds should ideally differ by 30%.Tip: If you only use the device for running and with heart rate measurement (chest position) and therefore never wear it on the hip, you only need to calibrate for the sensor position “Chest” and for “Running”.
77US/GB6 CALIBRATION AND CORRECTION FACTOR6.4.1 PREPARING FOR CALIBRATION1 Put on the chest belt or attach the HipClip.2 Go to a measured distance of at least 800 meters. Tip: The inside lane of a track is 400 meters.3 Select “Calibration” in the setting mode.4 Press the SET button. The running computer detects whether you are wearing the HipClip or the chest belt. The function “Running” is displayed. Tip: If you want to calibrate the RC 14.11 for walking, select the function “Walking” with the SPEED (+) button.5 Press the SET button. Instructions for what you have to do are shown on the running computer’s display.
78 www.sigmasport.com6 CALIBRATION AND CORRECTION FACTOR6.4.2 CARRYING OUT CALIBRATION RUNS1 Always start 20 meters from the starting line of the measured distance (flying start). 2 As you cross the starting line, press the START/STOP button. The measurement for the slow calibration run begins.3 After you have run the measured distance, press the START/STOP button again.4 Now adjust the displayed value to the actual distance run by pressing the PULSE (-) or SPEED (+) button.5 Press the SET button. The slow calibration run is saved. 6 The alternating prompt “Run (walk) fast/press Start” now appears on the display. Repeat steps 1– 5 to calibrate the fast run.Note: After you have performed the first calibration, the calibration menu will change. If you re-access it, you can distinguish between the following options at the start: ON, OFF and NEW. Select ON to run in training mode with calibrated values. Select OFF to run with an uncalibrated RC 14.11. Select NEW to re-calibrate the RC 14.11.
79US/GB6.5 CORRECTION FACTORIf you get good values with or without calibration, which vary only minimally in one direction, you can manually correct these values using the correction factor.Example:You know that you have run exactly 2000 m but the running computer always shows a little more, e.g. 2037 m. The factory setting for the correction factor is 1.000 and does not effect a change.Please calculate the correction factor as follows: kNew correction factor = 1.000 x 2000 / 2037 kNew correction factor = 0.982Please enter this new correction factor. For the setting, please see section 5.4 “Brief guide to device settings”.6 CALIBRATION AND CORRECTION FACTORold correction factor (1.000) x actual distance (2000) displayed distance (2037)
