							SETTING UP YOUR PEDOMETER 
T o record your distance and calories 
accuratel y, you will need to set your stride 
length and body weight. 
CHOOSING A MEASUREMENT SYSTEM 
This unit is initially set to use English 
measurement units (Miles).  T o change the unit 
back and forth between English and Metric 
units (Kilometers), press the yellow RESE T 
button for 5 seconds. 
Finding  Your Stride Length:  Y our 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  T OT AL DIST ANCE from the   
toe of your starting step to the toe of your  
10
th step (see diagram below). Divide the 
T OT AL DIST ANCE 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 arrow at the top   
of display points to “DIST .” Press the gray SET 
button once to enter setting mode. Display 
will shift to show stride (for example, “F 1.95” 
means stride is set to 1.95 feet). Press the gray 
SET  button to increase stride length. Press the 
yellow RESE T button to decrease stride length. 
Press the black MODE button to exit setting 
mode.

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 STEP LENGTH to a longer setting. If 
 
  the pedometer shows you walked MORE than you actually 
 
  did, reset the STEP 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.   
REPLACING THE BATTERY
When 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.
