3.1 Power On/Off
The 3DFitBud Pedometer does not have a manual power button. It automatically powers on when movement is detected and enters an auto-sleep mode after 2 minutes of inactivity to conserve battery life. The display will turn off during auto-sleep and reactivate when movement resumes.

To reset the step count to zero, locate the "RESET" button on the back of the pedometer. Press and hold this button until the display clears and shows "0". This action will clear the current step count, allowing you to begin tracking a new session.

4.2 Cleaning and Care
- Wipe the pedometer with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and smudges.

- Store the device in a cool, dry place when not in use.
5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your 3DFitBud Pedometer, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Display is blank or dim. | Battery is low or depleted. Device is in auto-sleep mode. | Replace the CR2032 battery. Move the device to wake it from auto-sleep. |
