Robic M-477 User Manual

 Robic M-477 Instructions and Operating Guide 

 
Thank you for buying the Robic M-477 pedometer.  Please read these instructions 
carefully before using it to ensure safe and correct use.  Do not expose your pedometer to 
direct sunlight, rain, dust, severe shock, humidity or immerse it in water.  As a sensitive 
instrument, the M-477 may cease to operate if dropped onto the floor.  Make certain it is 
securely attached to your clothing. To open the cover, hold the M-477 in one hand with 
the clip towards your palm and gently use the thumb of your other hand to open the case 
using the lip at the top of the lid.   
 
The M-477 has five (5) separate modes of operation: 
 
STEP COUNTER: Counts up to 100,000 steps taken and always appears on the upper 
row of the display. 
 
These functions are sequentially displayed in the lower row by pressing MODE: 
DISTANCE-Æ CALORYÆ TIMERÆ FAT/BMI (Body Mass Index).  Each function is 
indicated with the phrase shown below the bottom row of the display. 
 
DISTANCE: Measures how far you have traveled up to 100 miles. 
“CALORY”: Calculates how many calories you have expended. 
TIMER:  Automatically times the hours and minutes you have spent walking. 
BODY MASS INDEX:  Estimates the Body Mass and Body Fat composition based on 
Age, Gender, Height and Weight. 
 
There are four (4) pushbuttons which activate all operations in your pedometer: 
MODE (far left) changes the function shown in the lower row of the display. 
SET START (second from left) begins and ends the setting procedure for entering stride 
length, weight and other factors for measurement. 
▲ RESET: (second from right) increases the value of a factor being entered and Resets 
all pedometer functions back to zero. 
▼: (far right) decreases the value of a factor being entered. 
 
For the most accurate results, the M-477 must be Horizontal and Perpendicular to the 
ground, straight and true, not angled or dangling from your clothing.  If the pedometer is 
not straight and true, you will not receive accurate results.  Factors which may result in an 
inaccurate step count include shuffling, walking uphill or down and walking at an 
inconsistent pace.  Position the Pedometer by securely attaching it at waist level to your 
belt or to the top of your pants or shorts, on the front of your clothing close to the crease 
line of your pants (not at your side).  The case must be closed at all times, opened only to 
view results.  A good way to check if your pedometer is positioned correctly is simply 
take 50 or 100 steps, counting them to yourself.  Now, check the step count value on your 
pedometer.  If the reading varies somewhat, please make sure your wearing the 
pedometer is positioned correctly.
