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.

distance between the two marks, and then divide by 10.
