Measuring your Total Energy
Eng
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.
