How to wear your pedometer:
Your pedometer clips easily and snugly to either side of the hip
portion of your pants or shorts. For best results, keep the unit in line
with the crease line of your pants.
The pedometer must be directly perpendicular to the ground. The
pedometer needs to be at a 60 degree angle to the ground. Dragging your
feet, walking with sandals or uneven footsteps in a crowded area can
affect the accuracy.
The pedometer only works when walking, jogging, or walking up/down
stairs.

The Gaiam support page said there was a link for "use & care" that was support to have instructions for setting the pedometers. I could find the link. I also said to contact them if you had additional questions. Hope this helps.
Wear your pedometer all day. Attach it to your belt or waistband (in line with your kneecap) and wear it from the moment you get dressed in the morning until you go to bed. This will ensure that you are accurately tracking your activity for the entire day. Remember that your pedometer cannot get wet, so take it off when showering or swimming.
No, you're not doing anything wrong. I would trust the heart monitor, which gives you a better idea of what YOUR body is doing and not what the AVERAGE body is doing. Most pedometers also cannot distinguish running and walking, which have durastically different calorie requirements. It is most likely calculating the calories burnt if you were walking, not running.
