DASHTRAK USER GUIDE
Congratulations on your purchase of the DashTrak™ by WalkStyles, Inc. The DashTrak is an
innovative and easy to use device designed to help you achieve your personal activity and
wellness goals.
DO NOT WALK YET!
Please review this guide and determine what the proper DashTrak setup process is for you.
The setup process varies depending upon whether you are a MANUAL user (non uploader)
or an UPLOADER using a Platinum Member account on the WalkStyles.com web site. If you
plan to be an uploader, be aware that no steps will upload from your DashTrak until you
establish your account and sync your DashTrak to the web site. All of the required settings
must be input into the DashTrak online within your Platinum Member account!

Please confirm the content of the DashTrak carton. You should have the
following:
DashTrak, Wall Charging Unit, USB cable, Measuring Tape, Safety Tether,
DashTrak User Guide, Fast Start Guide, Pre-Paid Subscription Code (if purchased as a
DashTrak package).
If you intend to upload your step data to a Platinum Member subscription
account on the WalkStyles.com website, your computer must have the
following:
Windows 98 (or later) operating system, Internet Explorer 6.0 (or later), and
dial-up or broadband (recommended) internet access with a personal e-mail account.
I. Getting Started
I-A. Charging/Re-charging your DashTrak
You should charge your DashTrak for at least 2 hours before beginning the setup process.
1. Remove DashTrak and Wall Charging Unit from carton.
2. Plug the Charging Unit into a 110v outlet (make sure that if the outlet is controlled by a wall
switch, that the switch is turned ON).
3. Plug the USB connector end of the Charging Unit into the USB port of the DashTrak (see
Picture 1, page 4).
Note: It may take up to an hour for the display to become active during its initial charge or if the
battery has lost all of its power.
It is recommended that you re-charge your DashTrak using your Wall Charging Unit overnight at
least every other day (every day if you are continuously walking). After attaching the DashTrak
to the plugged in charger, the display should read DASHTRAK LOCKED-CHARGING. If the
display is blank, you should press the green Menu button. If the display remains blank, confirm
that there is power coming to the charger or computer. The DashTrak battery will also charge
while being attached to a powered on computer via the supplied USB cable. If you charge using
a PC/USB cable, the PC should just be powered on and the operating system NOT launched.
The preferred charge process is via the Wall Charging unit.
The DashTrak will display a Low Battery warning several times, along with a chime, when the
battery needs to be re-charged. Re-charge immediately to prevent any data loss. The Battery
Icon (see Picture 1, page 4) will also show a low level.
3
The DashTrak and the Wall Charging Unit are intended to be used with 110v AC power
only. If you are planning to travel and to re-charge the DashTrak in countries that use current
levels other than 110v, you must use a current converter (available at most travel stores) or
only recharge the DashTrak using a USB cable attached to a powered on computer.
I-B. Determining Your Stride Length
To get the most accurate calorie burn and distance readouts, you will need to determine your
Stride Length. Follow these instructions using the enclosed WalkStyles tape measure.
1. Place the WalkStyles tape measure on a flat surface with the “inch” or “centimeter” side up
depending on your desired unit of measure, and place both heels even with the “0” end of the
tape.
2. Step forward in a normal walking manner and count your steps until the heel of
one foot is closest to the end (3-5 steps average).
3. Note the measurement at the heel of that foot.
4. Repeat 2 - 3 times for accuracy.
5. Divide the distance measured by the number of steps you have taken
(example: 120”/ 4 steps is a 30”stride).
6. Write down this number.
You will use this measurement later when you input your PERSONAL INFO into the DashTrak.
II. DashTrak Setup for Manual Users (non uploader)
Remember, you need to charge your DashTrak for at least 2 hours before you begin this
process. After charging, when you remove the DashTrak from the charging unit, if you see a
warning about having lost power, disregard the warning and push the Next and Exit
buttons until you see the STEPS screen. In the future, if you see this warning, it means your
battery was fully discharged prior to re-charging and you will need to reset the DashTrak clock
using the procedure discussed in Section II-A, page 4.
While you are in the STEPS screen with the DashTrak open, confirm that the counting
mechanism is working by tapping it several times against the palm of your hand. The Step
readout should increase with each tap.
The accurate operation of the DashTrak depends upon the information you enter into the
device. There are two types of information you will enter: DASHTRAK SETTINGS and
PERSONAL INFO.

