Wearing The Actitrainer - ActiGraph ACTITRAINER User Manual

Wearing the ActiTrainer

The ActiTrainer is personalized to your biometrics and is designed to be worn 24 hours a day and provide feedback
on calories burned, steps taken, distance traveled and average, peak and instantaneous heart rate
ActiTrainer monitors sleep when worn on the wrist at night. When worn properly, the ActiTrainer will accurately
measure and log these vital parameters. This information is extremely useful for anyone interested in improving
their overall physical wellness.
The ActiTrainer can be worn on the upper arm or the waist. Caloric burn and distance calculations are more
accurate when the device is worn on the waist because the unit is closer to the center of mass of the body.
The Polar® Wearlink heart strap must be worn to collect heart rate data.
