SETTING UP YOUR PEDOMETER

To record your distance and calories accurately, you will need to set your stride length.

CHOOSING A MEASUREMENT SYSTEM

This unit is initially set to use English measurement units (Miles). To change the unit back and forth between English and Metric units (Kilometers). press the yellow RESET button for 5 seconds.

Finding Your Stride Length: Your stride length is the length of one of your steps, measured from “toe to toe.” To measure, walk 10 steps with your normal stride and measure the TOTAL DISTANCE from the toe of your starting step to the toe of your 10th step (see diagram below). Divide the TOTAL DISTANCE by 10. This is your stride length. Example: If you walk 22 feet, your stride length is 2.2 feet.

WEARING YOUR PEDOMETER

While gently holding the belt clip open, slide the pedometer onto your belt or the top edge of your pants or skirt. It should fit snugly and level, above one knee.

Note: The pedometer should be as vertical as possible. Walkers with larger stomachs may find it helpful to wear the pedometer farther back on the body, toward one hip.

The cover must be closed for the pedometer to work. To avoid losing or dropping your pedometer, use the included leash and clip to fasten the pedometer securely to your clothing.

Attaching the Leash: Attach the pedometer to the leash by looping the leash around the pedometer belt clip. Next, clasp the waistband of your clothing with the attached clip. You can also use a safety pin to fasten the leash to your clothing, loop the leash through your belt or belt loop, or use a badge holder.

First, loop the pedometer clip

Next, loop the metal clip, then clasp clothing

Or, loop a belt or belt loop

Or, loop a badge holder, then put into pocket

(Badge holder not included)
