GPS positioning continues while measuring, and when positioning is complete the device starts recording positional information. The routes before GPS positioning is complete and while using indoor mode are not recorded. For SF-710 and SF-510, distance and pace data can still be measured. The device will use the stride sensor until a GPS connection is made. U “Measurable Items” on page 34

Indoor mode (SF-710/SF-510 only)

This function allows you to measure without performing GPS positioning. Use this when GPS positioning cannot be performed because you are indoors and so on.

Making precise measurements

In the following situations, complete GPS positioning, display the measurement screen, and then wait outside for at least 15 minutes with no obstructions overhead. This allows you to make precise measurements.
When you use the device for the first time after purchase
When the device has not been used for several months
You need not make these preparations from the second time.
Note:
The basic configuration of the GPS system is 24 satellites orbiting the Earth at an altitude of 20,000 km, with at least four satellites travelling in six different orbits. The GPS receiver acquires data from four satellites and calculates the latitude, longitude, altitude, and time. Measuring can start once positioning has been performed and this information has been received. Since you can receive more detailed GPS navigation data (satellite orbital information) after 15 minutes from this point, you can make more precise measurements.
However, errors may occur in distance measurements, even after waiting 15 minutes or more, due to atmospheric conditions and the usage environment.

Educating Your Stride Sensor

About the stride sensor

This device contains a stride sensor that uses a stride algorithm to learn your pace from your actual speed and your body's vibration frequency. This allows the device to calculate distance and laps with high precision, as well as measure your pitch and stride even when GPS signal is lost such as in a tunnel, and so on (SF-710/SF-510 only).

Educating the stride sensor

When using the device for the first time, run under the following conditions so that the stride sensor can learn your stride.
Location/Time
Run or walk in the following locations that allow GPS positioning.
When outside with no obstructions overhead: Approximately 10 mins.
When surrounded by tall buildings: approximately 30 mins.
Measure
Measure using the chronograph function. U “Measuring Time, Distance, and Speed (Chronograph Function)” on page 38
Note:
You need not make these preparations from the second time. However, note if the device is reset so you have to go
through the device set up again you will need to repeat this process.
When you mainly use the device for walking, from the Measure set. menu, set Activity Type to Walk.
U “Measure set.” on page 106
The device's stride sensor is used for running and walking.
Usage, for example educates the stride sensor according to your primary usage for example if you plan to use the device
to measure running, run at your usual pace to educate the sensor. Errors may occur if your stride pattern is significantly different to the learning session.
