Robic M-477 Instructions and Operating Guide
Thank you for buying the Robic M-477 pedometer. Please read these instructions carefully before using it to ensure safe and correct use. Do not expose your pedometer to direct sunlight, rain, dust, severe shock, humidity or immerse it in water. As a sensitive instrument, the M-477 may cease to operate if dropped onto the floor. Make certain it is securely attached to your clothing. To open the cover, hold the M-477 in one hand with the clip towards your palm and gently use the thumb of your other hand to open the case using the lip at the top of the lid.
The M-477 has five (5) separate modes of operation:
STEP COUNTER: Counts up to 100,000 steps taken and always appears on the upper row of the display.
These functions are sequentially displayed in the lower row by pressing MODE: DISTANCE-ÆCALORYÆ TIMERÆ FAT/BMI (Body Mass Index). Each function is indicated with the phrase shown below the bottom row of the display.
DISTANCE: Measures how far you have traveled up to 100 miles.
“CALORY”: Calculates how many calories you have expended.
TIMER: Automatically times the hours and minutes you have spent walking.
BODY MASS INDEX: Estimates the Body Mass and Body Fat composition based on Age, Gender, Height and Weight.
There are four (4) pushbuttons which activate all operations in your pedometer: MODE (far left) changes the function shown in the lower row of the display.
SET START (second from left) begins and ends the setting procedure for entering stride length, weight and other factors for measurement.
▲RESET: (second from right) increases the value of a factor being entered and Resets all pedometer functions back to zero.
▼: (far right) decreases the value of a factor being entered.
For the most accurate results, the M-477 must be Horizontal and Perpendicular to the ground, straight and true, not angled or dangling from your clothing. If the pedometer is not straight and true, you will not receive accurate results. Factors which may result in an inaccurate step count include shuffling, walking uphill or down and walking at an inconsistent pace. Position the Pedometer by securely attaching it at waist level to your belt or to the top of your pants or shorts, on the front of your clothing close to the crease line of your pants (not at your side). The case must be closed at all times, opened only to view results. A good way to check if your pedometer is positioned correctly is simply take 50 or 100 steps, counting them to yourself. Now, check the step count value on your pedometer. If the reading varies somewhat, please make sure your wearing the pedometer is positioned correctly.
