LED Flashes

The red LED on the StepWatch can be set to blink up to 100 times at the beginning of the recording session. It blinks each time a step is detected. You can use the LED flashes to quickly assess the appropriateness of your settings by walking alongside your client and making sure the light blinks once for each step. Be sure your client is not also trying to look at the StepWatch because this creates a gait pattern that does not reflect typical movements.

To preserve the battery of your StepWatch, set only the number of flashes you think you will need. A maximum of 100 blinks can be specified for the regular start mode (via the Preference screen). In Advanced Start, you can set up to 255 flashes.
