I have owned this pedometer for 8 days on 2 of those days I have looked down to find that it shut itself off.. and I press mode but it's of no avail?

Have you tried pressing Reset? The screen shuts off, but it continues to count your steps. Pressing Reset turns the screen back on.

I don't think it really shut off, I think it simply think it went to sleep. Push any button for a few seconds and the display will light up and all activity should be reflected. Happy walking.

I know the display times out, but it always comes back when I press mode. I'm not much help to you, sorry!

Plug it in if you have the adapter and start peddling ... it beeps, it tells you in the green lighted bar sporadically how many miles you have gone, the calories burned shows up just above where it says: 8 week weight loss : on the solid plate below the green lighted readout bar. You have to turn it on by using the adapter or battery...I don't use batteries so I am unfamiliar with that process. HOPE I HELPED YOU. It is a sporadic read-out...it runs across the screen at random.

The battery seems to last a long time. I would say over a year. The batteries are easy to replace too...my favorite pedometer!

I sent mine back as I could not reset it. Also because it would not accurately count my steps. Sorry.

I"m sorry not to be of help, but I was unable to get my pedometer to work. This may well be because I am not good with technology. Sorry Shelby

I believe there's a reset button you can hit using a paperclip. I don't have mine in front of me, but it's on one of the side ports. I may have experienced this once, or it wouldn't turn off or on. Either way, the reset button fixed it and you just have to set the date/time, etc..

I bought this scale January 2010 and it worked wonderfully until 2 weeks ago. Now I can't get it to register. I have replaced the battery and wiggled the pads on the bottom. Any suggestions?

There is no way to calibrate this pedometer. If your looking for a reliable, and calibrated pedometer, I'm afraid this one will not work for you.

No, it seems to start tracking whenever you put it on in the morning or whenever. There's no turning it on or off as it seems to always be on once attached. Resets itself at midnight. You can track a specific distance or set of steps by noting where you're at step-wise when you head out on a certain walk and noting the number when you stop, but, no, you can't press a button to measure a certain set.

Good Morning - I have had cheaper pedometers that counted bumps in the road, so far this one hasn't done that for me. Really appears to be accurate. I love it! - Kim

No. I've never removed the battery. This pedometer keeps track of all your steps (and distance etc) for the entire day, from midnight to midnight. There is a separate button called "action" that tracks your steps for a period of time, kinda like a stopwatch. When you want it to start counting, for example at the beginning of a hike, you press "action" and it starts at zero. Then when you conclude your hike, you press "action" again and it stops counting. However, it continues to count and add your steps during your hike, to your daily total. It also has a memory and keeps your data for seven days (I think it's 7, but it might be fewer), so you can click and see how many steps you took yesterday etc. There is never a reason to remove the battery. I've had my pedometer for several months now and have never once removed the battery.

I was thrilled with the pedometer until today when apparently sweat/heat caused the digital numbers to blur/partially display. It has not recovered and appears to be permanently damaged.

It should turn off. Mine displays my weight after I step on the scale and turns off a few seconds after I step off the scale.

Apparently so!!! I've been using the pedometer for several months. I don't really use the USB and it's still there!!!

I never tried to do that. There is a reset button. I would just look at the number of steps I had on a walk and rember.

I have no idea, but I doubt it. Mine was purchased new. The info that came with the pedometer had a card that registered it and that you sent to the company. The warranty for a year was there. A used one would be missing that.

I dont know. Mine resets at midnight every day, as I'm more concerned about each day's total. I know I'll never walk a million steps in a day! :-)
