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).

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.
