OPTIONAL STRIDE LENGTH MEASUREMENT
This pedometer contains a feature to calculate your walking stride, if you would like to adjust it, please follow these instructions.
How to measure your stride length
- Walk 10 steps with your normal stride as illustrated below.
- Measure the distance from START to END in inches.
- Calculate your stride length by dividing the total distance by 10.
Example:
- Total distance = 320”
- 320 ÷ 10 = 32 inches (2 feet 8 inches)
Conversion Chart
- 12 inches = 1 foot
- 24 inches = 2 feet
- 36 inches = 3 feet
- 48 inches = 4 feet
SETTINGS
The unit comes with the battery installed. When you use the unit for the first time, follow the steps below. For setting range details refer to “SPECIFICATIONS”.
NOTE:
If the initial settings are not correct, the measurement results may not be accurate.
USING THE UNIT
The unit accurately counts in a pocket, bag or anywhere you want to put it. The unit may be placed in the upper front pocket of your clothing, in the front pocket of your pants, in a bag, or attached to your belt or pants.
Simply bring the unit with you wherever you go.
NOTE:
In order to avoid counting steps that are not part of a walk, the unit does not display the step count for the first 4 seconds of walking. If you continue walking for more than 4 seconds, it displays the step count for the first 4 seconds and then continues to count.
The unit may not count steps correctly in the following conditions:
1. The unit moves irregularly.
- When the unit is placed in a bag and the bag moves irregularly.
- When the unit swings from your belt, the top of your pants or a bag.
2. Walking at an inconsistent pace.
- When you shuffle or wear sandals.
- Starting and stopping or other forms of inconsistent walking.
3. Up and down movement.
- Standing up and/or sitting down movement.
- Playing sports other than walking.
- Ascending or descending movement on stairs or on a steep slope.
4. Vibrations from a moving vehicle.
- Such as riding a bicycle, automobile, train or bus.
5. Walking extremely slowly.
READING THE CURRENT DISPLAY
Calories
By measuring the intensity of your activity, the unit can calculate the amount of calories burned.
Aerobic steps
Aerobic steps are the physical exercise that helps us stay healthy. Aerobic steps are counted separately when walking more than 60 steps per minute and more than 10 minutes successively. If a rest of less than 1 minute is taken after a continuous walk of more than 10 minutes, this will
be regarded as part of “a continuous walk”.

NOTE:
The time must be correctly set in the unit.
NOTE:
If no button is pressed for more than 1 minute, the display will return to the current day’s data.
