Accusplit Alliance 1540 Operating Instructions

SETTING UP YOUR PEDOMETER 

To record your distance and calories accurately, you will 

need to set your stride length.

CHOOSING A MEASUREMENT SYSTEM

This unit is initially set to use English measurement units 

(Miles). To change the unit back and forth between English 

and Metric units (Kilometers). press the yellow RESET 

button for 5 seconds.

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. This is your stride length. 

Example: If you walk 22 feet, your stride length is 2.2 feet.

Setting Your Stride Length:

 Press the black MODE button 

until the arrow on top right hand side of display points to 

“DIST” (distance). Press the gray SET button for at least 

two seconds to enter setting mode. Display will shift to show 

stride. Press and hold down the gray SET button to increase 

stride length. Press and hold the yellow RESET button to 

decrease stride length. Press the black MODE button to exit 

setting mode.  

(For example, “F 1.95” means stride is set to 1.95 feet.) 

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. 

Attaching the Leash: 

Attach the pedometer to the leash by looping 

the leash around the pedometer belt clip. Next, clasp the waistband 

of your clothing with the attached 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.
