USER MANUAL PE82X OREGON SCIENTIFIC

INTRODUCTION Thank you for selecting an Oregon Scientific

pedometer (PE823 / PE826 / PE828 / PE829 / PE829A). These unique products are ideal for monitoring your exercise routine. The pedometer counts the number of steps taken from one location to another, calculating the total distance covered and calories expended. Other key functions include target step / distance / calories, 7-day memory function, estimated target finish time and keypad lock function. Keep this manual handy as you use your new product. It contains practical step-by-step instructions as well as technical specifications and warnings you should know. KEY FEATURES

1. To activate the device, pull out the insulation tape

underneath the battery cover. (For PE828, insert batteries.)

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. PE82X_M_EN_N_R0.p65 2008.2.19, 1:09 PM4

2. Frequent up and down movements, such as standing

up and/or sitting down; running, jumping, or ascending/ descending stairs or steep slopes. USEFUL TIPS When changing settings you can:

• Press and hold / to speed through the setting options.

• Press SET to bypass or confirm a setting and move on to the next one. During setting mode, if a key is not pressed within 30 seconds, there will be a beep sound and the screen will return back to the previous mode.

for 2 seconds to enter setting mode.

4. Press SET to confirm.

/ to change the value of each digit, and SET to confirm and move on to the next setting. To use target:

has been set, start walking to activate the pedometer. The GO! screen will appear to confirm that the unit is starting to monitor your progress.

2. While you are walking, the ESTIMATED FINISH TIME

(EFT) will periodically appear to advise you how long it will take to complete your target, based on your current pace. The target bar at the bottom of the display will move from left to right (start to finish) to show your progress.

to toggle between the EFT and remaining steps, distance or calories left until target is reached.

4. When target walk is

complete, FINISH will appear and a beep will sound.

5. To reset the target for the next user session, press

and hold RESET. TIMER When the timer is running, it will measure steps, distance and calories. These measurements are not linked to the daily measurements and are only related to the time spent walking while the timer is on. To set timer:

2. Press and hold SET for 2 seconds to enter setting

/ to select countdown or count-up timer and press SET. If the countdown timer is selected you will need to set the hr:min:sec by pressing / to change a value and SET to confirm. To use timer:

• Press to start / stop the timer.

• Press and hold to reset the timer.

repeatedly until you reach the day you wish to view. When you have selected the day you wish to view a 1-second display will show to advise you if you reached that days target or not:

• Target achieved = smiley face and high beep sound.

• Target not achieved = sad face and low beep sound.

to toggle between your chosen days step, distance and calorie display. IMPORTANT At midnight all accumulated daily data will be stored for a period of 7 days. Therefore, once a memory has been stored for 7 days it is replaced with new data from the 1

day of the new week. PE82X_M_EN_N_R0.p65 2008.2.19, 1:09 PM7

The bar at the bottom of the display will indicate which day’s memory record you are looking at.

Press and hold RESET.

3. The setting sequence is:

• Day of the week USER PROFILE

• Upper pulse limit (PE826 only)

• Lower pulse limit (PE826 only)

• Gender To calculate stride length: Individual stride length varies. Input an appropriate length for an average stride. To determine the average stride length, walk 10 paces and divide the distance traveled by

PROFILE SETTINGS If after the initial setting of the clock / user profile (as detailed in previous section), you wish to change the clock time or edit one of the user profile settings, simply:

1. Press MODE to navigate to Clock or User Profile

5. The setting sequence is:

IN PE826 ONLY) 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:

to enter Pulse Mode.

to enter calibration setting.

3. Press and hold SET to start calibration.

4. Relax and put the

tip of your thumb or index finger on the pulse sensor.

5. Wait for about 10 seconds until the word FINISH

appears on the LCD panel.

6. Repeat 3-5 if the

calibration fails. 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.

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

4. Wait for about 10

seconds until pulse rate is shown (e.g. 100).

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

ICON BAR COLOR MEANING

Green Relaxed Yellow Normal Red Not relaxed Retry if failed (if no reading is showing within 1 minute the pedometer will escape from pulse mode). You then press pulse rate button 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. PE82X_M_EN_N_R0.p65 2008.2.19, 1:09 PM10

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. 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. FM RADIO (AVAILABLE IN PE829 / PE829A ONLY) To turn the radio ON, press and hold .
