Operation Guide PDM-10B/20B
HOW THE PEDOMETER WORKS
• This pedometer is intended for use while walking during normal daily life and during light jogging.
• As you walk or jog across a level surface, the pedometer detects the impact acceleration generated when your
foot hits the ground.
• If you hold the pedometer vertically and shake it up and down, you should be able to hear a rattling sound. This
is the sound of the pendulum inside the pedometer that is used for detecting movement. This sound indicates
that the pedometer is operating normally.
• Note that the pedometer cannot count steps correctly under the conditions described below. Avoid these
conditions whenever using the pedometer.
1. Irregular walking
• Walking where it is crowded
• Walking in sandals
• Shuffling your feet
2. Any activity other than walking or jogging
• Any activity that requires sudden standing or sitting
• Jumping, or extreme activities or sports
• Climbing or descending stairs or a steep slope
• Vibration while riding on a car, train, bus, etc.
* Never start on any exercise program without consulting your physician, especially if you are currently under the
care of a physician, or if you have any past history of heart problems.
