• Although the TraiLeader comes set up
with a general profile, you can achieve
much more accurate results by taking
5 minutes to properly set up your own
personal profile.
Have you properly adjusted the pedometer
settings?
• You may want to adjust the sensitivity
or sleep timer to better match your
personal stride characteristics and
schedule.
Do you exhibit drastic variations in your
running/walking pace, or does your pace differ
than the pace used to determine your stride
length?
The TraiLeader works best when you
maintain a relatively steady running/
walking pace. This is not to be confused
with the watch’s ability to determine
whether you are running or walking
which it can do quite effectively. Also,
the your stride lengths should be
measured using the same pace as you
will use when actually exercising.

THE CORRECT ALTITuDE?
All altitude readings are based on measured
atmospheric pressure. The relationship
between pressure and altitude is as follows:
• At higher altitudes there is less, or lower,
atmospheric pressure
• At lower altitudes there is more, or
higher, atmospheric pressure
• Sea level is the benchmark altitude/
pressure in which 29.92 inHG is the
pressure at 0 ft in elevation
• Unfortunately, changes in weather
patterns create high and low pressure
situations, which in turn create skewed
altitude readings
Example: A sunny, high pressure weather
system moves into your area. The
pressure sensor in the TraiLeader senses
this change and measures the increased
pressure. The watch has remained at
the same altitude. Unfortunately, the
pressure sensor is unable to distinguish
between changes in pressure caused by
