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, or hang it from your neck.
1. 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.
2. Press to read the data.
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 a 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.
