deactivated on the activity sensor

The activity sensor has an optical sensor that helps you to measure your heart rate in real time To take a heart rate measurement, swipe across the display of the activity sensor until the following screen – which shows the most recent measurement – appears in the display Tap the display briefly The activity sensor starts to record the heart rate As soon as the activity sensor has recorded a heart rate, the measured value appears on the display If the activity sensor fails to record a heart rate, check whether the light sensor on the rear has sucient contact with the skin and is free of skin particles and dust Then tap the display again to activate the heart rate measurement Incident light54 55 and too much movement may distort the measurement Therefore, check that the device is fitted tightly enough but without cutting into your skin

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

6.5 Distance covered

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 ac- tivity sensor then uses the stride length and the number of steps to calculate the distance you have covered The distance displayed is only a rough guide and does not necessarily correspond to the actual distance

6.6 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 al- ready show a figure for the number of calories consumed, as your body also burns calories whilst resting The device automatically includes the number of calories consumed during resting56

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