Frequently Asked Questions - HJ-323U OMRON

How do I set the stride length on my Omron HJ-323U pedometer?

Measure your stride by walking 10 steps, divide total distance by 10, then set via the SET button under stride length settings. Range: 12" to 48" (1" increments).

How do I replace the battery?

Loosen the screw on the battery cover, remove cover, take out old battery with a toothpick, insert new CR2032 with (+) side up, replace cover and tighten screw. Do not use metal tweezers.

Why is the low battery indicator blinking or on continuously?

Blinking means battery is low; continuous means battery is exhausted. Replace with a new CR2032 battery immediately. The unit stops measuring when the indicator stays on.

How do I transfer data to my computer?

Visit www.omronfitness.com for initial setup, then connect the pedometer via USB cable. Ensure no cell phone is nearby during transfer. Do not leave plugged in for extended periods.

Why is my pedometer not counting steps?

Possible causes: unit placed irregularly (e.g., swinging bag, inconsistent pace, up/down movement, vibration from vehicle, or walking too slowly). Also ensure settings are correct. The unit delays display for first 4 seconds.

What does 'aerobic steps' mean?

Aerobic steps count steps taken at a pace of 60 steps per minute or more for 10 consecutive minutes (rests under 1 minute count as continuous). This indicates moderate-to-vigorous activity.

How do I reset all settings and delete all data?

Press and hold SET until "lb" or "kg" flashes, then press and hold MODE and ▼ simultaneously. "Clr" appears, then settings and memory are deleted. Re-enter date, time, weight, height, and stride length to continue.

Can I wear the pedometer on my hip or in a pocket?

Yes, the pedometer counts accurately in a pocket, bag, on a belt, or hanging from the neck. For best results, place it in an upper front pocket or attach to clothing. Avoid irregular movements.

What is the battery saving mode?

After 5 minutes of no button press, the display turns off automatically to save battery, but the unit continues counting steps. Press any button to reactivate the display.

How do I clean the pedometer?

Clean with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive or volatile cleaners. Do not immerse in water or touch with wet hands. The unit is not waterproof.

Example:

Total distance = 320"

320 ÷ 10 = 32 inches (2 feet 8 inches)

Conversion Chart

12 inches = 1 foot

24 inches = 2 feet

36 inches = 3 feet

48 inches = 4 feet
