readings, it is important to maintain a regular pace and stride. Avoid
abrupt, tight turns. The technology of the pedometer limits its use in
rugged terrain.

Setting step length
To use the distance counter (DIST), you must set the step length
beforehand. The more precisely you measure your step length, the
more reliable the distance counter will be.
To do so :
Count the number of steps that you take (NP) to go a known distance (L), 10 or 20 meters, for example.
Divide this distance (L) by the number of steps (NP). The result will
be your step length : LP = L/NP
Example : 13 steps to go 10 meters or 1,000 cm: your step length is
1,000/13= 75 cm
To set step length:
- Press on the MODE button to select the STEP mode.
- Press on the SET button for 2 seconds. The unit display will flash.
Select cm or inches with the RESET button.
Confirm the setting by pressing on the MODE button.
The step length will flash.
- Set the calculated value with the RESET button. Pressing on the
RESET button for a long time will speed up scrolling of the values.
- Press on the SET button to finish the setting.
SETTING THE PEDOMETER
Note: while the pedometer is in setting mode, if no operation is carried out for 30 seconds, the pedometer exits setting mode automatically.
Note: when a system of units is selected in one of the modes, it will
be applied to the other modes.
i.e. if the step length is set in cm, the distance covered will be displayed in km.
Setting the time
- Press on the MODE button to alternate between the HOUR, STEP,
DIST and KCAL display modes.
- In the HOUR mode, press on the SET button for 2 seconds. The
hours will flash. Set the desired hour with the RESET button.
- Confirm the setting by pressing on the MODE button. The minutes
will flash. Set the minutes value using the RESET button.
- Confirm the setting by pressing on the MODE button. Repeat the
procedure to successively set the year, the month, the day and the
format (12/24 h).
- The day of the week is displayed automatically on the top line.
- Press on the SET button to finish the setting. When you do so, the
seconds automatically clear to zero.

Problems encountered Possible causes
1 Nothing is displayed on the screen
1.1 There may be no battery in the device.
1.2 The battery is positioned incorrectly in its compar tment. Check the polarities.
1.3 The battery may be dead. If so, it must be changed. Please refer to the “Changing the battery” section.
2 The product is malfunctioning or
part of the screen is blank
Launch an automatic troubleshooting procedure on the device, referring to the “Factory mode” section.
If the procedure does not run properly, bring the device back to the store nearest you.
If the procedure runs properly, change the battery, referring to the "Changing the battery" section.
3 When you walk, the number of
steps does not increase
3.1 The device may be positioned incorrectly.Ideally, it should be placed and worn on your belt (as close as possible to your center of gravity).
First, make sure that the pendulum mechanism (step counting sensor) of the device is functioning properly :
Put the device in STEP mode
Hold the device straight with the screen upright, in your hand
Swing your arm up and down (1~2 per second)
Check on the screen if the number of steps goes up
3.2 Your walking pace is not high enough for the pedometer to detect your steps. In this case, contact your retailer to check the sensitivity of the device.
To check if the device works properly when you walk fast:
put the device in STEP mode
Next, attach the device to your belt, in an upright position
Walk at a fast pace and check on the screen if the number of steps goes up
4 The distance displayed is false or
inaccurate
4.1 The device does not directly measure the distance covered. It calculates it from the number of steps measured. The accuracy for the distance covered is +/10%, depending on the length of step and the type of exercise done. Readjust your step length settings, referring to the "Setting step length" section and try to
make your stride regular.The reading is more accurate on less rugged terrain.
4.2 Your device may not be set to the right distance unit (km or miles). Refer to the "Setting the distance unit" section.
5 Accuracy is not the same when you
walk as when you run
Your step length changes depending on whether you are walking or running. Don't forget to adjust your step length whenever you change activities, referring to
the "Setting step length" section.
If you are unable to solve the problem using this table, please contact your retailer or our after-sales service department in the store nearest you.
