GRAMMING YOUR FREESTYLE® DIGITAL PEDOMETER).
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Before using your FreeStyle® digital pedometer, it is necessary to program the unit with your stride length and your weight. Accurate measurement of this data will allow you to achieve precise, individual results.
MEASURING YOUR
STRIDE LENGTH:
1)At your normal stride, walk or run 14 strides, per figure A below.
Note: If you intend to use the pedometer while running, you should run the 14 strides. If you intend to use the pedometer while walking, you should walk the 14 strides.
2)Measure the distance from Start to End (see figure A) in inches.
Note: If measuring in centimeters (cm), convert the distance to inches by multiplying your measured distance by 0.39.
Figure A
3)Compute your single stride length by dividing the total
distance measured in #2) above by 14.
Example:
Total distance measured = 384 in. Single stridelength =
384 in. ÷ 14 strides = 27.43 in.
stride
4)Round off your single stride length measure in #3) above
to the nearest inch Example: 27.43 in. = 27 in.
stride stride
5)Convert your rounded off sin- gle stride length in #4) above to feet and inches by dividing
by 12.
Example: 27 in. ÷ 12 = 2 ft. 3 in.
This will be entered into your pedometer as described in
“SETTING YOUR STRIDE LENGTH.”
MEASURING YOUR WEIGHT:
1)Using a bathroom scale or equivalent, determine your weight in pounds. Be sure to remove your shoes and excess clothing.
2)If measuring in kilograms, multiply by 2.20 to convert to pounds (lbs).
PROGRAMMING YOUR
FREESTYLE® DIGITAL
PEDOMETER
After measuring your stride length (feet and inches) and weight (pounds), it is necessary to program this data into your digital pedometer.
SETTING YOUR STRIDE LENGTH:
1)Slide MODE switch D to MPH position.
2)Press STR/WT key B. Upper display shows default stride F2.00 (2 feet 00 inches), with the “F” flashing.
3)Adjust stride according to your measured stride length by pressing STR/WT key B, while “F” is flashing. Hold for rapid advance.
Note: Stride length increases in one inch intervals, and the programmable range is from one foot/00 inches to 8 feet/00 inches.
4)When programming is com - plete, display will return to normal operating mode after three seconds, and data will be stored in memory.
5)To reset your programmed stride length, repeat the above procedures.
SETTING YOUR WEIGHT:
1)Slide MODE switch D to CAL position.
2)Press STR/WT key B. Upper display shows default weight L120 (120 pounds), with the
“L” flashing
.
3)Adjust weight according to your measured weight by pressing STR/WT key B, while “L” is flashing. Hold for rapid advance.
Note: While programming, weight increases in one pound intervals, and the pro - grammable range is from 60 pounds to 280 pounds.
4)When programming is com - plete, display will return to normal operating mode after three seconds, and data will be stored in memory.
5)To reset your programmed weight, repeat the above pro - cedures.
USING YOUR
FREESTYLE® DIGITAL
PEDOMETER
After programming is complete, you are now ready to use your FreeStyle® digital pedometer.
READING THE DUAL
DISPLAYS:
The display window is divided into two rows, indicated as main display and upper display. Each display provides a specific func - tion, indicated below:
1)Slide MODE switch D to one of four corresponding positions indicated on the left side of the display window. Descriptions of each of the four positions are offered below:
