Accusplit Pedometer AL1540 User Manual

							
SETTING UP YOUR PEDOMETER To record your distance and calories accurately, you will need to set your stride length.
CHOOSING A MEASUREMENT SYSTEMThis unit is initially set to use English measurement units (Miles). To change the unit back and forth between English and Metric units (Kilometers). press the yellow RESET button for 5 seconds.
Finding Your Stride Length: Your stride length is the length of one of your steps, measured from “toe to toe.” To measure, walk 10 steps with your normal stride and 
measure the TOTAL DISTANCE from the toe of your starting step to the toe of your 10th step (see diagram below). Divide the TOTAL DISTANCE by 10. This is your stride length. Example: If you walk 22 feet, your stride length is 2.2 feet.
Setting Your Stride Length: Press the black MODE button until the arrow on top right hand side of display points to “DIST” (distance). Press the gray SET button for at least two seconds to enter setting mode. Display will shift to show stride. Press and hold down the gray SET button to increase stride length. Press and hold the yellow RESET button to decrease stride length. Press the black MODE button to exit setting mode.  (For example, “F 1.95” means stride is set to 1.95 feet.) 
WEARING YOUR PEDOMETERWhile gently holding the belt clip open, slide the pedometer onto your belt or the top edge of your pants or skirt. It should fit snugly and level, above one knee. Note: The pedometer should be as vertical as possible. Walkers with larger stomachs may find it helpful to wear the pedometer farther back on the body, toward one hip. The cover must be closed for the pedometer to work. To avoid losing or dropping your pedometer, use the included leash and clip to fasten the pedometer securely to your clothing. 
Attaching the Leash: Attach the pedometer to the leash by looping the leash around the pedometer belt clip. Next, clasp the waistband of your clothing with the attached clip. You can also use a safety pin to fasten the leash to your clothing, loop the leash through your belt or belt loop, or use a badge holder.

AUTO MOVEMENT SENSOR
1.  To filter out random movements, the unit remains in standby  
  mode until 5 continuous steps are registered. Only then are the  
  5 steps calculated in, and an Active indicator “▲” appears on  
  the upper left of display.
2.  When regular walk/run movement stops, after 2 seconds the 
 
  timer pauses and the unit switches to standby status (Active  
  indicator “
▲” disappears).  
						

							
RESETTING YOUR PEDOMETERMost people prefer to reset step counts daily. To reset: When displaying STEPs or DISTANCE, press yellow RESET button for two seconds to reset STEPs and DISTANCE to zero.

REPLACING THE BATTERYWhen the display starts to dim or goes blank, it is time to replace the battery. Your pedometer uses one Type LR44 1.5 volt Alkaline battery. To replace:
1. Insert a coin into the slot on the bottom of the case, and twist  
  counterclockwise to loosen the case front. Lift case front away.
2.  Using a pen or other thin object, push battery sideways out of 
 
  its holder. Replace it with a new battery. The battery’s positive  
  (+) terminal should be FACE UP while you put it into the  
  pedometer.
3.  Align case front over the pedometer and press gently to snap 
 
  cover back into place, starting with top.
EXCLUSIVE DISTANCE ACCURACY TIP
Maximize the accuracy of your distance measurement by: 
• Walking a measured 0.5 or 1.0 mile/km. (We recommend 
 
  that you use a 1⁄4-mile/400 meter track like those found at  
  a high school). 
•  Compare the DISTANCE recorded to the measured 
 
  distance. If the pedometer shows you walked LESS than 
 
  you actually did, reset your STRIDE LENGTH to a longer 
 
  setting. If the pedometer shows you walked MORE than you 
 
  actually did, reset the STRIDE LENGTH to a shorter setting.  • 
RESET display to zero.
•  Walk the track again to test the adjustment, and re-adjust 
 
  accordingly. 
•  Once adjusted, DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE ELSE TO CHANGE 
 
  THE SETTING, because the Activity Pedometer is now set for 
 
  your style. 
•  You are now ready to walk any route, change that route freely 
 
  and still get an accurate measurement of distance for your 
 
  fitness or recreation program.
