SETTING UP YOUR PEDOMETER
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%.
WEARING YOUR PEDOMETER
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.

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.

RESETTING YOUR PEDOMETER
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.
REPLACING THE BATTERY
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.
