HARDWARE SYSTEM, GAMES OR ACCESSORIES. THIS BOOKLET
Personal Trainer: Walking
Game Card (included)
••Completely read this Operations manual and the Instruction booklets included with the Nintendo DS
and Game Card before using this product. Keep these manuals for future reference.
This accessory can be used with either a Nintendo DS, Nintendo DS Lite, or Nintendo DSi system.
This accessory can be used to measure the steps walked and the life rhythm of people, and even dogs,
when walking at a normal pace. This data can then be sent to the Personal Trainer: Walking Game Card
to calculate your life rhythm. A single Activity Meter accessory can only record the details of one
individual. A maximum of four meters can be used with one Personal Trainer: Walking Game Card.
(Additional meters can be ordered through Nintendo’s web site at
www.nintendo.com or by calling Customer Service at 1-800-255-3700.)
Life rhythm is the pattern you follow in your everyday life.
This accessory will measure your steps, minute-by-minute, and will store approximately a weeks worth of
information. This data will show how many steps you’ve taken and when you walked on days that you’ve
used the meter. From this data, your movement patterns can be analyzed and you can see your life
rhythm. You can create your own goals for your everyday life using this data.
• Check your life rhythm every day and take steps towards a healthier lifestyle!
IMPORTANT: Before using this accessory, you must first make a connection between
the meter and your Personal Trainer: Walking Game Card and register a player.
Please see Registering a Player in the Instruction Booklet included with the Game
Card for more information.

How to Wear
You can carry the Activity Meter accessory in a pocket or bag, as shown below. You can also attach it
with a strap (sold separately).
NOTE: If using a strap, the meter should be tucked in a pocket or other location where it doesn’t hang
loosely. This will help prevent inaccurate measurement of steps.
IMPORTANT: Do not carry the meter in your back pocket. Sitting on it could result in
injury to the user or damage to the meter.
The optional clip connector can be used to attach it to a belt, shoulder strap, or your dog’s collar, as
shown below. See the next page, Attaching the Clip Connector, for more information.
NOTE: When using the clip connector to attach to a belt or collar, make sure the fit is not too tight or to
loose. This will help prevent damage to the clip connector and prevent the meter from falling off.

Attaching the Clip ConnectorCalculating Your Steps Walked and Life Rhythm
1.
Using a small “+” style screwdriver, loosen the screw on the back of the Activity Meter accessory and
remove the battery cover. Keep the battery cover in a safe place for later use.
2.
Replace the battery cover with the clip connector. Make sure the fingers on one edge of the clip
connector are correctly aligned with the slots in the meter.
3.
Tighten the screw, making sure the clip connector is securely fastened.

•
Before attaching the battery cover or the clip connector, or if you have removed the water resistant seal,
always make sure the seal is correctly aligned before reassembling the meter (see page 3).
•
When removing and replacing the battery cover or clip connector, make sure the screw is securely
tightened. This will help prevent these components from becoming detached later, and it will assure
good battery contact with the battery terminals.
•
The internal clock of the meter is reset when the battery cover or clip connector are removed.
8
The Activity Meter accessory will keep track of and store the number steps walked at a normal pace. You
must then periodically transfer this information to the Personal Trainer: Walking Game Card. This process
is described on the next page and in the Instruction Booklet for the Game Card.
In the following cases, the meter may not be able to accurately record information:
•
When walking in a crowd or other situation where you stop and start repeatedly. The meter adjusts for
this by only recording periods of walking lasting 10 seconds or more.
•
If the meter is loose inside a bag or held or attached loosely by a hanging strap.
•
If the movement is different from walking, such as jogging, running, or other vigorous activity.
•
If the movement is softened by shuffling, walking barefoot, or wearing slippers or sandals.
•
If the meter is positioned horizontally.
•
If the meter is used in a very humid environment.
The meter can only store a limited amount of information as follows:
Life Rhythm - steps walked in minute incrementsAbout seven days (four minimum)
Steps - steps walked in hourly or monthly incrementsAbout 30 days
When the amount of data stored is exceeded, old data will be overwritten, starting with the oldest. It is
recommended that you transfer data to the Game Card every day.
• Deleted data is not shown on the Game Card.
• A single meter can only record the details of one individual.
9
• The amount of data that can be saved to the meter (minute-by-minute data) changes according
to the amount of time walked. If you walked for an extremely long time, you may be unable to save all
of your weekly data. (Up to 12 hours of walking a day can be saved as weekly data.)
Infrared Connection
Follow this procedure when you would like to transfer data to the Game Card:
1.
Start up the Personal Trainer: Walking Game Card in your Nintendo DS, Nintendo DS Lite or
Nintendo DSi.
2.
Select CHECK YOUR RHYTHM from the game menu. See the Instruction Booklet for
Personal Trainer: Walking for more information.
3.
Place your Activity Meter accessory so that the infrared
sensors point at each other as shown at right. Do not
exceed 2” (5cm) between the Nintendo DS and the meter.
4.
Push the Communication Button on the meter to begin
communication.

Checking Battery Power and Replacing the Battery
The level of battery charge cannot be checked, however if the Indicator LED does not flash when the
Activity Meter accessory is shaken, the battery is dead and should be replaced.
NOTE: If the battery in the meter is getting low on power, a battery replacement warning may appear on
the Nintendo DS screen when using infrared communication between the Personal Trainer: Walking
Game Card and the meter, as shown below. If this happens, replace the battery in the meter as soon as
possible.
When replacing the battery, the internal clock of the meter will be reset. Connect it
to the Personal Trainer: Walking Game Card to correct the clock.
Battery Duration
Battery life will vary depending on conditions of usage. The battery should last approximately 6 months
under these conditions:
• Walking 10,000 steps per day
• One infrared data communication per day
• Average temperature of 25˚ Celsius (75˚ Fahrenheit)
