HOW TO WEAR THE PEDOMETER

Attach at waist level to your belt, slacks, or training attire. Maintaining a horizontal position, attach securely. [FIG. C]

Note: Improper positioning of the pedometer may result in incorrect measurements.

HOW TO SET THE TIME

1. Press MODE to toggle between STEP and DIST/TIMER, and CAL/ TIMER display modes.
2. In STEP mode, press and hold MODE for two seconds. The 12 hour value will flash. Use the ( ) button to make a selection between 12 hour and 24 hour format.
3. Press MODE again, the "hour digits" will flash. Use the ( ) button to enter the hours. Holding down the button will increase the value rapidly.
4. Press MODE again, the "minute digits" will flash. Again, use the ( ) button to change the minutes.
5. Press MODE again, the "second digits" will flash. Use the ( ) button to set the "second digits" to zero. Alternatively, wait until the second digits correspond to the correct time and then press MODE to confirm and exit.

HOW TO ENTER PERSONAL DATA

For the unit to operate properly, personal data such as body weight and stride distance needs to be entered correctly.

Measuring distance correctly depends on setting the correct average length of an individual stride. The stride can be set between 30 to 150 cm (or 11 to 60 inches for imperial version).

Current body weight can be entered between 30kg and 150kg (or 60 to 340 pounds for imperial version). Body weight is used to determine the amount of calories that are lost during an exercise routine.

Entering stride length and body weight:

1. Press MODE to toggle between STEP, DIST/TIMER [FIG. D], and CAL/TIMER [FIG. E] display modes.
   
2. Enter DIST/TIMER or CAL/TIMER mode.
3. Press and hold MODE for two seconds. The unit will enter the two-lineSTRIDE/WEIGHT display. The stride numbers will flash. [FIG. F]
   
4. Press () until the desired stride length is entered. Holding down the button will increase the value rapidly.
5. Press MODE, the weight numbers will flash.
6. Press () until the desired weight is entered, again holding down the button will increase the value rapidly.
7. Press MODE to exit.

Note: if no changes are made to the Stride / weight display, the unit will automatically return to the DIST/TIMER display mode after about seven seconds.

An individuals stride may vary in length. Input the appropriate length for an individual's average walking length. To determine your average stride length, walk 10 steps and divide by 10 the total distance covered. Set the unit to this number.

HOW TO USE THE PEDOMETER

A pedometer function will count the number of steps a person takes over a specified distance.

1. Press MODE to toggle between STEP, DIST/TIMER, and CAL/ TIMER display modes.
2. Set the unit in STEP mode.
3. Press RESET, the pedometer display will return to zero.[FIG.G]
   

Note on motion sensitivity: To make the unit more or less sensitive to motion, reposition the motion sensitivity slide switch. To determine the proper amount of motion sensitivity for an individual walking pattern, experiment with different settings.

HOW TO USE THE DISTANCE AND CALORIE FUNCTION

This unit can measure the total distance walked or ran and calculate the total number of calories consumed.

1. Press MODE to toggle between STEP, DIST/TIMER, and CAL/ TIMER display modes.
2. Set the unit in DIST/TIMER mode.
3. The top line of the display shows the total distance a person has walkedor ran.
4. Again, press MODE to toggle between STEP, DIST/TIMER, and CAL/ TIMER display modes.
5. Set the unit in CAL/TIMER mode.
6. The top line of the display shows the total number of consumed calories.
   Note on clearing the total distance and the number of consumed calories: The number of steps taken, the total distance traveled, and the number of calories consumed are inter-related. Clearing the STEP data will clear the total distance and the total number of calories consumed.
   
7. To clear STEP data, refer to How To Use The Pedometer section.

Note on calorie consumption: In order to keep fit, it is necessary for a person weighing 60 kg to walk 10,000 steps to consume 300 calories per day. The following graph shows the suggested consumption of calories with reference to people of different weight. [FIG. H]

HOW TO SET THE TIMER FUNCTION

The count-up timer will start from zero and count to a maximum time of 99 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds (99:59'59).

1. Press MODE to toggle between STEP, DIST/TIMER, and CAL/ TIMER display modes.
2. Set the unit in DIST/TIMER, or CAL/TIMER mode.
3. To start the timer, press ST/SP.
4. To stop the timer, press ST/SP again.
5. To reset the timer to zero, press RESET.

HOW TO TAKE A PULSE

A person's pulse rate indicates the number of times that the heart beats within a given amount of time. This unit attempts to calculate approximately how many times a heart will beat in one minute. Many factors such as smoking eating, breathing and stress can affect the rate at which a person's heart will beat. Monitoring pulse rate can be useful for determining how hard the heart is working at a given level of activity and this information can be used to plan an effective exercise routine. Individuals with an irregular heart beat or cardiovascular deficits may experience difficulty obtaining a pulse reading.

To take a pulse:

1. Press PULSE [ ] button, the display will show a heart icon and the word PULSE on the upper line. [FIG. I]
   
2. Insert your right index finger into the finger slot and position your fingerso that the padded portion is on the pulse sensor.
   
   
3. Maintain a steady position, holding too forcefully or too lightly may result in an incorrect reading.
   

Note: When your finger is inserted properly, the heart icon on the display will flash. This indicates that the unit is reading a pulse. The unit will display the number of beats per minute that your heart is currently making.

If, for some reason, the unit cannot read a pulse within a given time it will automatically return to the previous display mode.

Press pulse [ ] button and try taking your pulse again.
