Dear customer,
Thank you for purchasing this OMRON Step Counter. The
new Walking style IV will measure your physical activity
accurately and helps you to assist your diet or motivates
you to reach your daily walking target.
This Step Counter can count the number of steps while in
a bag or pocket as well as when being worn around the
neck, giving you a choice of options on how to carry it.
Use it every day for an easy way to monitor your health.
INTRODUCTION
 The OMRON Walking style IV features
Aerobic steps (brisk walking)
Aerobic steps are the physical exercise that helps us
stay healthy. Aerobic steps are counted separately
when walking more than 60 steps per minute and more
than 10 minutes successively. If a rest of less than
1 minute is taken after a continuous brisk walk of more
than 10 minutes, this will be regarded as part of
“a continuous walk”.
Calories burned
The intensity of walking is measured and the amount of
calories are calculated.
Action mode
This stores the measurement values* for a specified
period or session. These measurement values are
separate to the measurement values stored for each
day.
* Steps counted/Distance/Calories burned/Aerobic steps
symbol at 10,000 steps
The symbol appears if you have done 10,000 steps
within a day (will not appear on the Action mode display
and Action mode memory display).
