CALCULATING STRIDE LENGTH

In order to display accurate DISTANCE traveled, you need to measure and input your stride length in inches.

How to calculate your Stride Length:

To properly calculate your stride length, take 10 steps at a normal pace. Once completed, use a measuring device to measure the distance you traveled in feet, and divide by 10 (the number of steps you had taken). Convert this number into inches.

Example:

If you walked a distance of 15 feet by taking only 10 steps, the stride length is 1 12 feet = 18 inches.

Formula:

$$ \frac {\text {distance traveled (in feet)}}{# \text {of steps taken}} = \text {stride length (in feet)} $$

Conversion:

1 foot = 12 inches

Please write your stride length here for future reference:

Note: To start, please install the battery. For more information, refer to the INSTALLING THE BATTERY section of this manual.
