INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT THE ACTIVITY SENSOR
This activity sensor enables you to check your daily amount of exer-
cise. It gives you an overview of your daily physical activity, deter-
mines the number of your paces and thus calculates your calorie
consumption.
The activity sensor has a dual display function which can show you,
for example, the time and number of paces simultaneously. You can
specify your typical pace length with the basic settings, so that the
activity sensor is able to calculate your activity data from the walk-
ing/running speed. Depending on what type of exercise person you
are or what type of activity you do - slow, gentle movements or quick
hard movements - the sensitivity of the activity sensor can be ad-
justed in five steps.
Reward system
Your activity sensor has a "reward system", which gives a continual
assessment of your ongoing daily activities. The reward system is
divided into three activity levels. Depending on the level, the device
shows the corresponding symbol.
The following table shows the three levels of activity. The levels are
based either on the number of paces or the duration of the activity. In
turn, the number of paces are divided into two types of activities:
"Quick walking": more than 90 paces per minute
"Normal walking": less than 90 paces per minute
During the walking period it is possible to take breaks of 2 minutes
each which do not interrupt the evaluation.
Example: You have been walking quickly for 5 minutes in one go
and now want to cross a road. You have to wait at the traffic lights
for approx. 2 minutes before you can cross it. You then walk quickly
again for 5 minutes in one go. Your activity sensor now shows you
an activity time of 10 minutes. Even though you had a break of
