Measuring your Total Energy

Expenditure (calories burned)

You are now ready to start using your Personal Activity Monitor!

You can measure your total energy expenditure for a full day simply by wearing this device.

Unlike pedometers, the daily activity monitor measures the energy expenditure you consume

during normal daily physical activity in addition to the number of steps.

Measuring the number of steps, walking distance, and walking time

Tips on getting the most accurate readings

If you move consistently for more than 7 seconds, the device senses you have started

walking, and displays the measurement value up to that point. If the movement stops

once, and is not followed by more than 7 seconds of consistent Movement, the additional

movement is not added.

Note: Information other than the number of steps, walking distance and walking time are

continually measured.

Note: Even if this device does not detect movement, the total energy expenditure value

increases. Even when resting without any physical exercise, the energy consumed by

our bodies while resting has been incorporated into the device programming.

Note: This device is equipped with an energy saving mode. If it does not detect movement for

approximately 5 minutes, the display will become blank. Information is displayed again

when movement is detected, or when one of the buttons is pressed.
