STRIDE LENGTH MEASUREMENT

Measure your stride length before setting 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)

Calories

By measuring the intensity of your activity, the unit can calculate the amount of calories burned.

Aerobic steps

Aerobic steps are the physical exercise that helps us stay healthy. Aerobic steps are counted separately when walking more than 60 steps per minute and more than 10 minutes successively. If a rest of less than 1 minute is taken after a continuous walk of more than 10 minutes, this will be regarded as part of “a continuous walk”.

Pitch

The average number of Aerobic steps per minute is displayed. The faster you walk, the more calories you will burn.

The battery saving mode

After 5 minutes with no button being pressed, the display will automatically turn off. However, the unit continues counting steps. This mode extends the battery life. Press

, or to activate the display again.

MEMORY FUNCTION

The unit stores up to 22 days of data, including the current day and displays the previous 7 days of data on the unit. The current day's data is automatically stored in memory when the time reaches 12:00AM (0:00). The display will return to 0.

NOTE:

The time must be correctly set in the unit.

1. Press

to select the type of measurement you

want to see (steps, distance, etc.).

2. Press

to view the results (days 1-7) in

memory.
