respectively.

The clock is set at 12:00AM by default.

NOTE

The unit automatically returns to clock

display after 5 seconds if no buttons are pressed.

ADJUSTING THE SETTINGS

DISTANCE

The distance traveled is shown on the bottom line
of the LCD display. For greater accuracy it is
recommended that a personal stride-length is set.

1. Press

DIST

until the stride length is viewed on

the top line of the LCD display.

2. Insert a blunt stylus into

HR / +

to increase or

MIN

/ -

to decrease stride length (11 to 60 inches or

30 to 150cm).

The stride length is set at 20 inches

(50cm) by default.

If no changes are made to the Stride function, the
top line of the display will automatically return to the
clock display after 5 seconds.

WEARING THE PEDOMETER

Attach securely at waist level to your belt, slacks, or
training attire and maintain a horizontal position for
more accurate results.

The pedometer counts the number of steps taken.

1. Press

To return the pedometer display to zero, press

RESET

in

STEP

mode.

NOTE

To make the unit more or less sensitive to

motion, reposition the motion sensitivity slide switch.
To d e t e r m i n e t h e p r o p e r a m o u n t o f m o t i o n
sensitivity, experiment with different settings. See
section on

ADJUSTING

MOTION SENSITIVITY for

more information.

NOTE

Improper positioning of the pedometer may

result in incorrect data collection.

MEASURING DISTANCE

Correctly measuring distance depends on accurately
setting the average length of an individual stride
(stride length) and properly setting an internal
motion-sensitivity device.

1. Press

DIST

until the distance traveled is viewed

on the LCD display.

To return the distance counter to zero, press

RESET

in

DISTANCE

display mode.

Total Distance = steps taken x average step length

NOTE

Individual stride-length varies. Input an

a p p r o p r i a t e l e n g t h f o r a n a v e r a g e s t r i d e . To
determine length of stride walk 10 paces and divide
distance traveled by 10.

ADJUSTING MOTION SENSITIVITY

Follow these important procedures below to adjust
Pedometer -/+ Motion Sensitivity Switch and ensure
accurate readings:

1. Set switch to the center.

2

. Reset step counter to zero.

3

. Walk at a normal pace; take at least 100 steps to

provide more accurate motion sensitivity.

4

. Adjust sensitivity switch if walking speed changes.

Repeat steps 2-5 until accurate readings is obtained.

The following conditions may cause incorrect
reading of steps taken:

1. Uneven walking pace, such as walking in crowded
areas or on uneven floor.
2.Frequent up and down movements, such as
standing up and/or sitting down; running, jumping,
or ascending/descending stairs or steep slopes.

SAFETY AND CARE

Clean the unit with a slightly damp cloth and mild
