SETTINGS MODE

Walking stride and jogging stride

• The values that flash when being set for the first time are 

reference values calculated from the height that you set. 

You can set the stride based on your own gait and physique to 

increase the accuracy of the distance and pace calculations. 

• To calculate a more accurate stride figure, measure one stride 

(from toe to toe) after walking 10 paces or running.

• 

To calculate distance, the unit automatically detects whether you are walking 

or running and then multiplies the appropriate stride by the number of paces. 

8.  Set your gender (SEX).

Setting range: F (female) or M (male)

9.  Set your age (AGE).

Setting range: 18 to 79 years old

NOTE:

  Update your age every birthday.

10. Set the maximum heart rate (HR MAX).

Setting range: 100 to 240 beats/min

The displayed value is calculated from the age you set based on a 

standard formula:

Maximum heart rate (HR MAX) = 220 - age

* Maximum heart rate is used to calculate the training zones. The 

formula provides an estimate of the heart rate you potentially 

could achieve under maximum physical exertion. Attempting to 

achieve your actual maximum heart rate should ONLY be done 

under the guidance of a trained medical/fitness professional. 

(Refer to “HEART RATE ZONES”.)

11. Settings are complete.
