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. 
 

 

 
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.

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. 

 

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. 

 

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 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. 
 

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. 

 

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.  
 

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.
