TREKKING COUNTER MODE
The Trekking Counter counts how many steps you
take and elapsed time while walking. After you input
the length of your stride, it also automatically
calculates and displays the distance you have
covered.
Important!
•The Trekking Counter cannot count the number of
steps you take if the watch is on your wrist. Be
sure to wear the watch on your waist as described
in “USING THE BAND CLIP”.
•Note that the accuracy of data measured by the
Trekking Counter can be affected when you are
walking on sand or other soft ground, on a steep
upgrade, or on a steep downgrade.
• To improve the accuracy of measured data, be sure to turn off the Trekking Counter
whenever you are taking a break or stop walking for any other reason.
• Be sure to take care not to drop the watch while walking.
