GETTING STARTED

INSULATION TAPE

Before using the device, pull out the insulation tape underneath the battery cover.

NOTE The unit will not work until the tape is pulled out.

BATTERIES

To change the batteries:

1.Gently press and pull the battery compartment door.

2.Insert 2 x LR44 size 1.5V batteries or equivalent.

3.Replace the battery compartment door.

NOTE Protect the environment by taking exhausted batteries to authorized disposal stations.

Shows when batteries are low.

To open the cover:

Holding the pedometer upright, grasp the clip with one hand and press the COVER RELEASE button with the other.

CLOCK

1.Press MODE until the STEP mode is displayed.

2.Press and hold MODE for two seconds. The 12-hour value will flash. Press RESET / to select between 12 hour and 24 hour format.

2.Press MODE, the “hour” digits will flash.

3.Press RESET / to alter hour value. Press and hold to increase the value rapidly.

4.Press MODE to confirm the change and move on to the next setting.

5.Repeat 3, 4 to complete setting minute and second values.

ADJUSTING THE SETTINGS

DISTANCE AND CALORIES

Total distance = steps taken x average step length. Measuring distance correctly depends on setting the correct average length of individual stride.

Precise calories expended calculations require taking into account many factors. The PE326PM uses body weight and the number of steps taken to give a good estimate.

To set stride length and body weight:

1.In DIST / TIMER or CAL / TIMER mode press and hold MODE for two seconds to enter STRIDE / WEIGHT display. The stride numbers will flash.

2.Press RESET / until the desired length of stride is selected (30 to 150cm or 11 to 60 inches).

3.Press MODE, the weight numbers will flash.

4.Press RESET / until desired weight setting is reached (30-150kg or 65-340lbs).

5.Press MODE to confirm and exit.

TIP Individual stride-length varies. Input an appropriate length for an average stride. To

determine length of stride walk 10 paces and divide distance traveled by 10.

NOTE To make the unit more or less sensitive to motion, reposition the motion sensitivity switch. To determine the proper amount of motion sensitivity, experiment with different settings.

MOTION SENSITIVITY

Follow these important procedures to adjust the Motion Sensitivity and ensure accurate readings:

1.Correctly position and attached the unit to a belt or waistband.

2.Reset step counter to zero.

3.Walk at a normal pace; take at least 100 steps.

4.Adjust sensitivity switch if walking speed changes. Repeat steps 2-4 until accurate reading is obtained.

The following conditions may cause incorrect reading of steps taken:

1.Uneven walking pace, such as walking in crowded areas or on uneven floor.

2.Frequent up and down movements, such as standing up and/or sitting down; running, jumping, going up and down stairs etc.

USING THE PEDOMETER

COUNT-UP TIMER

The count-up timer will start from zero and count to a maximum time of 99 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds (99:59’59”)

1.In DIST / TIMER or CAL / TIMER mode press ST / SP to start the timer.

2.Press ST / SP again to stop the timer.

To reset the timer to zero, press RESET / in DIST / TIMER or CAL / TIMER mode.

TO VIEW VALUES

To view steps taken, distance traveled and calories expended:

Press MODE to enter the desired mode.

To reset the values, press RESET / in STEP mode.

NOTE The total distance and calories expended will be cleared along with the total steps.

MEASURING PULSE RATE

The built-in Pulse meter provides an easy way to measure your pulse rate while working out.

A person’s pulse rate indicates the number of times that the heart beats within a given amount of time. This unit attempts to calculate approximately how many times a heart will beat in one minute.

Insert your finger loosely into the Pulse meter on the outside of the unit.

1.Press to enter PULSE mode. The symbol will flash while pulse is measured.

2.The pedometer will return to previous mode a few seconds after finger is removed. Alternatively, press to exit PULSE mode.

PULSE RATE TROUBLESHOOTING

If you cannot get a reading or think yours is not correct, follow these tips to ensure accurate measurements:

Cold fingertips and chill air can affect the measurement. You may need to warm your hands before you start.

The sensor is sensitive to light sources. Cover the entire sensor area with your fingertip to block all light.

Gently touch the pulse sensor; do not press hard.

Keep still and calm during measurement. Moving about can affect the reading.

Wait the proper amount of time: measurements can take 6-12 seconds depending on the stability of the signals received.

FITNESS TIPS

To keep fit, it generally takes a person weighing 60kg to walk 10,000 steps to burn approximately 300 calories. The following diagram will give you some basic reference to the calorie consumption for people of various weights.
