Robic M-477 Instructions and Operating Guide
Thank you for buying the Robic M-477 pedometer. Please read these instructions
carefully before using it to ensure safe and correct use. Do not expose your pedometer to
direct sunlight, rain, dust, severe shock, humidity or immerse it in water. As a sensitive
instrument, the M-477 may cease to operate if dropped onto the floor. Make certain it is
securely attached to your clothing. To open the cover, hold the M-477 in one hand with
the clip towards your palm and gently use the thumb of your other hand to open the case
using the lip at the top of the lid.
The M-477 has five (5) separate modes of operation:
STEP COUNTER: Counts up to 100,000 steps taken and always appears on the upper
row of the display.
These functions are sequentially displayed in the lower row by pressing MODE:
DISTANCE-Æ CALORYÆ TIMERÆ FAT/BMI (Body Mass Index). Each function is
indicated with the phrase shown below the bottom row of the display.
DISTANCE: Measures how far you have traveled up to 100 miles.
“CALORY”: Calculates how many calories you have expended.
TIMER: Automatically times the hours and minutes you have spent walking.
BODY MASS INDEX: Estimates the Body Mass and Body Fat composition based on
Age, Gender, Height and Weight.
There are four (4) pushbuttons which activate all operations in your pedometer:
MODE (far left) changes the function shown in the lower row of the display.
SET START (second from left) begins and ends the setting procedure for entering stride
length, weight and other factors for measurement.
▲ RESET: (second from right) increases the value of a factor being entered and Resets
all pedometer functions back to zero.
▼: (far right) decreases the value of a factor being entered.
For the most accurate results, the M-477 must be Horizontal and Perpendicular to the
ground, straight and true, not angled or dangling from your clothing. If the pedometer is
not straight and true, you will not receive accurate results. Factors which may result in an
inaccurate step count include shuffling, walking uphill or down and walking at an
inconsistent pace. Position the Pedometer by securely attaching it at waist level to your
belt or to the top of your pants or shorts, on the front of your clothing close to the crease
line of your pants (not at your side). The case must be closed at all times, opened only to
view results. A good way to check if your pedometer is positioned correctly is simply
take 50 or 100 steps, counting them to yourself. Now, check the step count value on your
pedometer. If the reading varies somewhat, please make sure your wearing the
pedometer is positioned correctly.

“FAT/BMI” refers to the calculation of the composition of a person’s Body Mass and
Body Fat based on a number of individual factors input for this purpose. These readings
are for general reference and should not be considered as a diagnosis or any sort of
medical indication. They are simply estimates based on a series of general calculations
across the population as a whole.
To arrive at your Body Mass Index and Body Fat, some individual factors must be input.
They are your weight, height, age and gender. The measurement is made by placing your
fingers or thumbs on the oval recesses on either side of the display. Make certain that
you securely grip the back case when you place your fingers, palm side down, over the
recesses. The fingers (or thumbs) should lie atop the recessed sensors with gentle
pressure.
To begin entering your individual factors, press MODE until the FAT/BMI indicator
appears below the lower row of the display. Five (5) dashes - - - - - will appear.
Press SET/START, LB is shown and the weight value will appear flashing. Press
▲RESET to increase or ▼to decrease the weight. Weight range is 40-350 pounds.
Press SET/START again and the height value in feet “Ft” appears flashing. Increase with
▲ RESET or decrease with ▼as needed. Press SET/START to set inches. The range for
height is 3’0” to 6’11”.
Press SET/START again for Age. Increase with ▲RESET and decrease with ▼. The
age range is from 1-99 years old.
Press SET/START again for Gender. Select between Male and Female by pressing ▼.
The Female indicator is in the extreme lower right corner of the display.
After beginning to set an individual factor, “ERR” will appear in the display if no button
is pressed within 30 seconds. If ERR appears, simply press SET/START to begin again.
To measure your Body Mass Index and Body Fat %, press MODE until FAT/BMI
appears in the lower right corner of the display and 5 dashes appear in the lower row.
Press ▲RESET or ▼ to begin measuring process. The 5 dashes will begin to flash.
Now, place your index finger from each hand in the recessed sensors and hold them there
with gentle pressure. Do not force or push down hard on the sensors. “ERR” will appear
after 8 seconds if a reading is not made. Try once more by pressing ▼ or ▲RESET.

The dashes will fill in from left to right and as they fill in the second time, the BMI value
will appear first and then the Body Fat % will appear. The values will flash back and
forth with the respective indicators as well as a Body icon to segment the reading.
