While you run, use the scroll button to click through your stat loop (at the 
top of the display) and check your info: elapsed time, distance, current pace, 
average pace, speed, average speed, calories burned, lap time, time of day, 
heart rate (as bpm for beats per minute, if you’re using a heart rate monitor), 
lap time (if laps are turned on) and Run/Rest counters (if you’re in interval 
mode). 
Note: You can customize your stats by going to the Customize Tab of the Nike+ Connect software.

If the battery or memory is getting low, you’ll hear an alarm. You’ll hear three 
tones, and the backlight will be lit for 5 seconds. You’ll also see one of the 
following messages: Low Memory, Memory Full and/or Low Battery. Push the 
Select button once to dismiss the alarm.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
When you see any of these screens, or hear these alarms, plug your watch into  
a USB port of your computer to upload your run data and/or to recharge the 
battery. These three alarm messages may also appear when you end a run. 
Note: You ’ll only hear these alarms if you have sound turned on in the Customize tab of 
Nike+ Connect.
Warnings
“Low Memory” appears when the amount of data on your 
watch is close to its maximum capacity. You will still be 
able to start your run, but you could reach maximum 
capacity during your run, at which point your run will end 
and your run info will be saved. 
“Memory Full” may appear when you try to start a run 
with no memory remaining. You will automatically be 
returned to the previous screen. You should upload your 
run data to clear the current data on the watch, and free 
up the memory.
“Low Battery” appears when the battery level is equal to 
or below its memory reserve of one hour. You’ll have 
approximately another hour of run time before the battery 
will run out.

You can track your heart rate with your watch when you link it to a heart rate 
monitor (such as the Polar Wearlink+ Transmitter, sold separately). The electrode 
areas on the inside of the strap detect your heartbeat, and the monitor sends it to 
your watch. (fig. 24) 
 
WEARING A HEART RATE MONITOR
1. Moisten the electrode areas (on the inside) by placing them under running water. (fig. 31)
2.  Attach the transmitter to the strap, adjusting the length as needed to fit snugly and 
comfortably around your chest. (fig. 32)
3. Place the strap around your chest, adjusting the length just under the chest muscles,  
and attach the hook to the other end of the strap. (fig. 33)
4. Make sure the electrode areas are pressed firmly against your skin, with the logos on the 
transmitter in a central, upright position. (fig. 34)

LINKING THE HEART RATE TRANSMITTER TO YOUR WATCH
Before using your heart rate transmitter for the first time, you’ll need to link it to 
your Nike+ SportWatch GPS.
 
 
 
 
 
Go to run > Options > New Sensor. You’ll see a “looking for sensor” message 
then a “walk around” message. When the heart rate transmitter is linked, you’ll 
see a heart icon, along with the message “Sensor Found.”
RUNNING WITH THE HEART RATE TRANSMITTER AND YOUR WATCH
 
Use both your shoe sensor and heart rate transmitter to get the most out of  
your run (pace, distance, time, calories burned, and beats per minute).
Wear the Heart Rate Monitor as instructed above.
Go to the main menu on your watch, then go to “run” and make sure your heart 
rate transmitter is around your chest. It must have been linked to your watch 
previously, before it will show up in your menu. Select “continue” and the watch 
will link to the appropriate sensor (GPS, shoe and/or HRM). Once your sensors 
are linked, select “start” to begin your run. You’ll see bpm (beats per minute) as 
part of your run info.
Note: Detach the connector from the strap and rinse the strap under running water after 
every use. Dry and store the strap and connector separately. Wash the strap regularly in a 
washing machine at 40c/104f, or at least every fifth use.

will show the messages “linking sensors.” When it finds your heart rate monitor, 
you’ll see the message “Sensor Found!”

If you’re going to run outdoors without a shoe sensor, go to the main 
menu and select “run.”  The satellite icon will blink until your watch 
finds a satellite signal, then you’ll see “Ready.” Choose “start” to start 
your run. (Read more on page 28).

If you’re going to run outdoors with a shoe sensor, select run > Shoe Pod > on > 
continue. The satellite and shoe icons will blink until a link is established. When 
you see “Ready” press “start” to start your run. Using a Nike+ Sensor outdoors 
will improve accuracy when a GPS signal is weak (i.e. dense foilage, a tunnel.)

RUNNING INDOORS
If you’re going to run indoors, finding a GPS signal will be difficult, so 
you should use your shoe sensor. Make sure you have the sensor 
underneath the sock liner of your Nike+ ready shoe.

To improve overall accuracy and record every step of your run turn the GPS and 
shoe sensor “on.” You’ll want to do this if you’re running in a tunnel, or a forest, 
where the satellite signal might, temporarily, get lost. 
By default, the GPS function is “on.” If you want to turn it off, go to run > GPS > off.
To link to a shoe pod, go to run > Shoe Pod > on.

Note: You can link your watch to up to 7 other shoe sensors, and 7 other heart rate monitors.

If you lose the connection to a sensor, your watch will go into a paused state 
automatically. If the paused state is on for an additional 30 minutes, then your watch 
will end the run. 
 
To pause your run, press the Select button. If you enter the paused state 
intentionally, your watch will end your run after 30 minutes.

AUTO CALIBRATION
Your shoe sensor is calibrated automatically, using GPS. In order to calibrate your 
shoe sensor, you’ll need to run outside, where there’s a strong GPS signal for at 
least half a mile. Calibration will get better over time.
