BATTERIES

This product uses 1 x LR43 size 1.5V battery. Should you need to change the batteries,

NOTE
Protect the environment by taking exhausted batteries to authorized disposal stations.

CLOCK

Insert a blunt stylus into the HR / + or MIN / - buttons to alter the clock hour and minute values, respectively. The clock is set at 00:00 by default.
NOTE
The unit automatically returns to clock display after 5 seconds if no buttons are pressed.

ADJUSTING THE SETTINGS

DISTANCE

The distance traveled is shown on the bottom line of the LCD display. For greater accuracy it is recommended that a personal stride-length is set.

1. Press DIST until the stride length is viewed on the top line of the LCD display.
   
   
2. Insert a blunt stylus into HR / + to increase or MIN / - to decrease stride length (30 to 150cm or 11 to 60 inches). The stride length is set at 50cm (20 inches) by default. If no changes are made to the Stride function, the top line of the display will automatically return to the clock display after 5 seconds.

WEARING THE PEDOMETER

Attach securely at waist level to your belt, slacks, or training attire and maintain a horizontal position for more accurate results.

USING THE PEDOMETER

COUNTING STEPS TAKEN

The pedometer counts the number of steps taken.

1. Press DIST once to view number of steps.
   To return the pedometer display to zero, press RESET in STEP mode.

NOTE
To make the unit more or less sensitive to motion, reposition the motion sensitivity slide switch. To determine the proper amount of motion sensitivity, experiment with different settings. See section on ADJUSTING MOTION SENSITIVITY for more information.
NOTE
Improper positioning of the pedometer may result in incorrect data collection.

MEASURING DISTANCE

Correctly measuring distance depends on accurately setting the average length of an individual stride (stride length) and properly setting an internal motion-sensitivity device.

1. Press DIST until the distance traveled is viewed on the LCD display.

To return the distance counter to zero, press RESET in DISTANCE display mode.
Total Distance = steps taken x average step length
NOTE
Individual stride-length varies. Input an appropriate length for an average stride. To determine length of stride walk 10 paces and divide distance traveled by 10.

ADJUSTING MOTION SENSITIVITY

Follow these important procedures below to adjust Pedometer -/+ Motion Sensitivity Switch and ensure accurate readings:
