WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
WARNING: Before starting any exercise program, we strongly suggest that you visit your doctor for a
complete physical and to discuss your exercise plans.
PLEASE READ all information in this instruction manual before using this unit.
CAUTION: The pedometer is not water resistant. DO NOT submerge the pedometer in water or
operate it in unprotected wet conditions.
KEEP the unit out of the reach of children and pets. The unit contains small parts that may be
swallowed.
AVOID exposing the pedometer to extreme conditions or weather.
AVOID rough use or severe impact to the pedometer.
CLEAN the pedometer occasionally with a soft, dry cloth.
STORE the pedometer in a dry place when it is not in use for long periods of time.
NEVER expose the pedometer to strong chemicals such as gasoline, cleaning solvents, acetone,
alcohol, insect repellent, sunscreen, hair spray and other toiletries, as they may damage the unit.
FOR BEST ACCURACY, the pedometer should be worn on the waistband (via the belt clip). If the
pedometer is loosely contained, the unit´s accuracy will be compromised.
NEVER disassemble or modify the unit. Modifications to this unit will VOID THE WARRANTY.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If the unit is not counting steps properly, the following conditions may be the cause:
-
The unit may be incorrectly positioned: For best results, the pedometer should be
positioned perpendicular to the ground.
-
The unit is being moved in an irregular pattern: If the pedometer is placed in a bag and the
bag moves irregularly or if the pedometer is in a position to swing around in an irregular
motion. Similarly, walking up / down stairs, playing sports and ascending steep slopes may
also affect the reading.
-
The user has inconsistent or slow pace / step motion: If the user does not have a fairly
consistent pace / step motion, the pedometer may not detect the movement accurately (i.e.
shuffle feet, walking in a crowd.)
-
The battery may be weak
BATTERY INFORMATION
Signs of a failing / dying battery:
-
A fading or blank display
-
Inaccurate readings
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
The pedometer uses one LR1130 1.5V Alkaline battery.
-
Using a small screwdriver, remove the screw from the battery hatch. Gently remove the
battery hatch from the pedometer.
-
Remove the old LR1130 battery and replace it with a new LR1130 battery. Be sure the battery
is in the correct polarity position- positive (+) side of the battery is visible.
-
Replace the battery hatch carefully; do not over tighten the screw.
