The Pedometer shuts off during inactivity and I'm wondering if there is a way to keep it on so I don't have to keep pressing the button.

It's simple to change the time on a Fanmis sport pedometer. To get to the "Time" setting, all you have to do is keep pressing the "Mode" button. Then, after pressing the "Set" button, change the time using the "Start/Stop" and "Reset" buttons.
Once the time has been set, you may resume recording your steps and working toward your fitness objectives. After all, if you want to keep healthy, time is of the essence!

The unit powers on in the last mode it was in when it was powered off (Oxygen Tester or Pedometer). If it is in pedometer mode, do this: Hit power button once to start. If in pedometer mode, simply keep pressing the power button and watch the tiny curser jump between the four symbols. When it lands on the "Return Arrow" hold down the power button for a few seconds until the unit returns to the Oxygen Tester mode. ~jim

Why do you want to change it from Metric to Imperial? Omron Pedometer works really fine and I don't think there's any need to change it.

Use MODE button to scroll to ALM (alarm) then press INFO button to change from ON to OFF. If that doesn't work use MODE button to scroll to PACE, then press INFO button to toggle from ON to OFF.

Some Pedometers turn off automaticaly once they stop moving after a while. Others just require you to press and hold a button for a while. Leave it alone (eithout movement) for 5min, if it dosn't turn off try holding a button for 30sec.

I have an older Sportline pedometer with the same three button arrangement.

My pedometer is set as follows:
First press Mode to get the unit in the Distance mode. Note if the unit is in Kilometers or Miles. (Press and hold Reset for 5 seconds to switch the setting. This will reset the entire pedometer.) Press and hold Set for 2 seconds. The current (or default) step length will appear and flash. Press Set repeatedly until your step length is displayed. It changes by 1" or 1 cm at a time. Then release the Set button. (The pedometer will return to the normal operating mode if you do not press a button for 5 seconds.) When you reach the maximum step length, the unit will advance to the lowest step lenght when you press Set again. Since my step length is actually not a whole number, I rounded down.

A different Sportline step and distance pedometer (the 340) is set slightly differently. To switch from Miles to Kilometers, press and hold Mode when in the Step mode. Then switch to the distance mode and press and hold Set until the step length flashes. Press Reset to advance the current step length by 1" or 2 cm. Then release the button when you have the correct step length displayed. The pedometer will return to the normal mode after 5 seconds with no button presses.

Many Sportline pedometer manuals are available from the company's web site on the product site: http://www.sportline.com . You can look up the model number.

If you add your Sportline pedometer model, I'll be glad to give the specific setting procedure for you.

I hope this helps.

(on her third Sportline pedometer, two had the plastic spring clip fail. They all had similar programming details.)

During the boot process you will see on the screen to press a certain key to enter setup
Press and hold that key during the boot up process to enter BIOS you can load failsafe defaults or load optimized defaults ,press escape then press f10 to save to cmos to restart
or
During the boot process tap the f8 button three times this will boot into safe mode where the only things working will be your mouse and keyboard enabling you to attempt to repair your computer
Also you might try
Turn Off the computer, now as soon as you hit the power button, keep on holding "Alt" key & keep on tapping "F10 key,ie: Alt+F10, it will open the recovery console ,select full factory restore and follow on screen instruction. (Note:this will erase all datas on the computer)
hope this helps

The instructions are totally useless: however, I think I've worked it out.
1. Start by setting the time: press the mode button and cycle through until you reach the time display. Press and hold the Set button until the time flashes. Press the adjust button to add one hour. Press set again to get the minutes to flash. Press the adjust button to add a minute. When the correct time has been set press Set.
2. Press the mode button to cycle through to Steps count (this will be a single number, probably fairly low if you've never tried to use it before). Press and hold the set button until the display changes and flashes for KG and CM. Press the adjust button (ADJ) to add a KG until you reach your correct weight. Now press the set button and the CM will flash. This is the measurement of your standard step, not how tall you are. Measure your step (the one you will take when either jogging or walking depending on what you want to use the pedometer for). This measure is from your back foot toe- to your front foot heel. Now add this number into the CM column by pressing the ADJ button once to add a centimetre. Press set again when you have added the correct number.
3. Finally you need to reset the pedometer: go into KCAL mode and press and hold the ADJ button: this will reset the steps, KM and KCAL counts to zero: Hey presto you are ready to go.
Hope that helps :-)

Hello, maybe we don't have the same kind but mine never shuts off. The battery runs for 6 months walking 10,000 steps per 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.
