Why wear an activity sensor?
Exercise is a prerequisite for leading a healthy life. Physical activity keeps you fit and lowers the risk of heart disease and circulation problems. Exercise helps you to lose weight. 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. In this way, it can also motivate you to increase your daily exercise. The activity sensor also has a sensor for measuring your heart rate.
This allows you to measure your heart rate in real time on your wrist. With the free “beurer HealthManager” app, you can easily transfer your motion activity from the activity sensor to your smartphone. This means that you can easily get a clear view of your recordings on your smartphone at any time. You can view the heart rate recordings via live tracking (only possible using the app) using third-party provider apps.
You can also be notified of messages (text message, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger) or calls received, all with the convenience of a device worn on the wrist. As a result, you see key information at a glance and keep up to date with all your notifications.

The activity sensor in combination with the “beurer HealthManager” app offers the following functions:

• Display of time and date
• Heart rate measurement
• Display of steps taken
• Display of calorie consumption
• Display of distance covered each day
• Display of active time
• Display of progress towards daily target (in percent %)
• Presentation of individual sleep phases
• Move reminder
• Notification of messages received on your smartphone (e.g. text message, WhatsApp).
• Notification of calls received on your smartphone.

Functions

Overview of functions
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 activity senso

Time/date/battery indicator

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

Activity

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

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)

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

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

Daily target
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.

Heart rate
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.

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 measured 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 sufficient contact with the skin and is free of skin particles and dust. Then press the “Touch” button again to activate the heart rate measurement.

3. To stop the heart rate measurement, press and hold the “Touch” button 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 = maximum 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: h

| “Fat Burning” appears on the display if your current heart rate is between 50% and 60% of your maximum heart rate.
---|---
| “Aerobic” appears on the display if your current heart rate is between 60% and 70% of your maximum heart rate.
| “Steady” appears on the display if your current heart rate is between 70% and 80% of your maximum heart rate.
| “Anaerobic” appears on the display if your current heart rate is between 80% and 90% of your maximum heart rate.
| “Maximal” appears on the display if your current heart rate exceeds 90% of your maximum heart rate.

Frequently asked questions

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 offer 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.)

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 differ from the actual distance.

How can I analyse my activity and sleep data?
