We STRONGLY urge you to consult with your physician before starting
any exercise program, including walking. Even though our national experts
are urging
every able person to walk a minimum of 10,000 steps a day, your physician
is your source to provide you with personal recommendations.
We sell very
durable pedometers, however, like anything, they must be treated in
the proper manner to ensure a long life. Here are some pointers:
-
The pedometer is held to your waistband by a clip. Do NOT try to pull the
clip open as you will break it. Instead, simply slide the clip/pedometer
on a thin waistband or thin belt. Clip breakage is not covered under warranty,
but can be repaired for a small fee.
-
Do NOT drop your pedometer on a hard surface. Like anything with a LCD (liquid
crystal display) it will break. We do not warranty LCD breakage, but often
can repair such for a small fee.
-
ALWAYS
attach the end clip of your "Digi-Tie" strap to your waistband,
belt loop, or pocket when you wear your pedometer. This acts as
a "back-up
system" should
your pedometer come off your waistband or thin belt.
-
Your
pedometer will not count if the lid is not "clicked" closed.
-
In
order to count accurately, the pedometer must be positioned on your
body correctly. Please click on our "Accuracy" tab for more
information.
-
Our pedometers are NOT water-proof. Please remove them as you change your
clothing. We do not warranty water damage, but if your pedometer goes through
the laundry, carefully take off the cover by gently twisting a dime or penny
in the slot at the hinge-end of the case. The battery is housed at the bottom
right hand corner. Take the battery out to avoid corroding the inner working
mechanism and let everything dry for 24 hours. If the battery shows any signs
of corrosion, replace it with an LR-44 battery, available at most electronic,
discount, and grocery stores.
-
If
you gently shake your pedometer, there is a noise that sounds like
something is broken. This is merely the working suspended lever
arm. You most likely will not hear
this sound once you have your pedometer on your waistband or
belt.
Rocky Mountain Pedometer Company endeavors to market reliable and durable
pedometers. We do warranty our pedometers for one year, from purchase date,
for factory-related defects. We cannot warranty wearer-induced problems which
include, but are not limited to, accidentals such as.....
-
dropping
the pedometer,
-
clip,
LCD, and/or case breakage,
-
getting
the pedometer wet,
-
putting
the pedometer in the microwave,
-
battery
wearing out,
-
non-authorized
repairs, and the like.
Please call us, toll free (877) 685-9059, Mountain Time zone, should you
have repair needs. In most cases we can repair your pedometer far cheaper
than the purchase price of a new one.
