CALORIE DISPLAY

Correction coefficient for calorie display

The calorie display indicates a calorie consumed by walking and calculated from the weight, stride distance, number of steps, and walking speed.
The calorie display increment is one minute. If you want to know the target calorie value, multiply the displayed calorie by the coefficient in the table shown below.

Example of correction:
For a woman in her 50's with the calorie display of 300, the consumed calorie is calculated as follows.
300 x 0.95 = 285 kcal

STRIDE LENGTH MEASUREMENT

Measure your stride length before beginning to set the pedometer.

How to measure your stride length

1. Walk 10 steps with your normal stride as illustrated below.
   
2. Measure the distance from START to END in inches.
3. Calculate your stride length by dividing the total distance by 10.

Example:
Total distance = 320''
320 ÷ 10 = 32 inches (2 feet 8 inches)
