GETTING STARTED

INSULATION TAPE

Before using the device, pull out the insulation tape underneath the battery cover protecting the 1 x LR43 size 1.5V battery.

NOTE The unit will not work until the tape is pulled out.

BATTERIES

This product uses 1 x LR43 size 1.5V battery. Should you need to change the batteries,

1.Gently press and pull the battery compartment door.

2.Insert 1 x LR43 size 1.5V battery or equivalent.

3.Replace the battery compartment door.

NOTE Protect the environment by taking exhausted batteries to authorized disposal stations.

CLOCK

Insert a blunt stylus into the HR / + or MIN / - buttons to alter the clock hour and minute values, respectively. The clock is set at 12:00AM by default.

NOTE The unit automatically returns to clock display after 5 seconds if no buttons are pressed.

ADJUSTING THE SETTINGS

DISTANCE

The distance traveled is shown on the bottom line of the LCD display. For greater accuracy it is recommended that a personal stride-length is set.

1.Press DIST until the stride length is viewed on the top line of the LCD display.

mile

2.Insert a blunt stylus into HR / + to increase or MIN / - to decrease stride length (11 to 60 inches or 30 to 150cm). The stride length is set at 20 inches (50cm) by default.

If no changes are made to the Stride function, the top line of the display will automatically return to the clock display after 5 seconds.

WEARING THE PEDOMETER

Attach securely at waist level to your belt, slacks, or training attire and maintain a horizontal position for more accurate results.

USING THE PEDOMETER

COUNTING STEPS TAKEN

The pedometer counts the number of steps taken.

1. Press DIST once to view number of steps.

To return the pedometer display to zero, press RESET in STEP mode.

NOTE To make the unit more or less sensitive to motion, reposition the motion sensitivity slide switch. To determine the proper amount of motion sensitivity, experiment with different settings. See section on ADJUSTING MOTION SENSITIVITY for more information.

NOTE Improper positioning of the pedometer may result in incorrect data collection.

MEASURING DISTANCE

Correctly measuring distance depends on accurately setting the average length of an individual stride (stride length) and properly setting an internal motion-sensitivity device.

1.Press DIST until the distance traveled is viewed on the LCD display.

To return the distance counter to zero, press RESET in DISTANCE display mode.

Total Distance = steps taken x average step length

NOTE Individual stride-length varies. Input an appropriate length for an average stride. To determine length of stride walk 10 paces and divide distance traveled by 10.

ADJUSTING MOTION SENSITIVITY

Follow these important procedures below to adjust Pedometer -/+ Motion Sensitivity Switch and ensure accurate readings:

1. Set switch to the center.

2. Reset step counter to zero.

3. Walk at a normal pace; take at least 100 steps to provide more accurate motion sensitivity.

If unit shows more	If unit shows fewer
steps than actual	steps than actual
number of steps taken,	number of steps taken,
slide switch toward - .	slide switch toward + .

4. Adjust sensitivity switch if walking speed changes. Repeat steps 2-5 until accurate readings is obtained.

The following conditions may cause incorrect reading of steps taken:

1.Uneven walking pace, such as walking in crowded areas or on uneven floor.

2.Frequent up and down movements, such as standing up and/or sitting down; running, jumping, or ascending/descending stairs or steep slopes.

SAFETY AND CARE

Clean the unit with a slightly damp cloth and mild detergent.
