II-A- 6. Once you have correctly entered your Stride, Weight and Age, push the Exit button twice
and you will be back at the STEPS screen.
You have now entered the important data that the DashTrak requires to accurately calculate its
various metrics such as; Distance, Calorie Burn, Aerobic Pace, and Heart Rate data using the
optional WalkStyles HR Transmitter (instructions for use included in HR Transmitter package).
Next, you should review the Features in Section IV to personalize your DashTrak and to learn
about the Data and Menu Screens.
III. DashTrak Setup and Activating your Platinum Member Account
Remember, you need to charge your DashTrak for at least 2 hours before you begin this
process. After charging, when you remove the DashTrak from the charging unit, if you see a
warning about SYSTEM RESTARTED DATE-TIME UNKNOWN, disregard the warning and push
the Next and Exit buttons until you see the STEPS screen. In the future, if you see this warning, it
means your battery was fully discharged prior to re-charging and you will need to re-sync the
DashTrak clock to your account on the WalkStyles.com web site (see USER TIPS, RE-SYNCING
DASHTRAK TO WEB SITE, page 13).
While you are in the STEPS screen with the DashTrak open, confirm that the counting
mechanism is working by tapping it several times against the palm of your hand. The readout
should increase with each tap.
►DO NOT CONNECT THE DASHTRAK TO THE USB CABLE YET!
