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

and count to a maximum time of 99
hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds
(99:59’59”)

FITNESS TIPS
To keep fit, it generally takes a person

burn approximately 300 calories. The
following diagram will give you some
basic reference to the calorie
consumption for people of various
weights.
