I cannot get my pedometer to count steps. I was able to set up the pedometer, I can work the stopwatch, but cannot get it to start counting steps.

Hello, Anne -

Clarification: Your refrigerator stops counting steps?

Your question landed in the Fixya.com category for Refrigerators.

Or, is it a pedometer you have which stops counting steps? Or is it something else?

Whatever it is, to help you one will need to know _exactly_ what the item is - a refrigerator, a pedometer, some kind of exercise equipment - including the make and model, in order to provide you with relevant advice.

Best wishes.

Instructions 1. Press the "Mode" button until you advance to the "Step Count" feature. 2. Hold the "Reset" button for three seconds. A screen will appear asking you if you wish to reset. 3. Press the "Start/Stop" button to select "Yes." 4. Press the "Mode" button to continue and return to the pedometer mode. You have now reset a New Balance sport pedometer.

The Pedometer is found under the S Health App. If the Pedometer has been turned off, there is an option to Start at the base, if it's active it will have a Pause option. I'm presuming your just need to hit Start to get it working again.

This pedometer is programmed to go to sleep for a couple of reasons.

1. To save battery life.
2. To not inadvertently add steps to jostles or shakes. This pedometer has been programmed to only start counting steps at your 10th step from the sleep mode. This is to help with the accracy of the device.

The sensor is not necessarily counting steps as much as motion that is enough to be considered to be equal to a stepping motion. Positioning the device differently may result in a more accurate count.

Pedometer, if you where looking for what they are called.

Hi
I'm trying to find the usual manual for this pedometer. Thanz

1. Reset pedometer by pressing the reset button.
2. Find a long open place and take 20 steps with the pedometer
closed.
3. Check the number of steps the pedometer counted. It should be
between 19 and 21 steps.
4. If the count was not right, try to move the pedometer forward
(toward your belly button) or back (toward your hip) on your
waist.
5. Repeat this until you get the best count of your steps.
6. Once found, place your pedometer in this spot each day.

Review the following questions for common pedometer troubleshooting: a) Where are you wearing the pedometer? Make sure you are wearing your pedometer correctly by following these steps: * Clip your pedometer to your waistband or belt, directly above your knee. * Be sure your pedometer is perpendicular to the ground, not angled or dangling from your clothing. * Do not wear the pedometer on your shoe, sock, pocket or wrist. It will not provide an accurate reading. * Test the pedometer for accuracy by setting the step counter to zero and walking 50 steps. Check the display. If the reading is between 45-55, your step counter is functioning properly. If it reads more or less, reposition the counter on your waist and check again. * Your pedometer may give inaccurate results if you have had recent surgery or knee, leg, or foot problems. You may be favoring a leg or foot while walking. b)My pedometer has a clicking or loose part sound? Is it broken? No, a clicking or loose part sound is not an indicator of a broken pedometer. Every pedometer has an arm or pendulum inside of it. This is what counts the steps. The clicking noise that can be heard when the pedometer is shaken (or when you are walking) is the pendulum. c)The reset button will not work. The pendulum inside the pedometer is linked to the step counting device. The pendulum may become immobile from time to time, and this can prevent the reset button on the step counter from doing its job. If pressing the reset button a few times does not clear the display, here is what you can do to release the pendulum: * Give the pedometer a few gentle shakes while keeping the reset button held down. This un-sticks the pendulum. * Release the button. If the display has not cleared, press and release the button one more time. * If the display does not reset after trying this once or twice, call Customer Service.

"iPod Software 1.0 for iPod nano introduces a Stopwatch feature. You can use the Stopwatch as you exercise to track your overall time and, if you're running on a track, your lap times too. The Stopwatch menu is located in the Extras menu. To access the Stopwatch from the main menu, select Extras, then Stopwatch, and then Timer (Extras > Stopwatch > Timer) to see its display. Total time of session Current lap time Left button (Start function shown)1 Battery indicator Right button (Clear function shown)1 The left and right buttons' names and functions will change, depending on the current state of the Stopwatch. Using the Stopwatch When you first enter the Stopwatch screen, the left button is labeled Start and the right button is labeled Clear. To use the Stopwatch, select the Start button (use the Click Wheel to highlight the Start button, then press the Center button). The Stopwatch creates a new session, and both the total time of the session and the current lap time begin counting: When these counters begin, the left button changes to Pause and the right button changes to Lap: If you select the Lap button, the current lap time will be recorded in the session's log, then the Stopwatch resets the lap time to zero and begins counting the new lap's time. The total time of the session will freeze for 5 seconds after you select the Lap button so you can quickly view your total time at the end of that lap. After 5 seconds, the total time of the session displays the correct total time and resumes counting. If you select the Pause button, both timers will stop counting and the left and right buttons will change to Resume and Done, respectively. If you select Resume, both timers will begin counting again. If you select Done, the Stopwatch records all the final times and creates statistics for your session in a log. Please note that selecting the Done button does not reset the display. You will see the final times for your total time and lap time displayed: To reset the display, select the Clear button (appears after you click Done and then select Timer again). Stopwatch Behaviors You can play music and use the Stopwatch at the same time. When iPod nano displays the Stopwatch screen, the Play/Pause, Next/Fast-forward, and Previous/Rewind buttons control music playback as usual. If you're playing music, you'll see an icon in the upper-left corner of the Stopwatch screen that indicates the current playback state: A play icon indicates that music is currently playing. A pause icon indicates that a song is currently paused. You can use the Menu button and the Click Wheel to navigate to other menus without interrupting the Stopwatch. Note: The Stopwatch will prevent your iPod from sleeping if it's counting. The Stopwatch will automatically stop if any of these three conditions are met: The total time counter reaches 24 hours iPod goes into hibernation (you can start it again when you wake iPod) You conne
