Thank you for purchasing an Omron HJ-105 pedometer through Speakwell. We hope these instructions will make setting up and using your pedometer simple and enjoyable.
- Remove pedometer from the packaging.
- Grasp the plastic tab that protrudes from the pedometer casing and pull straight away from the unit. This engages the battery.
- Peel off the protective plastic cover from the display screen.
The pedometer is now activated and ready to set-up with your individual measurements.
The adjustment button (lower left) should be in the center position. Please refer to the pedometer picture on the packaged instructions.
There are 3 buttons on the pedometer marked Set, Memory and Reset.
Set - changes the settings from steps, kilometers walked, calories burned and the clock function. This button also engages the memory function.
Memory - Adjusts the setting for each mode as well as accessing the saved information for the previous 7 days.
Reset - Push and hold for 3 seconds to clear any function for re-setting.
Setting the Clock
*NB this pedometer model has a 24-hour clock feature. It is very important that you set it to the correct time (ie 2 pm will be set at 14:00) as the pedometer re-sets itself every day at 11:59 pm (23:59).
Press and hold the Set button until Set Up shows on the screen and the hour display starts to blink. To change the time, press the Memory button until the correct hour is shown. Press Set again until the minutes start to blink. Press the Memory button until the correct minutes are shown. If you press the Memory button and keep it down, the minutes will increase by 10-minute increments. Press and release the Memory button for one-minute increments.
Setting Your Stride Length
To set your stride length, press and hold the Set button until Set Up shows and click until '0 cm' shows on the screen. Press and hold the Memory button until '30' is flashing. You can set your stride length from 30cm to 120cm. Most people will fall into the 50cm to 80cm range. Holding the Memory button down increases the cm 10 at a time. Pressing and releasing the Memory button will increase the stride length one cm at a time. One stride length is measured from the heel of one foot to the heel of the other at a normal walking pace. To get your natural stride length, walk 10 steps from a fixed point and measure in centimeters from where you finish. Divide this measurement by 10 to get cm per stride. Repeat this until you find a consistent stride measurement.
| 1 foot = 0.3 meters | (1 meter = 3.3 feet) |
| 1 mile = 1.6 km | (1 km = 0.6 miles) |
| 1 inch = 2.54 cm | (1 cm = 0.39 inches) |
Setting Your Weight Measurement
Press and hold the Set button until Set Up shows and click it until '0 kg' shows on the screen. Press the Memory button to input your weight in kilograms. Each press = 1kg or hold the set button to increase by10kg increments.
| 1 kg = 2.2 lbs. | (1 lb. = 0.45 kg) |
Press the Set button to return to the step count screen (steps will show under the number). Press reset for 3 seconds to set to 0.
Now clip the pedometer to your belt, waistband (or even underwear!) It should be above either your right or left hip and fit snugly to your body. Make sure it is horizontal to the ground and not tilted. Keep the case closed during use - only open to check the step count.
Walk for 100 steps. Check your pedometer. If the reading is 105 steps or more, move the adjustment button (lower left ADJ) to the right one click. If the reading is 95 steps or less, move it to the left. This way you can fine-tune for accuracy.
Memory Feature
The Omron HJ-105 has a 7 day memory feature for steps, aerobic steps, minutes of aerobic step activity, calories and distance. To access this information, Press and hold the Set button until the information you want is shown in the display (ie steps). Press and release the memory button to scroll back through the last 7 days on information. The number of the day, 1 through 7 will show beneath the number of steps. For aerobic steps, the number of minutes of aerobic activity for that day will show in the clock feature position. In the calorie mode, the numbers of grams of fat burned will show in the clock feature position.
Aerobic Steps Feature
If you walk more than 60 steps per minute or for more than 10 minutes continuously, these steps and time are logged into the aerobic step function. These steps will also be added to your step total in the regular steps function.
Enjoy!
