The Diet Function calculates the estimated calories burned by using
the built-in pedometer, and compares the value with the entered target
value. * The consumption by basal metabolism is not counted as part
of this calculation.

Food items can be selected from the Food Database, or programmed
as desired. Have the Organizer compare the value with the entered
target intake value.

* Basal metabolism is the energy required to maintain your body’s

vital functions such as breathing, your heart beating, and
maintaining your body temperature.

• Follow the guidance of your physician when using this unit to
organize your diet.

• Prior to using this function, you will need to measure your stride

Measuring your stride length

In order for the Diet function to work properly, you must first measure
your stride length.

Note:

• A “stride length” in this manual refers to the distance from the tip of
your toe of one foot to the tip of your toe on the other when taking a
step.

1. Walk 10 normal steps, as shown in the illustration.

2. Measure the distance you have traveled.

3. Divide the distance by 10. Record the result as your stride length.

Example:
Distance traveled = 750cm
Stride length = 750 ÷ 10 = 75cm

Positioning the unit

Close the cover, and insert the unit into the carrying case as shown in
the illustration, then make sure that the top flap is fastened.

The unit may not count steps correctly if you:

• Walk at an irregular pace, or in a crowded place.

• Shuffle legs excessively.

• Wear sandals when walking.

• Vary your movement (play sports, for example).

• Move up/down excessively.

• Are in a vehicle with vertical and horizontal motions.

• Attach the unit improperly (tilted, for example).

Clip

Secure the carrying case clip to your belt or to the top of your shorts or
pants.
The unit must be attached in vertical position to the ground in order to
count steps correctly.

• Make sure that the holder’s clip is secured firmly in place. If worn
improperly, the unit may be detached or may result in incorrect
measurements.

• The belt clip is designed to hold the unit while walking. The clip may
not hold the unit or may break if it is exposed to a high-impact
condition such as running, or playing basketball.

About USB Ports

• Activating the power saving mode (such as suspend, resume, or

sleep function) of some PCs may result in the USB port malfunc­tioning. If such case is observed, disable the power saving mode.

• The software may not operate properly with a commercially

available USB card installed in a PCI slot.

• If the USB port on your PC or the USB hub connected to the

device does not operate properly, follow the steps below:

– If your PC comes equipped with several USB ports, try using a

different USB socket.

– If other USB devices are connected to your PC, disconnect them

from your PC to avoid possible conflicts.

• Since the USB hub may introduce problems, try bypassing the

USB hub by connecting the unit directly to your PC.

• Do not remove and connect the USB cable from/to the PC in a

short period of time.
