Robic M417 Instructions and Operating Guide

Thank you for buying this Robic M-417 pedometer. Please read these instructions
carefully before using it to ensure safe and correct use. Do not expose your pedometer to
direct sunlight, rain, dust, severe shock, humidity or immerse it in water. As a sensitive
instrument, the M417 may cease to operate if dropped onto the floor. Make certain it is
securely attached to your clothing. To open the cover, hold the M417 in one hand with
the clip towards your palm and gently use the thumb of your other hand to open the case
using the lip at the top of the lid.

The M417 has five (5) separate functions.

1.) STEP COUNTER counts up to 100,000 steps taken and is always seen on the

upper row of the display.

These functions can be viewed on the lower row by pressing MODE:

2.) DISTANCE shows how far you have traveled to within 1/1000 of a mile.

3.) “CALORY” calculates how many calories you have expended.

4.) TIMER automatically times the hours and minutes you have spent walking.

5.) CLOCK shows the current time of day in Hours and Minutes.

There are three (3) pushbuttons which activate all operations of your pedometer:
Pressing MODE (Top Button) selects Distance, “Calory”, Timer or Clock in the lower
row.
Use SET (Middle Button) to input your stride length in Distance, your weight in Calorie
and to set the hour and minute in Clock.
UP/RESET (Bottom Button) will advance (increase) the value being input during SET
and will Reset all function values to zero if not in SET.

This shows the location and layout of all digits and indicators on the M417 Dual Display

ground, straight and true, not angled or dangling from your clothing. If the pedometer is
not straight and true, you will not receive accurate results. Factors which may result in an
inaccurate step count include shuffling, walking uphill or down and walking at an
inconsistent pace. Position the Pedometer by securely attaching it at waist level to your
belt or to the top of your pants or shorts, on the front of your clothing close to the crease
line of your pants (not at your side). The case must be closed at all times, opened only to
view results. A good way to check if your pedometer is positioned correctly is simply
take 50 or 100 steps, counting them to yourself. Now, check the step count value on your
pedometer. If the reading varies somewhat, please make sure your wearing the
pedometer is positioned correctly.

A stride length and weight must be entered so Distance and Calories can be calculated. If
you seek only to count steps, no values need to be input. Determine your Stride length
in inches, walk or run a known distance and divide by the number of steps taken. Always
measure heel to heel or toe to toe. For example, if it takes 10 steps to cross a 25 foot
room, the stride length is 2.5 feet. 2.5 feet equals 30 inches as there are 12 inches in a
foot. You can input from 10 to 60 inches as your stride length. Enter Stride Length by
pressing MODE until DISTANCE appears. Then, press SET and current stride length in
inches “INCH” appears flashing. Press and hold UP/RESET to increase the value. Press
SET again and the stride length disappears but is entered. Note: The M417 will return to
DISTANCE if no pusher is pressed within 5 seconds after beginning SET process.

Enter Weight by pressing MODE until “CALORY” appears below the lower row and
“KCAL” appears to the right of the lower row. Press SET and current weight in pounds
“LBS” appears flashing. Press and hold UP/RESET to increase the value. The range is
40 to 350 pounds. Press SET again to input the Weight.

After you have entered your stride length and weight, you may now attach the M417 to
your clothing and begin using its functions as noted. Use
DISTANCEÆCALORYÆTIMERÆCLOCK.

The STEP COUNTER is shown in the upper row of the display. “STEP” appears to the
right of the upper row. Press UP/RESET to reset the counter to zero.

The “DISTANCE” is shown below the lower row with “MILE” appearing to the right of
the lower row of digits. Distance is a measure of your stride length times the number of
steps taken. Press

“CALORY” appears below and “KCAL” to the right of the lower row of digits.
Expenditure up to 10,000 calories is estimated based on your weight and the number of
steps taken. Press MODE for Timer.
