A stride length and weight must be entered so Distance and Calories can be calculated. If you seek only to count steps, no values need to be input. Determine your Stride length in inches, walk or run a known distance and divide by the number of steps taken. Always measure heel to heel or toe to toe. For example, if it takes 10 steps to cross a 25 foot room, the stride length is 2.5 feet. 2.5 feet equals 30 inches as there are 12 inches in a foot. You can input from 10 to 60 inches as your stride length. Enter Stride Length by pressing MODE until DISTANCE appears. Then, press SET and current stride length in inches “INCH” appears flashing. Press and hold UP/RESET to increase the value. Press SET again and the stride length disappears but is entered. Note: The M417 will return to DISTANCE if no pusher is pressed within 5 seconds after beginning SET process.
Enter Weight by pressing MODE until “CALORY” appears below the lower row and “KCAL” appears to the right of the lower row. Press SET and current weight in pounds “LBS” appears flashing. Press and hold UP/RESET to increase the value. The range is 40 to 350 pounds. Press SET again to input the Weight.
After you have entered your stride length and weight, you may now attach the M417 to your clothing and begin using its functions as noted. Use MODE to move from