To enter this data, you will need to access the DashTrak Menu system by using the Menu
button (see Picture 1). Menu options are generally phrased as a question, and the actions are
generally: Yes, Next , Done or Exit.

2. Push the Next button until you see the CHANGE DASHTRAK SETTINGS? screen.
3. Push the Yes button and you will see the SET TIME? screen.
4. Push Yes and then enter the time. Use the button adjacent to the horizontal arrow to
switch between hours and minutes. Make sure the AM/PM designator is set correctly.
When the Time is correct, press Done.
6. You will now be in the SET US OR METRIC? screen. The default setting is US. If you
want your distance data shown as Metric, push Yes and then select the desired setting
and then press Done.
7. Press Exit twice until you are back at the STEPS screen.
The other options in the CHANGE DASHTRAK SETTINGS? menu are Features and can
be reviewed in Section IV and input later.

B. PERSONAL INFO
1. Push the green Menu button until you see the SAFE TO CONNECT TO PC screen.
2. Push the Next button until you see the ENTER PERSONAL INFO? screen.
3. Push the Yes button and you will see the SET STRIDE LENGTH? screen.
a. Push the Yes button and using the buttons across from the arrows, enter your Stride
Length in inches (or centimeters if you have selected Metric as your unit of measure).
b. When the Stride Length is correct, push the Done button.

Next, you should review the Features in Section IV to personalize your DashTrak and to learn
about the Data and Menu Screens.
III. DashTrak Setup and Activating your Platinum Member Account
Remember, you need to charge your DashTrak for at least 2 hours before you begin this
process. After charging, when you remove the DashTrak from the charging unit, if you see a
warning about SYSTEM RESTARTED DATE-TIME UNKNOWN, disregard the warning and push
the Next and Exit buttons until you see the STEPS screen. In the future, if you see this warning, it
means your battery was fully discharged prior to re-charging and you will need to re-sync the
DashTrak clock to your account on the WalkStyles.com web site (see USER TIPS, RE-SYNCING
DASHTRAK TO WEB SITE, page 13).
While you are in the STEPS screen with the DashTrak open, confirm that the counting
mechanism is working by tapping it several times against the palm of your hand. The readout
should increase with each tap.

V. USER TIPS & TROUBLESHOOTING
ELECTRONIC DEVICE – The DashTrak is a sophisticated electronic device that should be protected
from excessive moisture such as rain and/or accidental submergence in sinks, pools etc. Care should
be taken not to recharge in the presence of water.
DASHTRAK POWER – For best results, recharge your DashTrak for at least 2 hours nightly using the
supplied wall charging unit or attached to the USB cable attached to a powered-on computer.
PROPER DASHTRAK WEARING POSITION - For best results, the DashTrak must be worn at your
waist positioned directly above your right knee. It should have a vertical orientation with little to no
forward or backward tilt.
CONNECTING YOUR DASHTRAK TO THE USB CABLE / PC – Always use the SAFE TO CONNECT
TO PC Menu Screen, or your PC may not recognize your DashTrak. If this happens, disconnect the
DashTrak from the USB cable, select the SAFE TO CONNECT TO PC menu option on the DashTrak
(see IV-C-6-a, page 9) and then re-attach your DashTrak to the USB cable. If you are connecting to
your PC via a multi-port USB hub, the WalkStyles web site may not be able to distinguish the DashTrak
13
from the other devices connected via the hub and issue an error message. If this happens, connect
your DashTrak to a USB cable that is connected directly to a USB port on your computer.
SETTING TIME - It is critical to set and maintain the correct time on your DashTrak for accurate daily
information. The Data Screens reset to 0000 everyday at midnight based on the DashTrak time setting.
Platinum Members, who are Uploaders, must sync their DashTrak to their account on WalkStyles.com,
to ensure the correct time set and proper uploading of step related data, before you begin walking. If
you should get a warning message that your DashTrak restarted, you must re-sync your DashTrak to
reset the correct time before you walk, or the steps will not upload properly (see Re-Syncing DashTrak
to Web Site below).
DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME - To adjust your DashTrak for Daylight Savings time, follow the procedure
in the next tip, Re-Syncing DashTrak to Web Site, to update the time on the DashTrak clock. If you are
a manual user see section IV-6-e-i-
1), page 10.
RE-SYNCING DASHTRAK TO WEB SITE - If you are an Uploader and your DashTrak restarts due to
a full power loss and you see this warning on the DashTrak screen, you must re-sync your DashTrak to
the web site before you walk, or the STEPS WILL NOT UPLOAD
.
To do this, log into your Platinum Member account. Then push the green Menu button on the DashTrak
(see Picture 1, page 4) so the screen reads SAFE TO CONNECT TO PC. Then connect the DashTrak
to the USB cable attached to your computer. Click on the DASHBOARD menu option. Click on the
MORE button (located under the step chart). Click on the DashTrak button under SETTINGS located
on the left side of the DASHBOARD page. On the page that opens, review the settings and correct if
necessary, especially the Time Zone. IMPORTANT, you must click on the Update DashTrak
button
(even if you made no settings changes) to update the time onto the DashTrak.
DISPLAY FLASHES AND/OR IS UNRESPONSIVE TO MENU BUTTON – Like any firmware driven
device, the digital processor may unexplainably lock up. If this happens, allow the power to completely
drain from the unit until the screen goes blank. Then re-charge the device and then refer to Section IVC-6-e-
6), page 10, RESET TO FACTORY INSTALL? After successfully re-installing the firmware, make
If you see this warning message
on your DashTrak, you must
re-sync on-line before you walk!
14
sure you re-sync your DashTrak with your account using the RE-SYNCING DASHTRAK procedure on
page 13.
M ICON APPEARS NEXT TO THE BATTERY ICON ON YOUR DASHTRAK DISPLAY – This
indicates that there is a problem with the digital processor reading the memory chip. Immediately, reset
the DashTrak using the procedure in Section IV-C-6-e-
6), page 10, RESET TO FACTORY INSTALL?
After successfully re-installing the firmware, make sure you re-sync your DashTrak with your account
using the RE-SYNCING DASHTRAK procedure on page 13.
DISCONNECTING YOUR DASHTRAK FROM THE USB CABLE / PC – Always use the Safely
Remove Hardware Utility when disconnecting your DashTrak from the USB cable (see III-B, page 7).
Not doing so may damage the DashTrak.
STRIDE CHANGES - If you will be power walking, jogging or running, you can adjust your stride length
accordingly for more accurate distance calculations.
LCD DISPLAY PROTECTIVE COVERING – To protect the display screen from scratches during
manufacturing, there is a protective film on the display screen. This should be removed for better
viewing quality.
DASHTRAK SAFETY TETHER – The tether is provided to prevent accidental loss or damage due to
an inadvertent dislodging of the device from your waist. Attach the hook end of the tether through the
hole in the metal clip on the back of the DashTrak. Then attach the alligator-clip end of the tether to a
belt loop or garment.
WINDOWS AUTOPLAY – The Windows Operating system utilizes AUTOPLAY functionality to
automatically open and start the related firmware of devices that are attached to the PC, via a USB
cable, such as MP3 players, digital cameras, cell phones etc. To protect the integrity of the DashTrak’s
firmware, it is important that the AUTOPLAY feature is turned OFF for devices that have audio files
such as MP3 players (the DashTrak uses a processor similar to an MP3 player). Otherwise, when the
DashTrak is attached to the PC, the Windows operating system will attempt to open, read and run the
DashTrak’s system files potentially damaging them to the extent that the DashTrak may cease to
operate. Each version of Windows has a different process to turn off the AUTOPLAY functionality. For
your version’s process, check the Windows HELP menu on your PC or e-mail
