Warnings and Cautions

WARNING: Before starting any exercise program, we strongly suggest that you visit your doctor for a complete physical and to discuss your exercise plans.

PLEASE READ all information in this instruction manual before using this unit.

CAUTION: The VIA Calorie is not water resistant. DO NOT submerge the pedometer in water or operate it in unprotected wet conditions.

KEEP the unit out of the reach of children and pets. The unit contains small parts that may be swallowed.

AVOID exposing the pedometer to extreme conditions or weather.

AVOID rough use or severe impact to the pedometer.

CLEAN the pedometer occasionally with a soft, dry cloth.

STORE the pedometer in a dry place when it is not in use for long periods of time.

NEVER expose the pedometer to strong chemicals such as gasoline, cleaning solvents, acetone, alcohol, insect repellent, sunscreen, hair spray and other toiletries, as they may damage the unit.

FOR BEST ACCURACY, the pedometer should be worn on the waistband (via the belt clip). If the VIA Calorie is loosely contained, the unit’s accuracy will be compromised.

NEVER disassemble or modify the unit. Modifications to this unit will VOID THE WARRANTY.

Troubleshooting

If the unit is not counting steps properly, the following conditions may be the cause:

- The unit may be incorrectly positioned: For best results, the pedometer should be positioned perpendicular to the ground.

- The unit is being moved in an irregular pattern: If the pedometer is placed in a bag and the bag moves irregularly or if the pedometer is in a position to swing around in an irregular motion. Similarly, walking up / down stairs, playing sports and ascending steep slopes may also affect the readings.

- The user has an inconsistent or slow pace / step motion: If the user does not have a fairly consistent pace / step motion, the pedometer may not detect the movement accurately (i.e. shuffle feet, walking in a crowd).

- The battery may be weak

VIA Calorie Battery Information:

Signs of a failing / dying battery:

- A fading or blank display

- Inaccurate readings

Replacing the VIA Calorie Battery

The VIA Calorie uses one LR1130 1.5V Alkaline battery.

- Using a small screwdriver, remove the screw from the battery hatch. Gently remove the battery hatch from the pedometer.

- Remove the old LR1130 battery & replace it with a new LR1130 battery. Be sure the battery is in the correct polarity position – positive (+) side of the battery is visible.

- Replace the battery hatch carefully; do not overtighten the screw.

NOTE: Keep watch batteries away from children and pets.

NOTE: This product contains a button-cell battery. If swallowed, contact a physician immediately; severe damage or death may occur.

NOTE: Watch batteries contain chemical substances. Dispose of the pedometer, battery and all components according to local regulations. Unlawful disposal can contribute to environmental pollution.

NOTE: Do not place battery in fire; the battery may explode.

NOTE: Special handling may apply. See www:dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate.

BE AWARE: Alkaline batteries of the type used in this unit are very susceptible to improper storage. Many times, batteries purchased as new are dead or weak before they are purchased. If you try a new battery and problems persist, please try a second battery from another source, just to be certain.

Activating the VIA Calorie

In order to activate the VIA Calorie for the first time, you must remove the battery insulator tab from the battery compartment.

Pull the clear tab gently until the entire tab is removed from the coin hatch area.

Remove the label that appears on the pedometer display.

The LCD display should now be active and ready for use.

Determining Stride Length

The stride length that you enter will affect the step counter portion of this pedometer. If you find that the step counter is generally too high or too low, you may need to adjust the stride length.

- You will need a tape measure to accurately measure your stride.

- Create a starting mark on the ground. With your toe on the mark, take 10 natural strides in a straight line.

- At the end of the tenth step, create a second mark directly in front of your forward foot.

- Measure the distance between the marks and divide by 10.

NOTE: For optimal results, the pedometer should be used for walking only.

Jogging and/or running with the pedometer may cause irregular motions

and varied stride lengths, which may result in inaccurate step counts.
