OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Congratulations on taking the rst step to wellness with your

purchase of an ACCUSPLIT pedometer. It’s easy to set up your

new pedometer. Just follow the steps below, and start walking!

SETTING UP YOUR PEDOMETER

To record your distance and calories
accurately, you will need to set your stride
length and body weight.

Finding Your Stride Length: Your stride
length is the length of one of your steps,
measured from “toe to toe.” To measure,
walk 10 steps with your normal stride and
measure the TOTAL DISTANCE from the
toe of your starting step to the toe of your
10th step (see diagram below). Divide the
TOTAL DISTANCE by 10. This is your stride
length. Example: If you walk 22 feet, your
stride length is 2.2 feet.

Setting Your Stride Length: Press the
black MODE button until arrow at the top
of display points to “DIST.” Press the gray
SET button once to enter setting mode.
Display will shift to show stride (for example,
“F 1.95” means stride is set to 1.95 feet).
Press the gray SET button to increase stride
length. Press the yellow RESET button to
decrease stride length. Press the black
MODE button to exit setting mode.

Setting Your Weight: Press the black
MODE button until arrow at the top of the
display points to “CAL.” Press the gray SET
button once to enter setting mode. Display
will shift to show weight in pounds. For
example, “L 165” means weight is set to 165
lbs. Press the gray SET button to increase
weight setting. Press the yellow RESET
button to decrease weight setting. Press
black MODE button to exit weight setting
mode.

Setting the Clock: Press the black MODE
button until the arrow on the top of display
points to clock icon . Press the gray SET
button once to enter clock setting mode,

clock readout will ash. Press the yellow

RESET button to advance hours. Press the
gray SET button to advance minutes. Press
black MODE button to exit clock setting
mode.
Note: display will show “A” for AM and
“P” for PM.

WEARING YOUR PEDOMETER

While gently holding the belt clip open, slide
the pedometer onto your belt or the top edge

of your pants or skirt. It should t snugly and

level, above one knee.
Note: The pedometer should be as vertical
as possible. Walkers with larger stomachs

may nd it helpful to wear the pedometer

farther back on the body, toward one hip.

The cover must be closed for the
pedometer to work. To avoid losing or

dropping your pedometer, use the included
leash and clip to fasten the pedometer
securely to your clothing.

Attaching the Leash: Attach the pedometer
to the leash by looping the leash around
the pedometer belt clip. Next, clasp the
waistband of your clothing with the attached
clip. You can also use a safety pin to fasten
the leash to your clothing, or loop the leash
through your belt or belt loop.

First, loop the
pedometer clip

Next, loop the metal
clip, then clasp clothing

1. To lter out random movements, the

unit remains in standby mode until
5 continuous steps are registered.
Only then are the 5 steps calculated
in, and an Active indicator “

appears on the upper left of display.

stops, after 2 seconds the timer
pauses and the unit switches to

REPLACING THE BATTERY

When the display starts to dim or goes blank, it is time to
replace the battery. Your pedometer uses one Type LR44

1.5 volt alkaline battery.
To replace:

1. Insert a coin into the slot on the bottom of the case,
and twist counterclockwise to loosen the case front. Lift
case front away.

2. Using a pen or other thin object, push battery sideways
out of its holder. Replace it with a new battery. The
battery’s positive (+) terminal should be FACE UP while
you put it into the pedometer.

3. Align case front over the pedometer and press gently
to snap cover back into place, starting with top.

EXCLUSIVE DISTANCE ACCURACY TIP

Maximize the accuracy of your distance measurement by:

• Walking a measured 0.5 or 1.0 mile/km. (We recommend
that you use a
high school).

• Compare the DISTANCE recorded to the measured
distance. If the pedometer shows you walked LESS than you
actually did, reset your STEP LENGTH to a longer setting. If
the pedometer shows you walked MORE than you actually
did, reset the STEP LENGTH to a shorter setting.
