•  step: STEP mode shows your step count  

since last reset, up to 100,000 steps. 

•  mi: DISTANCE mode shows distance  

walked or jogged since last reset.

•  kcal: CALORIE mode shows calories  

burned through step activity  

since last reset.

•  AM/PM: CLOCK mode shows time  

of day.

•  ACTIVITY TIMER MODE shows total  

activity time in minutes and seconds since last reset. The timer  

runs automatically whenever steps are being recorded.

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". 

Setting Your Weight: Repeatedly press the red 

MODE button until “kcal” appears. Press the blue 

SET button once to enter setting mode, then press 

and hold the blue SET button to increase weight  

(in pounds). Press the red MODE button to exit 

setting mode. 

Note: Pressing the white RESET button resets 

weight to 120 lbs.

Setting the Clock: Repeatedly press the red MODE 

button until “AM” or “PM” appears. Press the 

white RESET button. The dash will stop flashing. 

Press and hold down the red MODE button until 

the correct hour is displayed; release button. Press 

and hold down the blue SET button until the correct 

minutes are displayed; release button. Press the 

white RESET button to exit setting mode. The dash 

will begin flashing. The clock is now set.

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 adjustment, 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 the metal 

clip. Finally, clasp the waistband of your clothing  

with the metal 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, calories burned, and activity time. 

Repeatedly press the red MODE button to cycle 

through the pedometer modes: 

STEP → DISTANCE → CALORIE → CLOCK → 

ACTIVITY TIMER → STEP

Most people prefer to reset step, distance, and 

calorie counts daily. To reset: From STEP, DISTANCE, 

or CALORIE 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
