AFFIXING THE PEDOMETER TO YOUR CLOTHING
• Clip the pedometer securely to your belt or the waistband of your slacks, skirt, training pants, etc.
• Take care that you hook the clip so your belt or waistband enters the clip as far as it will go. Improper attachment
of the pedometer or wearing it an angle can cause mistakes in the number of step count.
• Take care that you do not accidentally press the RESET button while you are attaching or removing the
pedometer. Accidentally pressing the RESET button will reset the number of steps to “0”.
• Make sure that the two panels of the pedometer are securely closed while you are using it.
Calorie Screen
• A sticker is affixed to the glass of the pedometer when you purchase it. Be sure to remove the sticker before
using the pedometer.
• Depending on the model of your pedometer, its configuration may differ somewhat from that shown in the
illustration.
HOW THE PEDOMETER WORKS
• This pedometer is intended for use while walking during normal daily life and during light jogging.
• As you walk or jog across a level surface, the pedometer detects the impact acceleration generated when your
foot hits the ground.
• If you hold the pedometer vertically and shake it up and down, you should be able to hear a rattling sound. This is
the sound of the pendulum inside the pedometer that is used for detecting movement. This sound indicates that
the pedometer is operating normally.
• Note that the pedometer cannot count steps correctly under the conditions described below. Avoid these
conditions whenever using the pedometer.
* Irregular walking
• Walking where it is crowded
• Walking in sandals
• Shuffling your feet
* Any activity other than walking or jogging
• Any activity that requires sudden standing or sitting
• Jumping, or extreme activities or sports
• Climbing or descending stairs, or a steep slope
• Vibration while riding on a car, train, bus, etc.
* Never start on any exercise program without consulting your physician, especially if you are currently under the
care of a physician, or if you have any past history of heart problems.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Replace the battery whenever the figures on the display become dim and difficult to read.
Replacing the Battery
1. Insert a coin or similar object into the slot on the bottom of the pedometer.
2. Move the coin up and down to remove the cover from the front panel.
3. Remove the old battery.
4. Load a new battery so its positive (+) side is facing up (so you can see it ).
• Loading the battery improperly can cause it to leak and damage the interior of the pedometer.
5. Replace the cover on the front panel.
• Insert the tabs of the cover into the slots, and then press the cover until it snaps securely in place.
• Check to make sure that the front panel cover is securely and properly in place.
6. Press the RESET button and MODE button at the same time.
7. Release the buttons.
• This causes “88888” to appear for about two second, and then the number of step screen appears.
• At this time the number of steps, distance, and calorie screens will all be “0”.
• The stride length, weight, and current time settings are also reset to their initial defaults at this time. Perform
the required procedures to configure the stride length, weight, and current time settings.

Battery Precautions
• Keep batteries out of the reach of small children. If a battery is accidentally swallowed, contact your physician
immediately.
• Be sure to load the battery with its positive (+) side facing upwards (so you can see it ).
• Never charge the battery that comes with the pedometer.
• Should the battery ever leak inside the pedometer, wipe out the fluid with a cloth, taking care not to let any get
onto your skin.
• Replace the battery at least once a year, even if the current battery is working properly.
• The battery that comes with the pedometer loses some of its power during transport and storage.
