TALKING PEDOMETER

WITH PULSE METER

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

PLEASE READ THIS OPERATING MANUAL COMPLETELY BEFORE OPERATING

THIS UNIT AND RETAIN IT FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

KNOW MORE ABOUT YOUR TALKING PEDOMETER

This talking calorie counting pedometer is designed for everybody and for all day use. It helps
monitor calorie burned, distance traveled and the time you actually spent on walking and jogging
in daily activity. Its feature includes:

Voice Announcement
Announces calories burned, the number of steps taken, distance traveled and time you have
walked or jogged.

Auto Voice Announcement
Automatically announces what is shown on the display (calories, distance, step-count or time)

Intelligent Counting
The pedometer calculates calories, distance and track time based on actual walking by
ignoring false step counts.

Talking Time
The time is announced in a female voice.

Pulse Meter
Monitors your pulse rate.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE DISPLAYED NUMBERS

This calorie counter/pedometer monitors the up-and-down motions made by the user to count and
register the steps taken. In addition to walking or jogging, there are up-and-down motions
contributing to step-count, such as sitting up or down, jumping or simply moving around. These
non-walking or jogging motions may add erroneous step-counts and result in inaccurate
measurement of distance, calories and time, which are calculated from the overall step-count.
This is the reason why pedometers are typically used by walkers and joggers. The average
person who may want to use the pedometer all day long around the house, in the office or at
shopping malls should understand that these erroneous step-counts could lead to inaccurate
readings. To circumvent this problem, our pedometer has an intelligent mechanism which can
distinguish the step-count of walking or jogging and then use the former to calculate distance,
calories and time.
When used, the displayed step-count on the LCD of the talking pedometer represents only the
counts generated by up-and-down motions including those from non-walking or jogging activities.
The displayed distance, calories and time represents the actual distance, calories and time you
spent walking or jogging.
Depending on your daily activity, you may have a large number of step-count but a small number
of distance, calories and time of your activity occurs at the office or home where most of the
step-counts are not from longer distance walking.

OPERATING YOUR PEDOMETER

To activate your Pedometer, remove the plastic insulator sticking out of its Battery Compartment.

SETTING THE STEP LENGTH AND WEIGHT

In order to calculate the distance and calories, the talking pedometer needs your step (stride)
length and weight. Follow these steps to obtain and enter your step length and weight.

1. Measure your step length toe-to-toe or heel-to-heel. For more accurate result, measure
the distance of 10 steps and average them by dividing 10 to get the step length. For your
reference, the average stride length is around 22 inches (56 cm).

1 2 3

2. To enter the step length and weight, from any mode, press and hold down MODE until you
hear “Enter your step length”. Repeatedly press UP and DOWN to set your step length from
10 inches (or 25 cm) to 80 inches (or 205 cm). Press MODE again and you will hear “Enter
your weight ”. Repeatedly press UP and DOWN to set your weight between 40 pounds
(or 18 Kg) and 300 pounds (or 136 Kg).

accumulate the total time, distance and calories burned that are generated from your walking
through out the day.

ANNOUNCING CALORIES, NUMBER OF STEPS, DISTANCE AND ACCUMULATED TIME

the following table. For example if the unit is displaying calories on the LCD, you will hear the
calories announcement automatically every time 50 calories have been burned.

Function Voice Announcement
Number of Steps Every 1000 steps
Distance Every 0.5 miles
Calories Every 50 Calories
(1 Calorie = 1 Kcal)
Time Every 10 minutes
