Operating Instructions PEDOMETER AL1590M12

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.
To view the current week total data, press the gray WK-DAY
button from any display mode. The total count so far for the
current week is displayed. The word “WEEK” will appear in the
upper right band corner of the display. Press the gray WK-DAY
button again to return to today’s data. Or, press the black MODE
button to cycle through the current week’s results.
AUTO MOVEMENT SENSOR
1. To lter 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 PEDOMETER
Auto Zero Reset: The daily count of steps, distance, calories,
and activity time resets each night automatically at 2:00 AM.
However, the records will remain on the display until you have
taken your rst ve steps (so that you can manually record them
if desired). At 2:00 AM on Sunday, the previous week’s records
will also be reset to zero, but they remain on the display until
you’ve taken your rst ve steps of the week. At this point, the
current week’s memories will be transferred to the previous
week’s memories.
Manual Zero Reset: You can also manually reset your pedometer
at any time. To reset today’s memories, rst press the gray WK-
DAY button until the unit is in DAY mode. In DAY mode, you will
see only one day of the week at the top of the display. Next,
press and hold the yellow RESET button for at least 2 seconds.
To reset the current week’s memories, rst press the gray WK-
DAY button until the word “WEEK” appears in the upper right
hand corner of the display. Next, press and hold the yellow
RESET button for at least 2 seconds.
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.
• 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
tness or recreation program.
