HOW TO USE YOUR PEDOMETER
HOW TO RESET YOUR PEDOMETER
Press the RESET button for 3 seconds and release (All LCDisplay segments will be ON and then OFF). Press the RESET button again to turn it ON.
WHAT IF MY PEDOMETER SEEMS INACCURATE?
For best results, clip the pedometer on your waistband, 2-4 inches either side of your hop bone. It is important to insure that the case is positioned straight up and down. If the pedometer is tilted, your step count may be under-recorded because the pedometer's pendulum function is not free to swing properly.
WHAT ACTIVITIES DOES THE PEDOMETER NOT REGISTER?
Pedometers will not register some activities. However, our creative team at EDIS Computers has developed an equivalency program so you can log in other fitness and recreational activities like biking, swimming or golf. This program will automatically calculate the number of steps and move you along the map.
HOW MANY STEPS IN A KM?
The Steps Out program considers an average step to be 0.762 meters (this equals a 2.5 foot stride) Therefore, 1 kilometer = 1,320 Steps.
If you have longer legs and/or a wider gait, you will actually be making more distance than the Step Update program shows. If you have shorter legs and/or a narrower gait, you will actually be making less distance than the Step Update program shows. Either way, don't sweat the distance! The point of Steps Out is to get you walking and promote overall health. It is more important how hard and long you work, not how far you go.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
All pedometers come with a new battery which should last for one year. When the LCDisplay dims, replace the battery with an LR-44 or equivalent.
PEDOMETER WARRANTY
Depending on what pedometer you received - most of the pedometers have a 1 year warranty.
