However, some walkers may find thattheir step counts tend to be a bit too high, or too low.All AE1700 models come with a sensitivity adjust-ment, to help account for individual differences.The adjustment switch has three positions: “+,” “-,”and center. The adjustment switch is located onthe bottom of the pedometer, on the right-hand sidewhen looking from the front.Adjustment Procedure: Take 100 steps, then checkSTEPS display to see how many steps were actuallycounted. Repeat once to make sure results areabout the same. If the pedometer counts fewersteps than you actually walked, slide the sensitivityadjustment towards the “+” icon. This will increaserecorded steps by about 10%. If the pedometercounts more steps than you actually walked, slidethe sensitivity adjustment towards the “-” icon. Thiswill decrease recorded steps by about 10%.WEARING YOUR PEDOMETERWhile gently holding the belt clip open, slide thepedometer onto your belt or the top edge of yourpants or skirt. It should fit snugly and level, aboveone knee.Note: The pedometer should be as vertical aspossible. Walkers with larger stomachs may find ithelpful to wear the pedometer farther back on thebody, toward one hip. The cover must be closed forthe pedometer to work. To avoid losing or droppingyour pedometer, use the included leash and clip tofasten the pedometer securely to your clothing.ACCUSPLIT AE1700 Series Pedometer(AE1720, AE1740, AE1790)INSTRUCTIONSACCUSPLIT, Inc. • 2290M Ringwood Ave. • San Jose, CA 95131800-965-2008 • 925-226-0888 • FAX 925-463-0147 • www.ACCUSPLIT.com • support@ACCUSPLIT.comAttaching the Leash: Attach the pedometer to theleash by looping the leash through the pedometerleash slot.
