Installing and pairing your HI-TEC ACTV Lite
1. Install the HI-TEC ACTV mobile application from the relevant App Store.
2. Follow the on-screen instructions within the HI-TEC ACTV mobile app.
3. Congratulations, you are ready to measure and track your activity.
Wirelessly sync your HI-TEC ACTV.
1. The HI-TEC ACTV Lite will automatically sync to the ACTV mobile application when
the HI-TEC ACTV Lite is connected to your device.
2. The HI-TEC ACTV Lite must be within 10 –15 feet, or 3 –5 Meters, of your device.
3. If you have any issues visit the ‘Tips’ section within the app menu.
The Basics of your HI-TEC ACTV Lite.
The HI-TEC ACTV Lite is designed to be worn on the wrist. It can be worn on either wrist. To
improve accuracy, it is recommended that you edit your stride length within the HI-TEC
ACTV mobile application.
Stride length is set automatically based on your entered height when you create your
account. To accurately set stride length, lay a tape measure on the ground stretched out
several feet, then take a normal step measuring from the front of the rear foot to the front
of the other foot.
Stride length is accessed from the Menu, under User Settings. Stride length can be
changed to any number of inches/centimetres* (*unit preferences visible in app settings)
under user settings visible in the app menu.

HI-TEC ACTV Lite Product Manual Version 1.0
Wearing your HI-TEC ACTV Lite.
Your HI-TEC ACTV Lite device is designed to be comfortable when worn on the wrist. It is
recommended that it is worn as tight as possible without being uncomfortable, but cannot
be moved up and down the arm. The band does not contain latex.
1. Place the HI-TEC ACTV Lite on a flat surface with the screen facing down –this will
help to keep the band stable the first few times you use it.
2. Place your wrist on top of the back of the HI-TEC ACTV.
3. Bring the strap, hole-side first, up on to the wrist, and then bring the clasp side of
the strap over the top.
4. Using your thumb and forefinger gently pinch the clasp to close the strap.
5. If you have trouble closing the clasp add a couple of drops of water to the hole side
of the strap –this reduces the friction and makes things much easier.
Is the HI-TEC ACTV waterproof?
The HI-TEC ACTV is ‘water-resistant’. The HI-TEC ACTV Lite can stay on your wrist:
•during your sweatiest workout.
•while washing your hands.
•while taking a shower.
The ACTV Lite is not waterproof, and should NOT be worn while swimming, scuba diving, or
when in the bath - the bath is for relaxing not measuring activity!
Battery Charging
The battery inside your HI-TEC ACTV Lite is a rechargeable Lithium-Polymer battery.
Under normal use the battery life on your HI-TEC ACTV Lite should last for around 5 days.
As a general rule, the less your device vibrates or has the screen turned on, the longer your
battery will last.
If you still find yourself with an unusually short battery life, try this:
1) Make sure your device has been synced to your phone,
2) On your device, do a Factory Reset (go to Apps > Settings ( ) > Factory
Reset?), and;
3) Clean the gold charging contacts on the back of your device with a brush (e.g.
old tooth-brush) and some rubbing alcohol.
As always, drop us an email at [email protected] with any questions or concerns you
have!

HI-TEC ACTV Lite Product Manual Version 1.0
To charge the HI-TEC ACTV Lite align the pins on the cradle with the pins on the HI-TEC
ACTV Lite so that they snap together.
You can then plug the micro-USB cable into the cradle and connect it to a USB power
source, your PC or laptop is ideal, or even a spare phone charger you may have.
A wall charger or desktop computer will fully charge your ACTV Lite in 90 minutes. A laptop
should also charge it in 90 minutes, but some laptops stop charging if their screen is
asleep.
Care Instructions
You can clean your band, after any exercise, with a soft damp cloth. It is also recommended
that you clean the charging pins on the back of the HI-TEC ACTV Lite. This is done simply
with a brush (e.g. old tooth-brush), or a cotton-bud and some rubbing alcohol.
Your Activity with the HI-TEC ACTV Lite.
The HI-TEC ACTV Lite will track steps taken, active minutes, distance travelled, calories
burned and sleep.
•Steps are tracked using internal hardware to detect movement, and this movement
is then determined to be a step (or not a step) based on a unique step tracking
algorithm.
•Active minutes are calculated for any activity lasting 30 seconds or more. Any
movement lasting less than 30 seconds will not count towards an active minute.
•Distance travelled is calculated using 3 factors: number of steps taken, speed of
those steps, and set stride length. Stride length can be adjusted under user settings
in the HI-TEC ACTV app menu.
•Calories are calculated using 4 factors: set weight and gender visible in user
settings, the number of steps recorded, and the speed of those steps.

