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 PE326FM 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. 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.
