Pedometer use

Setting personal data

To use the distance calculating function, the step length
should previously be set. The more accurate the step length
measurement and the more the distance covered
calculation will be reliable. To do so, count the number of
steps that you do (NS) to cover a known distance (D), 10 or
20 meters for example. Divide the distance by the number
of steps, you thus obtain your step length: SL = D/NS
Example: 13 steps to cover 10 meters (being 1000 cm),
your step length is
1000/13 = 75 cm
To use the calorie function, the person’s weight should
previously be set.

Using the pulse-rate sensor

The pulse-rate function allows you to measure your heart
rate in number of pulsations per minute and thus control the
intensity of your effort.
To measure your pulse-rate:

1. Press the PULSE button, the screen displays an icon in
the shape of a heart and PULSE on the upper line (see
chapter 4.3.)

4. Press the MODE button once again. The bodily weight
figure flashes.

5. Press the RESET button to set the weight. Press the
RESET button without releasing it for faster setting.

6. Press the MODE button to confirm the setting and exit

the setting mode.

The pedometer function counts the number of steps that a
person covers on a distance.

1. Press the MODE button to switch between the STEP,
DIST/TIMER and CAL/TIMER modes.

2. Select the STEP mode display

3. Press the RESET button, the steps meter resets to zero.

Setting the sensitivity of the steps measurement
sensor: use the setting switch to adjust the appliance’s

measuring sensitivity. To find a suitable sensitivity level
suited to the type of step, several different settings will have
to be tested

Using the distance and calories calculations

This appliance calculates the total distance covered and the
number of calories burnt.

1. Press the MODE button to select the DIST/TIMER dis-
