NOTE
※ We recommend wearing the Activity Monitor
at chest level to ensure the most accurate
physical activity monitoring.
Example: In your chest pocket
※ The Activity Monitor can also be attacched to waist
belts. However, in this case, activity centering on
the upper half of your body sometimes may not be
measured accurately.
※ Do not put the Activity Monitor in your trouser pocket. This will
result in lower precision, and it might break and cause you injury.
※ For details on how to attach and remove the slide clip, see page 21.
※Be sure to use the anti-slip strap. See page 22.
Wearing the Calorie Meter
Put it in your shirt pocket. Use slide clip to fix it in place.
AM-180E
Attaching/Removing the Slide Clip
①Align the side clip from the
side of the Activity Monitor as
shown in the figure on the left.
②Push in the slide clip to the
center of the Activity Monitor as
shown in the figure on the left.
③To remove, slide the slide clip

※ The total amount of consumed energy increases even if the Activity Monitor
does not detect movement. Even in a rested state without any physical
activity, the human body is consuming energy.
※ The Activity Monitor with a power save mode. If no buttons are operated for
30 seconds in the past mode, the mode returns to the main mode. Also, if no
movement is detected for about three minutes, the display
turns off. Display is
restored by detection of movement or pressing of a button.
●Putting the Activity Monitor on and trying it out.
Put the Activity Monitor on and try it out. Data is calculated and
saved automatically simply by wearing the Activity Monitor.
●How the Activity Monitor calculates start of walking to
prevent erroneous measurement.
⇒
If movement is stable for at least six seconds, this is assessed to be
walking, and the measured values are displayed. Also, when movement
is stopped temporarily, measured values are not added unless there is
stable movement for at least six seconds again.
※ Measured values other than "total number of steps", "number of walked steps",
"number of run steps", "distance", and "time" that are calculated from walking activity
are measured at all times since they are taken from the intensity of physical activity.

●
The number of walked steps and number of run steps are calculated from
the walking state during the past six seconds. For this reason, the values
for the number of walk and run steps are updated every six seconds.

This is calculated from the amount of activity during the past minute. So, check
this as you please. After physical activity has stopped for a while, this amount
returns to 1 MET. For a full breakdown of METS definitions see page 39.
※MET indicates the intensity of physical activity at the current
moment in time, and so there is no past data.
This unit indicates the intensity of physical activity. A
seated and relaxed state is taken as 1 MET, and the
intensity of physical activity is indicated as an equivalent
number of times of this state. Generally, regular walking
is 3 METs. That is, activity intensity is about three times
