3. Wearing the pedometer properly
The PE-SOS2 has a motion detector that fundamentally
detects every movement, i.e. including your steps. As every
person moves slightly different, we recommend wearing the
PE-SOS2 as follows:
- with the alarm pen pointing downwards
- Fix securely to the belt of your trousers using the clip
- Position on the belt: in the extension of the trouser fold,
around halfway between the hip bone and the middle of the
body.
It is not possible to carry or wear it in other ways, e.g. in a
handbag, coat pocket or on the body.
Depending on the movement intensity, you can set the
measurement sensitivity via a slide switch on the back of the
device. First set the high sensitivity (switch to the left in the
graphic shown below). If the PE-SOS 2 displays too many
steps, slide the switch to the right and carry out a test walk.
As a fundamental principle, you set your movement type
here:
- Walking ---> to the left
- Jogging ---> to the right (as displayed in the graphic)
Certain situations and walking styles can influence the
preciseness of the pedometer. These are, for example:
- The pedometer swings along too loosely with your move-
ments thereby measuring “extra steps”
- Dragging your feet will cause problems, as well as wearing
sandals or shoes with soft soles. An all too casual ambling
along also makes a correct count difficult.
- You are on or in a vehicle that causes vibrations
(bicycle, automobile, train, bus, etc.).
- You sit down or stand up or move in a fixed position.
- Every movement can be interpreted as a step. This means that
pulling off the pedometer also counts steps. Therefore always
put it on first and then adjust the setting to 0.
- Your movements will be counted. They are perhaps not
