  • Notes

  • Compact fitness‑style pedometer combined with a simple FM auto‑scan radio, sold under the PSL Design brand and commonly used as a promotional or retail gadget. The unit features a front LCD with STEP / DIS / CAL / CHRO indicators, a belt‑clip housing, and side‑mounted radio controls. The FM section uses a single‑chip radio‑on‑IC with electronic scan and reset tuning.

    Pedometer functions:

    • STEP – step counter
    • DIS – estimated distance
    • CAL – estimated calories
    • CHRO – chronograph/stopwatch

    Controls:

    • Front: MODE, RESET (pedometer)
    • Side: SCAN, RESET (radio), volume wheel, ON/OFF

    This type of multifunction pedometer/FM radio was widely produced by Chinese OEM factories in the 2000s. PSL Design distributed several variants with identical housings but different internal functions (air‑quality indicators, pulse oximeters, thermometers, etc.).
