GETTING STARTED

SETUP

You must set up the device (as shown below) when you first activate the unit, reset it or change the batteries, or your pedometer will not work properly.

1. To activate the device, pull out the insulation tape underneath the battery cover. (For PE828, insert batteries.)
2. Set the clock and user profile (see Clock / User Profile section).
3. PE826 only - Calibrate the stress index baseline (see Pulse Meter / Stress Index section).
4. Attach the pedometer to your belt or training attire at waist level. Secure it at horizontal position. Improper positioning may result in incorrect data collection.

IMPORTANT FOR ACCURACY

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, or ascending/ descending stairs or steep slopes.

PULSE METER / STRESS INDEX (AVAILABLE IN PE826 ONLY)

NOTE For first-time use, or after replacing a battery or resetting the unit, user must calibrate stress index baseline, otherwise no valid reading can be obtained.

To calibrate your stress index baseline:

The index is highly individual, so you need to calibrate your personal baseline before you use this function to monitor your stress status.

Make sure you relax for 2 to 3 minutes before you start the calibration:

1. Press to enter Pulse Mode.
2. Press to enter calibration setting.

1. Press and hold SET to start calibration.

Z

1. Relax and put the tip of your thumb or index finger on the pulse sensor.

1. Wait for about 10 seconds until the word FINISH appears on the LCD panel.

2. Repeat 3-5 if the calibration fails.

NOTE It's highly recommended to calibrate your individual stress index baseline once a month or whenever you want to refer to your parameter in different situations.

To measure pulse and stress level:

1. Keep calm before and during measuring.

2. Press

3. Put the tip of your thumb or index finger on the IR sensor.

4. Wait for about 10 seconds until pulse rate is shown (e.g. 100).

1. The LCD will display your stress level as follows:

ICON BAR COLOR MEANING
::	Green Relaxed
::	Yellow Normal
::	Red Not relaxed

NOTE Retry if failed (if no reading is showing within 1 minute the pedometer will escape from pulse mode). You then press pulse rate button 心 again.

TIPS

• Cold fingertips and cold 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.

What is your stress index?

The stress index measurement is based on heart rate variability, which indicates your involuntary nervous system's status.

A large heart rate variation is an indication that the parasympathetic nervous system has a predominance, which generally corresponds to someone in a relaxed state.

As for a smaller value, it indicates that the sympathetic nervous system is active, which is related to physical or mental stress.

HOW TO USE PANIC ALARM (AVAILABLE IN PE828 ONLY)

The alarm will be activated when the panic alarm pin is detached from its socket.

• Pull the chord and detach the pin to activate the alarm.
• To stop the alarm, simply reconnect the pin to its socket.

NOTE If the panic alarm is activated, 1 new 23A 12V battery used continuously, lasts approx. 15 mins. It is recommended that you quickly test the alarm function every time you use the pedometer.
