Why wear an activity sensor?

Exercise is a prerequisite for leading a healthy life. Physical activity keeps you fit and lowers the risk of heart disease and circulation problems. Exercising helps you to lose weight and you will notice that your well-being improves. Physical activity covers all exercises that use up energy. As a result, daily activities such as walking, cycling, climbing the stairs and household chores play an important part. The AS 87 activity sensor enables you to objectively assess and record your daily motion activity. In this way, it can also motivate you to increase your daily exercise. With the free “beurer HealthManager” app, you can easily transfer your motion activity from the activity sensor to your smartphone. This means that you can easily get a clear view of your recordings on your smartphone at any time. You can also be notified of messages (e.g. text message or WhatsApp) or calls received, all with the convenience of a device worn on the wrist. As a result, you see key information at a glance and keep up to date with all your notifications.

The activity sensor in combination with the “beurer HealthManager” app offers the following functions:

• Display of time and date
- Display of daily step count, distance, calories burned, active time and progress towards daily target (in %)
• Overview of individual sleep phases

What benefits does the activity sensor offer me?

Exercise is a prerequisite for leading a healthy life. Physical activity keeps you fit and lowers the risk of heart disease and circulation problems. Exercising helps you to lose weight and you will notice that your well-being improves. Physical activity covers all exercises that use up energy. As a result, daily activities such as walking, cycling, climbing the stairs and household chores play an important part. The activity sensor enables you to objectively assess and record your daily motion activity. In this way, it can also motivate you to increase your daily exercise. A daily quota of

at least 7,000–10,000 steps or 30 minutes of activity are ideal. (Source: according to WHO, Dr Catrine Tudor-Locke, Dr David R. Bassett Jr)

How does the activity sensor record my steps?

The activity sensor continually records your physical activity using the in-built 3D sensor. All your physical movements are then converted into steps. The information on the distance covered can therefore differ from the actual distance.

How can I analyse my activity and sleep data?

You can transfer your saved data to a smartphone (Android ^™ and iOS) via the Bluetooth ^® interface of your activity sensor, where you can then analyse it. All you need for this is the free “beurer HealthManager” app on your smartphone. The activity sensor uses Bluetooth ^® low energy technology, 2.4 GHz frequency band.

How do I synchronise my data with the app?

To transfer the recorded data from your activity sensor to the “beurer HealthManager” app, follow the instructions in Chapter “7. Transferring data to your smartphone”.

The data transfer to the smartphone does not work.

There could be several reasons for this:

• Check that your smartphone/tablet is compatible with the “beurer HealthManager” app.

• The activity sensor is in “sleep mode”. To exit “sleep mode”, press and hold the button for 3 seconds. 🙏 appears on the display of the activity sensor.

• Bluetooth® is not activated on your smartphone. Activate Bluetooth® in your smartphone settings.
