ADJUSTING THE SETTINGS
DIST ANCE
The distance traveled is shown on the bottom line
of the LCD display . For greater accuracy it is
recommended that a personal stride-length is set.
1. Press DIST until the stride length is viewed on
the top line of the LCD display .
2. Insert a blunt stylus into HR / + to increase or
MIN / - to decrease stride length. (1 1 to 60 inches
or 30 to 150cm)
If no changes are made to the Stride function, the
top line of the display will automatically return to the
clock display after 5 seconds.
CALORIES
Precise calories expended calculations require
taking into account many factors. The PE316CA
uses body weight and the number of steps taken to
give a good estimate.
1. Press CALO until the body weight is viewed on
the top line of the LCD display .
6 m
(20 ft)
60cm
(24inch)
60cm
(24inch)
2. Insert a blunt stylus into HR / + or MIN / - to
increase or decrease body weight setting.
The unit automatically returns to clock display after
5 seconds of no button being pressed.
NOTE Body weight can be set between 65 to
340lbs (30 to 150kg).
WEARING THE PEDOMETER
Attach at waist level to your belt, slacks, or training
attire. Maintaining a horizontal position, attach

USING THE PEDOMETER
COUNTING STEPS T AKEN
The pedometer counts the number of steps taken.
1. Press DIST once to view number of steps.
To return the pedometer display to zero, press
RESET in STEP mode.
NOTE To make the unit more or less sensitive to
motion, reposition the motion sensitivity slide switch.
To determine the proper amount of motion
sensitivity , experiment with different settings.
NOTE Improper positioning of the pedometer may
result in incorrect data collection.
MEASURING DIST ANCE
Correctly measuring distance depends on accurately
setting the average length of an individual stride
(stride length) and properly setting an internal
motion-sensitivity device.
1. Press DIST until the distance traveled is viewed
on the LCD display .
To return the distance counter to zero, press
RESET in DIST ANCE display mode.
Total Distance = steps taken x average step length
NOTE Individual stride-length varies. Input an
appropriate length for an average stride. T o
determine length of stride walk 10 paces and divide
distance traveled by 10.
COUNTING CALORIES
The built-in calorie counter is an excellent way to
estimate the number of calories an exercise routine
is expending .
1. Press CALO until the number of calories
expended is viewed on the LCD display .
To return the calorie counter to zero, press RESET
