AEROBIC STEP FUNCTION

The unit displays the total number of aerobic steps in a day that
satisfies the following two conditions: (The minutes you walked as
the number of aerobic steps is also displayed.)

• Walk more than 60 steps per minute

• Walk for more than 10 minutes continuously

Example: If you walk for 20 minutes at the speed of 120
steps per minute, the number of steady aerobic is 2400.

Note: Taking a rest for less than 1 minute during

continuous walking after 10 minutes is
considered as continuous walking.

CALORIE/AMOUNT OF FAT BURNED DISPLAY

The calorie and amount of fat burned
display indicates a calorie consumed
by walking and length from the
weight, stride distance, number of
steps, and walking speed.

The calorie and amount of fat
burned display increment is
one minute.

If you want to know the target
calorie value, multiply the
displayed calorie by the coefficient
in the table shown right.

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