HI-TEC ACTV Lite Product Manual Version 1.0
Tracking your Sleep
Sleep is tracked using the same hardware used to track movement in the ACTV Lite. Asleep,
restless and awake periods are based on intensity of movement ranging from no
movement, very little movement and recorded steps (corresponds directly with asleep,
restless and awake measurements).
'Restless' activity is measured by general body movement, such as turning over, adjusting
your pillow, punching your partner in the side to stop the snoring, etc. ‘Asleep’ is when
you are completely at rest, dreaming of sweet nothings.
‘Awake’ is when you get up to go to the bathroom or suddenly develop a sleep walking
habit!
To put your ACTV Lite in sleep mode there are two options:
1. From the app, double tap your ACTV Lite to sync with the app, then tap on the sleep
mode bar at the top of the screen. See the toggle button next to the cute little moon? Tap
the toggle button to start the clock.
Once you wake up, sync your device again (double tap) and tap the toggle button.
2. On the ACTV Lite, from the ‘apps’ screen (seen to the left of the time/date screen),
tap on the moon icon. You will then see a confirmation screen appear. Tap on the check
mark to start sleep mode.
When you want to turn sleep mode off, double tap the screen and you will see a sleep
timer. Swipe the screen to see a moon icon with a slash through it. Tap on the icon to exit
sleep. Next time the ACTV Lite is synced with the HI-TEC ACTV app via double tap, recorded
sleep should display in the sleep tile.

HI-TEC ACTV Lite Product Manual Version 1.0
You may sometime forget to switch the band out of sleep mode, don’t worry It can happen!
We have programmed the HI-TEC ACTV Lite to automatically exit sleep mode once you walk
more than 200 steps.
Viewing your activity using the HI-TEC ACTV application.
To view previously recorded data for all of your activities, simply select the tile for the
desired activity on the HI-TEC ACTV app home screen. Here you'll see a graph appear
showing previous data.
Select the calendar icon on the upper right to change date view. Swipe left or right on the
graph to scroll through previous days. Swipe left or right on the bottom portion showing
activity count to scroll between graphs for each activity.
Caller ID
Your HI-TEC ACTV Lite has Caller ID capability. Giving a gentle vibrate, the ACTV Lite allows
you to see who is calling your phone without having to remove your phone from your pocket,
bag or luggage! We like to think it makes things a little more convenient, when you know
you can leave a call for later and know it’s not that urgent.

Resetting your HI-TEC ACTV Lite
If you are experiencing issues, such as syncing or become non-responsive, one easy way
to fix it is to perform a reset. Your HI-TEC ACTV Lite has three levels of reset, a “Restart”, a
“PIN Reset” and a “Factory Reset”.
A "Restart" is found on your ACTV Lite, under apps > settings ( ), and will simply power
your ACTV Lite off and back on. This fixes the majority of issues.
To do a "Pin Reset," place your ACTV Lite back into its charging cradle. Flip it over and use
the end of a paperclip, not a drawing pin, to hold down the tiny button marked "Reset" on
the back of the charging cradle. This is essentially another method to restart your ACTV
band.
"Factory Reset" is found on your ACTV Lite, under apps > settings (small gear icon), and will
delete all the recorded data on your ACTV Lite (data already synced to your phone will
remain linked to your account) and restore it to factory settings. Your ACTV Lite will display
a 4 digit pairing code as it did coming out of the retail box. After doing a Factory Reset,
you'll have to re-pair your ACTV Lite to your phone.
Update your HI-TEC ACTV Lite
At HI-TEC we are continually looking at ways to improve the ACTV range of wearable
devices. As such there may be free updates to improve the product and enhance your
experience.
When a software update is available, your ACTV Lite will automatically start downloading it
the next time it syncs with the app. Your ACTV Lite will need enough battery to complete
the update, so it's always a good idea to have your ACTV Lite plugged into the charging cradle
before you attempt the update. Make sure your phone/tablet is connected to a reliable
internet connection when attempting to update the ACTV Lite.
If your update is having trouble completing, it is possible that your ACTV Lite has some stray
files saved on it, causing the update to stall. But not to worry! There are a few things you
can do to reformat your ACTV Lite to successfully accept the update.
First, force quit the app and do a factory reset on your ACTV Lite. Make sure you have
synced your current steps with the app, otherwise you will lose your current progress. You
will then need to re-pair your device with the app. Once you do that, you should see the
update prompt.

we'll get you up and running again!
5. How do I trim my wristband?
Your ACTV Lite wristband can be cut to the appropriate length using a pair of
scissors. Please cut only one section at a time to avoid cutting it too short!
