when you’re taking a step. It’s more accurate than other pedometers which

use the simple pendulum design. Use this in your pocket, back or hip for

added convenience. The seven-day memory helps you keep track of your

daily activity to help you reach your tness goals.

AEROBIC STEP FUNCTION

This Pocket Pedometer counts all steps and separately counts aerobic

steps, which are dened as:

• Walking more than 60 steps per minute

• Continuously walking for more than 10 minutes

The pedometer separately displays both total steps and
aerobic steps. Aerobic steps will be counted in total steps
for the day.

NOTE: Taking a rest for less than 1 minute during

continuous walking for more than 10 minutes is considered as
continuous walking.

CALORIE DISPLAY

Correction coefficient for

calorie display

The calorie display indicates a
calorie consumed by walking and
calculated from the weight, stride
distance, number of steps, and
walking speed.
The calorie display increment is
one minute. If you want to know
the target calorie value, multiply the

displayed calorie by the coefcient

in the table shown below.

Man Woman

20’s

1.10 1.07

30’s

1.05 1.01

40’s

1.02 .97

50’s

1.01 .95

60’s

1.00 .95

70’s

.98 .96

80’s

.95 .95

Example of correction:

For a woman in her 50’s with the calorie display of 300, the consumed
calorie is calculated as follows.

300 x 0.95 = 285 kcal

9

STRIDE LENGTH MEASUREMENT

Measure your stride length before beginning to set the pedometer.

How to measure your stride length

1. Walk 10 steps with your normal stride as illustrated below.

2. Measure the distance from START to END in inches.

3. Calculate your stride length by dividing the total distance by 10.

Example:

Total distance = 320''
320 ÷ 10 = 32 inches (2 feet 8 inches)

Conversion Chart

12 inches = 1 foot
24 inches = 2 feet
36 inches = 3 feet
48 inches = 4 feet
