The activity sensor has the following functions: time with date and battery state, pedometer, calorie consumption, distance covered, active time, daily target, heart rate measurement and sleep mode. The functions are reset to zero every day at midnight. The counting then starts again from the beginning. To switch between the individual functions, press the “Touch” button on the ac- tivity sensor.46 47 Time Activity/ steps Pulse measurement “Touch” button: briefly “Touch” button: 3sec. “Touch” button: 3sec. “Touch” button: 3sec. “Touch” button: 3sec. “Touch” button: 3sec. “Touch” button: briefly “Touch” button: briefly “Touch” button: briefly “Touch” button: briefly “Touch” button: briefly “Touch” button: briefly “Touch” button: briefly “Touch” button: briefly “Touch” button: briefly Calorie consumption Daily target in % Sleep mode Bluetooth

The activity sensor displays the current time and the current date. Once the activity sensor has been synchronised with the smartphone, the time and date on the smartphone are transferred to the activity sensor. The current battery state is also displayed at the top right. If you have activated Bluetooth

on the activity sensor, the Bluetooth

logo is shown in the display. The Bluetooth

logo flashes in the display if it is searching for a connection to a smartphone. The Bluetooth

logo appears constantly if it is connected to a smartphone. Charge your battery regularly to allow the data to be continuously recorded.

The activity sensor shows movements in steps. The steps are recorded with a 3D sensor inside the activity sensor.48 49

7.4 Calorie consumption

The activity sensor calculates your calorie consumption using the details you have entered in the app (height, age, gender, weight) and the steps you have taken. When you wake up in the morning, the activity sensor will already show a figure for the number of calories burned, as your body also burns calories whilst resting (BMR). The activity sensor displays the total number of calories burned whilst resting (BMR) and actively burned calories (AMR).

The activity sensor calculates your stride length using the height you have entered in the app. You can also individually adjust the stride length. The activity sensor then uses the stride length and the number of steps to cal

culate the distance you have covered. The distance displayed is only a rough guide and does not necessarily correspond to the actual distance.

The active time shows you how long you have been active. The active time only counts the time during which you have been moving.50

You can set a daily target in the settings of the “beurer HealthManager” app (e.g. 10,000 steps). You can see the current progress towards the set daily target (in %) on the display of the activity sensor.

The activity sensor has an optical sensor that helps you to measure your heart rate in real time. It is only possible to measure heart rate if the activity sensor is NOT in sleep mode. If the activity sensor does not have enough battery charge, you have to charge the battery first.

1. In order to start heart rate measurement, press the “Touch” button re-

peatedly until the following screen appears in the display. HeartRate50 51

2. If you press and hold the “Touch” button for 3 seconds, “detecting …” appears

in the display and the activity sensor starts to record the heart rate. As soon as the activity sensor has recorded a heart rate, the meas- ured value appears on the display. If the activity sensor does not record a heart rate, “No Signal” appears in the display. In this case, check whether the light sensor on the rear has sucient contact with the skin and is free of skin particles and dust. Then press the “Touch” button again to activate the heart rate measurement.

To stop the heart rate measurement, press and hold the “Touch” but- ton for 3 seconds. Incident light and too much movement may distort the measurement. Therefore, check that the device is fitted tightly enough but without cutting into your skin. Heart rate training ranges Whilst your current heart rate is shown in the display of the activity sensor, the activity sensor also alternately shows your current training range. The maximum heart rate is automatically derived from the following formula: 220 - age = maxi- mum heart rate. The individual training ranges are calculated using the maximum heart rate. The heart rate is preset into the following training ranges. However, this can be changed in the app:52 53 AM1 1 .09WED

HeartRate “Fat Burning” appears on the display if your current heart rate is between 50% and 60% of your maximum heart rate. AM1 1 .09WED

What is the correct way to wear the activity sensor? Wear the activity sensor on your left wrist if you are right-handed, or on your right wrist if you are left-handed. What benefits does the activity sensor oer 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 a 30-minute activity are ideal. (Source: according to WHO, Dr Catrine Tudor-Locke, Dr David R. Bassett Jr.)58 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 dier from the actual distance. How can I analyse my activity and sleep data? You can use the Bluetooth

interface of your activity sensor to transfer your saved data to a smartphone (Android and iOS), where you can then analyse it. To do so, you only need 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 section “8. Transferring data to your smartphone”.
