  • Viewing 7-Day Memory: The device stores your daily step counts for the past seven days. Consult the full instruction manual for specific button presses to access this historical data.
  • Clock Function: The current time is displayed on the pedometer screen.

Maintenance

  • Battery Replacement: The Omron HJ-150 uses a CR2032 coin cell battery. To replace the battery, carefully open the battery compartment on the back of the unit. Insert a new CR2032 battery, ensuring correct polarity. After replacing the battery, you may need to reset the time settings.
