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
5.Press MODE to confirm and exit.
TIP Individual
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
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
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
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
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.
