Accusplit AE1740 Merkblatt

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%.

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 either the 

plastic or metal clip, then clasp the waistband of 

your clothing with the 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.

Once you put on your pedometer with the cover 

closed, it will automatically begin to record your 

steps, distance, and activity time. Repeatedly 

press the red MODE button to cycle through the 

pedometer modes: 

STEP → DISTANCE → ACTIVITY TIMER → STEP

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.

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.

Congratulations on taking the first step to wellness
