Getting Started:
Setting Up Your Pedometer
Starting your walking program is easy! Use these simple instructions to setup
your pedometer and walk your way to better health.
Pedometer Setup
You can begin using your pedometer after you:
• Pull the clear, protective battery strip from the pedometer, and
• Clip it onto your waist (use the extra safety clip so it doesn’t fall off).
• Your pedometer must be closed in order for it to accurately count your steps.
• When you wake up every morning, remember to reset your steps by holding
down the RESET button.
Additional Features
You can wear your pedometer all day during your walking program—that way,
you’ll track steps, time, and miles throughout your daily routine. And, in
addition to tracking steps, your pedometer offers other features. To learn more,
scroll through these functions by pressing the MODE button.
(And don’t forget to log your daily steps on your tracking form or log onto
www.bluecrossma.com/gowalking and enter your steps into the online
Go Walking log.)
Set the Clock
• Press the MODE button until the time is shown on the display.
• Hold down the SET button until the hour digits blink, and continue
pressing SET to advance to the desired hour.
• Press the MODE button until the minute digits are blinking, then press
SET to advance to the desired minute.
• Press the MODE button until the seconds digits are blinking, then press the
SET button to reset to zero.
• Press the MODE button to complete the setting.
Measure Your Stride
• Measure off a distance of 20 feet.
• Walk the 20 feet at a normal stride, counting the number
of steps.
• Do the math: 20 divided by the number of steps equals
your personal stride.
