About the Step-0-Meter
The
Step-O-Meter has a built-in pendulum, which
registers each step taken.
There is a step filter function
that prevents accidental registration of steps
that are not proper steps. To make the
Step-O-Meter count steps the user
has to take six proper steps in
a row without stop. If the user stops for more
than three seconds the filter
function is activated again.
Attaching the Step-O-Meter
The ideal place to attach the Step-O-Meter is
close to the hip. on a belt or
the top of the waistband. To record accurately,
it must be placed vertically,
without tilting.(± 15º tilting angle)

buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds.
