SETTING UP YOUR PEDOMETER
To record your distance and calories accurately,
you will need to set your stride length and body
weight.
Finding Your Stride Length:
Your 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 TOTAL DISTANCE
from the toe of your starting step to the toe of your
10
th
step (see diagram below). Divide the TOTAL
DISTANCE by 10, and multiply the decimal portion
by 12 to find your stride length in feet and inches.
Example: If you walk 23 feet in 10 steps, your
stride length is 2.3 feet. Multiply 0.3 x 12 = 4. Your
stride length is 2 feet, 4 inches.
Setting Your Stride Length:
Repeatedly press
the red MODE button until “mi” appears. Press
the blue SET button once to enter setting mode.
Display will shift to show stride, in feet and
inches. Press and hold down the blue SET button
to increase stride length. Press the red MODE
button to exit setting mode.
Note:
Pressing the white RESET button resets
stride length to 2' 0".

Adjusting your Pedometer’s Measurement
Sensitivity
AE1700 pedometers are highly
accurate step counters. However, some walkers
may find that their step counts tend to be a bit
too high, or too low. All AE1700 models come
with a sensitivity adjust-ment, to help account
for individual differences. The adjustment switch
has three positions: “+,” “-,” and center. The
adjustment switch is located on the bottom of the
pedometer, on the right-hand side when looking
from the front.
Adjustment Procedure:
Take 100 steps, then
check STEPS display to see how many steps
were actually counted. Repeat once to make
sure results are about the same. If the pedometer
counts fewer steps than you actually walked,
slide the sensitivity adjustment towards the “+”
icon. This will increase recorded steps by about
10%. If the pedometer counts more steps than you
actually walked, slide the sensitivity adjustment
towards the “-” icon. This will decrease recorded
steps by about 10%.
WEARING YOUR PEDOMETER
While gently holding the belt clip open, slide the
pedometer onto your belt or the top edge of your
pants or skirt. It should fit snugly and level, above
one knee.
Note:
The pedometer should be as vertical as
possible. Walkers with larger stomachs may find it
helpful to wear the pedometer farther back on the
body, toward one hip.
The cover must be closed for
the pedometer to work.
To avoid losing or dropping
your pedometer, use the included leash and clip to
fasten the pedometer securely to your clothing.
Attaching the Leash:
Attach the pedometer to the
leash by looping the leash through the pedometer
leash slot. Next, loop the leash through the metal
clip. Finally, clasp the waistband of your clothing
with the metal clip. You can also use a safety pin
to fasten the leash to your clothing, loop the leash
through your belt or belt loop, or use a badge holder.

RESETTING YOUR PEDOMETER
Most people prefer to reset step and distance
counts daily. To reset: From STEP or DISTANCE
mode, press and hold the white 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 L1142 (LR43) 1.5 volt silver oxide battery.
To replace:
1. Insert a coin into the slot on the front of the
case, and twist counterclockwise to loosen
the battery door.
2. Remove battery door and take out the old
battery. Replace it with a new battery. The
battery’s positive (+) terminal should be
FACE UP while you put it into the pedometer.
3. Put the battery door back on and twist the
coin clockwise to tighten.
