Starting a Run

The POD 2 will automatically calibrate itself when you start using it, however, you are welcome to manually calibrate the POD 2 as well. Visit our article Calibrating the COROS POD 2 for more information.

You can clip the POD 2 to either your shoelaces or on the back of your shorts/waistband.  Please see How to wear the COROS POD 2 for tips and best practices.

On your watch, enter Run, Trail Run, Track Run, or Indoor Run.  Wait until the GPS, heart rate, and POD 2 (accessories) icons are illuminated before starting your run.

The POD 2 will automatically display the data being measured directly to your watch whether being worn on the waist, or the foot.  See POD 2 Advanced Running Metrics for more information.

When you're finished running, make sure to finish the activity on your COROS watch and sync with the app.  Your POD 2 data will automatically be saved with your completed run, and you can view a detailed breakdown in the activity summary in the app.

Charging the POD 2

To charge the POD 2, place it in the charging dock and make sure the top snaps firmly in place.  An orange light will flash on and off while the POD 2 is being charged.  Once it's at 100%, the light will turn green.

To recharge the dock, plug it into the charging cable and connect to a power source.  An orange light on the dock will flash on and off until the dock is fully charged.  A stable green light will let you know when it's reached 100%.

When either the POD 2 or the dock are removed from power, the light will indicate if the battery is above or below 5%:

  • A green light = battery > 5%

  • An orange light = battery < 5%

You can check the battery level of your POD 2 on your COROS watch by navigating to System -> Accessories -> Added List -> Find the POD 2, if connected the POD 2 will display a battery percentage. You will also see the battery level on your POD 2 prior to starting an activity when connected or within the COROS app Device page (4th tab)
