About the Challenge & Pedometers
How to wear your pedometer: Place the pedometer on the waistband of your clothing or belt. Position it close to the midline of your thigh in an upright position. It should fit snug to your body and not hang loose. The pedometer needs s to be completely closed to function properly.
How to set the step counter: Press the MODE button until STEP appears to the right. Press and hold the RESET button until a zero appears; you are now ready to begin walking. Reset the pedometer at the end of each day.
Overall Goal: We are hoping at each participant will aim to log 10,000 steps a day, however any and all efforts at increasing your daily physical exertion will be applauded by me.
Electronic Lock Code
By popular demand, your new pedometer has a feature that will allow for NO accidental erasure of recorded data until you are ready. By placing it in the LOCK Mode – no one can reset the data until the pedometer is unlocked.
The LOCK CODE feature must be approached cautiously because once programmed, the only way to over ride the security feature is to remove the battery or you can try to press ALL 3 buttons simultaneously and hold them for 3 to 5 seconds. This will ‘re-boot’ your pedometer and reset the Lock code to factory default of ‘no locking code’.
Walk4Life recommends that if this feature is not pertinent to your program, you may want to spend a few moments with each pedometer and establish a ‘standard’ code so that if locked – everyone can have the same unlock code. Example: 11111 for all units will allow for easy access in case of accidental locking.
The steps for programming are as follows:
- Push the MODE button until you are in the step mode.
- TO LOCK Press and quickly release the SET button. The display will show five flashing hyphens (- – - – -). To enter a lock code, any combination of numbers 1, 2, and 3 can be used. To enter a code number, the MODE button will enter the number 1, the SET button number 2, and the RESET button number 3. Thus, if the buttons are pushed in the following order: MODE, SET, RESET, MODE, SET, the combination will be 12312. Once 5 numbers are entered (within 10 seconds), the letter “L” will display in the lower left-hand corner of the display indicating that the pedometer is locked and cannot be reset. (Note: Please record and store locking code in a secure place.)
- TO UNLOCK Press and quickly release the SET button. The display will show five hyphens. Enter the combination that was entered to lock the pedometer. The display will flash and the “L” in the lower left-hand corner of the display will disappear. The pedometer can now be reset.
CAUTION: The only way to over ride the security feature for an unknown code is to remove the battery or you can try to press ALL 3 buttons simultaneously and hold them for 3 to 5 seconds. This will ‘re-boot’ your pedometer and reset the Lock code to factory default of ‘no locking code’.
