Instructions for use
3. Getting to know your Unit
4. Attachment
The paces are detected by the movement of the waist. Attach the pedo meter to your
belt or the top of your shorts, pants or skirt with its clip. It should fit snugly and level,
above one knee. Be sure that the upper side of the pedometer is parallel to the ground
as this will assure proper function and allow easy visual access to the display.
NOTE: Do not bend the clip excessively, otherwise it could break.
Make sure that it does not impede you while walking/running/jogging and does not
hinder your natural movements. Do not attach the unit in the back pockets of your
pants or the like.
5. Operation
WARNING:
Contact your physician or healthcare provider before beginning a weight reduction
or exercise program.
a) Step counter function
Press the MODE button until the arrow on the display points to “St” marking. The step
counter will start counting once motion is detected.
NOTE: Various movements throughout the day might be counted as a step as well, e.g.
movements while sitting or up and down movements. In order to get realistic results it is
recommended, to use this unit for constant activities, e.g. walking, jogging or the like.
b) Distance travelled
•
Press the MODE button until the arrow on the display points to “Mi”.
•
Press the SET button for adjusting the stride distance (i.e. the distance for each
step.) The digits on the display will start to flash.
•
Stride setting range: 12 inch to 60 inch; 1 inch intervals.
•
Press the SET button as often as necessary to adjust it to your stride length.* Once
the stride length is set, leave the unit idle for 3 seconds; it will revert back to distance travelled mode.
•
The distance travelled counter will start counting once motion is detected.
*Finding your stride length: Take ten normal repetitive steps for the activity you are
doing, marking the spot at the beginning of your first step. Measure the distance from
beginning of your first step to the end of your last step. Divide this distance by ten to
determine your stride length. E.g. Total distance = 370 inches; 370 inches / 10 steps
= 37 inches stride length.
NOTE: Please remember that the length of your stride while walking is different than
the length of your stride while running. If you plan to use this pedometer for both
types of exercise, you will have to reprogram your stride length when you go from
one to the other.
c) Calorie calculation
•
Press the MODE button until the arrow on the display points to “Kc”.
•
Press the SET button for inputting your body weight. The digits on the display will
start to flash.
•
Weight setting range: 60 lb to 300 lb, 1 lb interval.
• Press the SET button as often as necessary to adjust to your body weight value. Once
value is set, leave the unit idle for 3 seconds; it will revert back to Calorie mode.
•
The counter will start counting once motion is detected.
d) Auto shut off
If no motion is detected for 1 minute, the unit will automatically shut down. The values on the pedometer will still be retained in memory. All functions will resume once
motion is detected.
e) Viewing your Results
Repeatedly press the MODE button to cycle through the pedometer modes:
STEP ➞ DISTANCE ➞ CALORIE
f) Resetting your Pedometer
Most people prefer to reset steps, distance travelled and calorie consumption back to
“0” daily. To reset the values measured, press the MODE button until it reverts back to
step counter mode. Press the RESET button until the digits revert back to zero.

6. Battery
WARNING
Batteries should not be taken apart, thrown in the fire or short circuited.
This product contains a CR Type Coin Lithium Battery which contains Perchlorate
Material special handling may apply:
See: www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate
The battery life is estimated at 2 years, depending on the frequency of use. A 1.5 V
battery is permanently fitted in the pedometer. If the intensity of the display reduces
or no display appears at all, have the battery changed by a specialist. For service
contact see “warranty section”. Please call customer service prior to sending the unit
for shipping details and terms and conditions for the battery change.
7. Changing the Measuring Unit
On delivery, your pedometer is set to the measuring units pounds and inches. This
default setting can be changed to metric units (cm, Kg). Simply follow these steps to
make the change: Go to Step counter mode. Press and hold the SET button until the
display flashes a “0” digit.
NOTE: Changing between the units, will clear all of your pedometer’s data and settings. If the default setting for metric/imperial has changed, the markings on the
display for distance travelled (Mi), Weight (Lb) and Step (inch) will be incorrect. For
example the LCD display shows 30 cm but the indicator marking shows “inch”. The
user has to bear this in mind when making the imperial/metric change.
