HOW YOUR ACTIVITY MONITOR WORKS
13
5. My activity monitor deducted some
steps! Why?
Your activity monitor contains a computer chip
that measures the amplitude and frequency of
your movement and determines whether it should
count as a step. If your movement should not
count, the NL-1000 quickly adjusts by deducting a
step or two from your accumulated “score.”
Don’t let this alarm or discourage you; it’s simply
how the activity monitor functions to ensure you
get an accurate count.
6. My activity monitor seems to be reset-
ting randomly each day.
Check and make sure the time is set correctly.
The pedometer resets itself at midnight, so if your
clock is not set correctly, it will reset at an arbi-
trary time of day. If it resets at noon, you’ve
probably switched AM and PM.
7. What can I do if my NL-1000 gets wet?
Like any electronic device, water can ruin your
NL-1000. The best way to try to save a water-
logged device is to get the battery out as quickly
as possible, then let it dry completely before you
try to reinstall a new battery.
8. What can I do if the plastics look
bubbled or warped?
Warped plastics mean the Activity Monitor got
too hot (in a hot car or the clothes dryer, for
example). You need to replace the device.
