Sorry. How do I calibrate this thing (on treadmill or running)?

Pair it, start the Polar apps. Go onto the treadmill and set it for a 2 minutes walk or run. Push START at the same time on both the treadmill and the Polar application and do your 2 minutes . Stop both equipment's. Compare the distance showed on the Polar APP with your treadmill readout. They will be a little different. So to calibrate the sensor, Tap on the HISTORY field (where it shows the distance you just did), Tap on the line that shows the training you just did, Tap on the DISTANCE field (that shows the distance you just did) and put the real distance that is shown on the treadmill readout and Tap DONE. You should be good to go... Pair it, start the Polar apps. Go onto the treadmill and set it for a 2 minutes walk or run.

There is no way to calibrate this pedometer. If your looking for a reliable, and calibrated pedometer, I'm afraid this one will not work for you.

I don't think you can calibrate it but you can reset the unit by taking out the batteries, waiting a few minutes and placing them back in. This will reset the unit to its original factory settings. This will delete all previous data and settings.

Hi, If you have an Ipod Nano you can try the very cheap, in comparison with GPS, Nike+ Sportkit. Once you calibrate it, it is very accurate. All my runs (same route) about 8km only vary on +/- 100m.Hope that helps a little bit.

call customer service # in your book, sounds like you need to re calibrate it. LOL Get ready take to a gym, you need like 300 lbs of weight to calibrate.

Interesting question. You might try the Taylor site. My past experience has been that the calibration isn't correct if it is replaced. My friend upgraded to this unit when his failed. I will probably follow suit. ChefAlarm by ThermoWorks - (Red)

Hi Christa, To calibrate the scale: Press "MODE" and "ON/OFF" at the same time to turn on the scale and release the keys until the LCD shows ISN. When ISN is stable, press "ON/OFF", the LCD will show "30lb". Then put a 30 lb weight set unto the scale and press "ON/OFF" again. LCD shows "PASS", the calibration is finished.

You can purchase some calibration solution at almost any gardening/hydroponics shop. The solution is a perfect 4.0. You put a little in a cup (about an inch) and place the tester in there, in the on position. If you don't read 4.0, you can turn that little screw in the back until you do. Thats it. Calibrated.

It has a treadmill mode which you can then calibrate after your run--because it uses an internal accelerometer to measure arm swing, every time you look at your watch, your arm swing changes or stops which impacts the distance. Again, you can calibrate after your run. As for other gym usage, currently I just use the treadmill mode for everything else (within the treadmill activity you can set your training options, eg, goals, laps, zones, intervals). But Tomtom website says that this month it intends to upgrade the software to include a gym mode or other activity mode for everything other than run, cycle, or swim.

I do not have this problem, but there are two tension adjustment rollers to fix your issue. They are at the rear of the unit and require the large hex key that was supplied with the treadmill. You should read the manual to see how to do this adjustment. I hope this helps.

Mine is not accurate. It has been giving me a diastolic reading of 98 for 2 weeks which sent me to the doctor (costing me money and time.) At the doctor's office got two separate readings of 80. Came home and used this device and got 98 again. So it's off by 18 - which makes it worse than useless. I'm going to have to toss it even though it's practically new. Unless someone else wants it?

Mine is not calibrated and is way off. They expect me to find a 5 lb. weight somewhere in order to calibrate the item.

Mine wasn't easy to calibrate. You need to press a button on the back and go around a block - - - a complete 360 degree turn. You may have to do this several times to get it to be reasonably accurate. Good luck.

It seems to calibrate itself upon startup. It will calibrate itself to zero if you turn it on with a container that you intend to fill already on it. As for it's need to be calibrated for accuracy, we'll we just have to trust to the gods of electronics. That said, I've never felt it might be even slightly beyond negligible where error is concerned. I'll buy another if mine ever poops out!

Yes it does work on the treadmill you just need to calibrate the watch. It works great.

Nothing in the directions indicates that you can calibrate this unit other than to check it against another thermometer that is known to be correct.

Not sure. Try to check by taking actual pulse on wrist or machine at drug store. Have you set up your age and such? Mine was accurate but would lock up when I worked out.
