SETTING UP YOUR PEDOMETER
To record your distance and calories accurately, you will need to set your stride length and body weight.
Finding Your Stride Length (1740, 1790 only): 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, and multiply the decimal portion by 12 to find your stride length in feet and inches. Example: If you walk 23 feet in 10 steps, your stride length is 2.3 feet. Multiply
0.3 x 12 = 4. Your stride length is 2 feet, 4 inches.
Setting Your Stride Length (1740, 1790 only): Repeatedly press the red MODE button until “mi” appears. Press the blue SET button once to enter setting mode. Display will shift to show stride, in feet and inches. Press and hold down the blue SET button to increase stride length. Press the red MODE button to exit setting mode.
Note: Pressing the white RESET button resets stride length to 2' 0".
Setting Your Weight (1790 only): Repeatedly press the red MODE button until “kcal” appears. Press the blue SET button once to enter setting mode, then press and hold the blue SET button to increase weight (in pounds). Press the red MODE button to exit setting mode.
Note: Pressing the white RESET button resets weight to 120 lbs.
Setting the Clock (1790 only): Repeatedly press the red MODE button until “AM” or “PM” appears. Press the white RESET button. The dash will stop flashing. Press and hold down the red MODE button until the correct hour is displayed; release button. Press and hold down the blue SET button until the correct minutes are displayed; release button. Press the white RESET button to exit setting mode. The dash will begin flashing. The clock is now set.
Adjusting your Pedometer’s Measurement Sensitivity AE1700 pedometers are highly accurate step counters. However, some walkers may find that

their step counts tend to be a bit too high, or too low. All AE1700 models come with a sensitivity adjust- ment, to help account for individual differences. The adjustment switch has three positions: “+,”
Adjustment Procedure: Take 100 steps, then check STEPS display to see how many steps were actually counted. Repeat once to make sure results are about the same. If the pedometer counts fewer steps than you actually walked, slide the sensitivity adjustment towards the “+” icon. This will increase recorded steps by about 10%. If the pedometer counts more steps than you actually walked, slide the sensitivity adjustment towards the
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 through the pedometer leash slot. Next, loop the leash through the metal clip. Finally, clasp the waistband of your clothing with the metal 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.
VIEWING YOUR RESULTS
Once you put on your pedometer with the cover closed, it will automatically begin to record your steps, distance (1740, 1790 only), calories burned (1790 only), and activity time. Repeatedly press the red MODE button to cycle through the pedometer modes:
STEP → DISTANCE → CALORIE → CLOCK → ACTIVITY TIMER → STEP
RESETTING YOUR PEDOMETER
Most people prefer to reset step, distance, and calorie counts daily. To reset: From STEP, DISTANCE, or CALORIE mode, press and hold the white RESET button for at least 2 seconds.
REPLACING THE BATTERY
When the display starts to dim or goes blank, it is time to replace the battery. Your pedometer uses one Type L1142 (LR43) 1.5 volt silver oxide battery. To replace:
1.Insert a coin into the slot on the front of the case, and twist counterclockwise to loosen the battery door.
2.Remove battery door and take out the old battery. Replace it with a new battery. The battery’s positive (+) terminal should be FACE UP while you put it into the pedometer.
3.Put the battery door back on and twist the coin clockwise to tighten.
