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 10
th
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.
Setting Your Stride Length
:
Press the black MODE button
until the arrow on top right hand side of display points to
“DIST” (distance). Press the gray SET button for at least
two seconds to enter setting mode. Display will shift to show
stride. Press and hold down the gray SET button to increase
stride length. Press and hold the yellow RESET button to
decrease stride length. Press the black MODE button to exit
setting mode.
(For example, “F 1.95” means stride is set to 1.95 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.
