2. Introduction
The PE-SOS2 pedometer is a precise instrument for the
personal control of steps while walking or running. It offers
additional functions that you can use, but do not have to if
you do not want to.
The PE-SOS2 is also equipped with a panic alarm with
which you can attract the attention of passers-by quickly
and effectively if this should be necessary. With the chip that
is supplied with the device, you can also secure bags or a
briefcase, making it easier to prevent theft or loss.
The main idea behind a pedometer is to make you aware of
how many steps you make a day and to motivate you into
additional healthy movement behaviour.
Common speech in Asia says: “He who walks 1000 steps a
day will live to be 100 years old”.
It is not quite that easy but you should try to add an
additional 3000 steps every day to your daily routine,
for example with a deliberate and vigorous evening walk.
You will find that the daily repetition will greatly increase
your health and actually be fun.
The pedometer could be a device to monitor your training.
Another option is to include your pulse. For this Irox offers you
a selection of watches with pulse monitoring
(www.irox.com), e.g. the Irox Phan X2.
The main functions of the PE-SOS2 are listed here and their
handling is described in detail on the following pages:
- Counting steps when walking or running
- Time (in 12 or 24-hour display)
- Stopwatch
- Input of your personal details (weight, step length)
- Display of the distance and the kcal consumption
- Daily target calorie consumption and kcal consumption with
graphical display in %
The PE-SOS2 has 4 keys:
S1 MODE – Selection of the operating mode
S2 SET – Is used for setting and starting/stopping the
stopwatch
S3 UP/CLR – Increasing the setting or resetting the
stopwatch
S4 DOWN – Reducing setting

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

always consistent that is why there may be some deviations
to the number of steps you have perhaps counted by yourself
at one time. Don’t allow this to confuse you. A certain
counting tolerance (+/- 10%) is normal and will often
balance itself out over the day.
What is important though: Even with the error, your own
walking performance can still be monitored and
documented. Whether it’s 5000 or 5300 steps is not as
important as that you consciously, sufficiently and in a
healthy manner moved your body!
4. Select a function (MODE)
Press the large key ‘MODE’ repeatedly until you have reached
the desired function. You have a selection of the following
4 functions:
- STEP/TIME: Pedometer with time (in this mode you
can also set your personal details and the time)
- DIST/STW: Distance measurement and stopwatch
- KCAL/ODO: Used kcal and totalised distance
measurement memory
- SETCAL/DAYCAL: Display and setting of the target
calories and the daily kcal consumption
SETCAL/DAYCAL is followed by the first function
(STEP/TIME) again.
As soon as you have reached the desired function, you can
move into the setting mode with the ‘SET’ key. This will
only happen, however, if a setting is envisaged. Read the
corresponding descriptions on this to find out the exact
procedure here.
If you do not press any key for more than 1 minute in the
two modes KCAL/ODO and SETCAL/DAYCAL, the device will
automatically switch back to the time display (STEP/TIME).
In each of the modes above, the kcal used compared to the
entered target calories are displayed graphically and in 10%
steps at the top edge of the display in each of the above
modes. More on this in Chapter 4.4

4.1 The function step and time (STEP/TIME)
In this mode, you can see the total number of steps measured
since the last reset and the time (quartz watch).
The steps displayed can be reset to zero manually in this
display. For this purpose, press and hold the key ‘UP/CLR’ for
approx. 3 seconds. The distance such as kcal and the DAYCAL
(daily calorie counter) are thus also reset to zero at the same
time.
The pedometer can add and display up to 99,999 steps.
Please note:
- Some information (distance, kcal, kcal target) require the
input of your personal details (step length and weight). Set
these as described here.
- Setting of the time and personal details
Please press the key SET briefly. As soon as the 12-hour or
24-hour display flashes, you can set it with the keys UP or
DOWN (quick change of the setting: hold the UP or DOWN
key pressed).
With the SET key, you move to the next setting according to
the following sequence:
12/24-hour > Hours >Minutes > Your step length in cm >
Your weight in kg (10 – 150kg can be set)
After the last setting in the sequence, the setting is completed
and you will reach the step and time display again.
Measuring step length
To determine your step length, proceed as follows:
Walk 10 steps like you normally would, then measure the
distance covered and divide it by ten. Example: You measure
6.2 metres. 6.2 m / 10 = 0.62 m (input step length: 62 cm).
4.2 The function distance and stopwatch (DIST/STW)
The distance is calculated via the number of steps and the
step length entered and displayed in 0.00 km. The smallest
distance displayed is thus 10 metres.
Resetting to zero in the STEP/TIME mode (see Chapter 4.1).
The stopwatch measures your time up to a maximum of 23
hours 59 minutes.
The resolution is 1/100 second.
The key functions in this display are:
SET : Starting/Stopping the stopwatch
UP/CLR : Resetting of the stopwatch to zero
(only works if the stopwatch has been stopped)
MODE : Continue in another function (the stopwatch can
continue to run in the background)
12 | ENGLISH
ENGLISH | 13
4.3 The function calories and odometer (KCAL/ODO)
The kcal are calculated via your steps and your weight and
displayed in 0000.0 kcal.
Resetting to zero in the STEP/TIME mode (see Chapter 4.1).
The totalised odometer (ODOMETER) cannot be deleted in
normal operation. A resetting to zero is only done with a
change in battery.
None of the keys (apart from ‘MODE’) has a function in this
mode.
MODE : Continue in another function
4.4 The function target calories and daily cal
(SETCAL/DAYCAL)
In the top display, you can set a kcal consumption as your
daily target. A bar display is operated with this value at the
very top in the display. This displays in 10% steps where you
are in regard to your target.
Your daily consumption in kcal is displayed as a kcal value in
the lower display.
Resetting to zero in the STEP/TIME mode (see Chapter 4.1) or
automatically at the end of the day (at 24:00).
The key functions in this display are:
SET : into the setting mode of target calories and
continue to next point to be set
UP/CLR : in the target calories setting mode change of
the flashing position
DOWN : in the target calories setting mode change of
the flashing position
MODE : Continue in another function

5. Change of battery
- The cover of the battery compartment is located under the
clip on the reverse of the device. Lift this clip up and loosen
the screw that fastens the lid of the battery compartment.
- Replace the old batteries (both!) with new ones of the type
CR2032 (3V). Please ensure correct polarity (the positive pole
upwards, i.e. visible for you when you insert the battery)!
- The battery of the type xx (3V) feeds the alarm. If the alarm
becomes weak, replace this battery!
- Close the battery compartment again and tighten the screw
again.
