Eng Names of Parts Front MEMORY Button/Down Button MODE Button/Up Button CLEAR Button SET Button Display Screen Back Strap Holes Battery Cover Screws Battery Cover8 Eng Fitting/Replacing Batteries If you are setting your Daily Activity Monitor for the first time, the first step is to insert the batteries. If is displayed on the display screen, promptly replace the batteries with brand-new CR2032 size batteries. Always replace both batteries at the same time. Note: Correct values will not be displayed until the initial settings are made. Be sure to make the initial settings. Initial settings are performed in the following order: Time → Age → Sex → Height → Weight → Body fat percentage → Stride length. We recommend finding your weight, body fat percentage and stride length in advance. If you do not know your body fat percentage, use the calculated value shown in the display screen. If you want more accurate readings, use a Tanita Body Composition Monitor (sold separately) to measure your body fat percentage. The stride length is taken as the distance between the toes on one foot and the toes on the other foot. In order to accurately find your average stride length, walk for 10 steps and then divide the total walked distance by 10. E.g. If you walked 6.5 meters in 10 steps, 6.5/10 (steps) = 0.65 meters = 65 cm Battery Mark Flashing The battery power is low. Replace the old batteries with 2 new CR2032 batteries. Display There is no battery power left. The device cannot take measurements. Replace the old batteries with 2 new CR2032 batteries. Request: Must Do Do not replace the batteries immediately before or after 0:00 am midnight. If you do, the measurement from the day when the batteries were removed will be added to the measurement value of the day when the new batteries were inserted. (Data from the day the batteries were removed will be treated as data from the same day the new batteries were inserted.) Measurement values are recorded from 00 minutes of every hour. When the batteries are replaced, the measurement data from 00 minutes to the time the batteries are replaced is erased. When the batteries are removed, the time returns to [0:00]. Reset the time again → P. 11. However, all individual settings and measurements other than the time settings are not erased.

Open Close20 Eng 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.21 Eng Using the Daily Activity Monitor Correctly In the following cases, total energy expenditure may not be measured correctly. However, this will not interfere with the total energy expenditure it does not continue for a long time. When riding in a vehicle When riding in a car, bus, or on a motorbike When riding a bicycle Activities involving vertical movements Climbing up or down stairs Climbing up or down steep slopes Sports other than walking Jogging or jumping exercise, playing sports (A reference value for total energy expenditure can be measured) When this device is subjected to irregular movements If this device is shaken around inside a pocket etc. If the area where this device is worn moves irregularly In the following situations, the number of steps, walking distance and walking time may not be measured correctly. When walking irregularly When sliding your feet to walk (on snowy/icy surfaces etc.) When walking in shoes such as sandals or slippers. When walking through crowded areas such as busy city centre streets Sports other than walking Jogging or jumping exercise, playing sports (Measurement can be made, but should be taken as a reference value)

1) Total Energy Expenditure (TEE)

Shows the accumulated total of burned calories for the day from midnight until the present time. (The maximum display for 1 day is 99999 calories. The display stops changing if this value is exceeded.)

2) Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)

The minimum number of calories your body burns for vital bodily functions such as respiration and heart rate when at rest. This value is calculated based on the personal information you set. This value will not change unless you change the settings.

3) 24-Hour Activity Graph

Shows the amount of activity for the day from midnight until the present time as a graph. The amount of activity is shown in hour blocks for every hour on a scale of 7. Each scale is based on the Basal Metabolic Rate for one hour, and shows the amount of activity as a multiple of this base value. 7th scale mark ..... More than 3.5 times the resting energy expenditure 6th scale mark ..... More than 3.0 times, less than 3.5 times the resting energy expenditure 5th scale mark ..... More than 2.5 times, less than 3.0 times the resting energy expenditure 4th scale mark ..... More than 2.0 times, less than 2.5 times the resting energy expenditure 3rd scale mark ..... More than 1.5 times, less than 2.0 times the resting energy expenditure 2nd scale mark .... More than 1.1 times, less than 1.5 times theresting energy expenditure 1st scale mark .....

1) Activity-related Energy Expenditure (AEE)

Shows the total number of calories burned through the physical activity for the day between midnight and the current time. Physical activity means all activities that burn more calories that when seated (when resting).

This unit is used to show the intensity of physical activity. 1 MET is taken as the intensity of physical activity in the seated, relaxed state; other activities are measured as a multiple of this value. Regular walking is measured as approximately 3 METS. This means that walking is approximately 3 times more intense than sitting down.

• This value is calculated from the intensity of physical activity for the previous 1 minute.
