•  step: STEP mode shows your step count  

since last reset, up to 100,000 steps. 

•  mi: DISTANCE mode (1740, 1790 only)  

shows distance walked or jogged since  

last reset.

•  kcal: CALORIE mode (1790 only) shows  

calories burned through step activity  

since last reset.

•  AM/PM: CLOCK mode (1790 only)  

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 (1740, 1790 only): 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 (1740, 1790 only): 

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 (1790 only): 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 (1790 only): 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 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 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 (1740, 1790 only), calories burned 

(1790 only), 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 

with your purchase of an ACCUSPLIT pedometer. 

It’s easy to set up your new pedometer.
