Workout Mode
Workout mode is used when running, exercising or just when
activity is expected to be above normal. This mode presents three
advantages: 1) The display text size is increased making it easier to
read while running, walking or working out, 2) a workout timer is
displayed so the user knows how long he or she has been engaged
in the "workout", 3) data collected during the workout is logged
and can be reviewed at any time on the device after the workout is
complete and 4) provides a detailed view of activity in the Virtual Trainer after the data has been uploaded.
To turn Workout mode on, navigate the ActiTrainer device menu and select Start Workout. It will ask to confirm
start of Workout, and will then ask you to select whether you will wear the device on your Hip or on your Arm. By
Selecting where you are wearing it assures the accuracy of the data that is collected. Note that the ActiTrainer data
is more accurate when worn on the hip.
To turn Workout mode off, press either button on the device and select "Yes" when prompted to stop the
workout. Selecting "Menu" from this prompt will display the selections menu discussed below. This menu allows
the data parameters to be added or removed from the workout display. Workout mode is automatically stopped if
the device is plugged into the USB port of a PC for charging or uploading of data.
Similar to Lifestyle mode, data collected during the workout is scrolled through every 3 seconds. Table 1
summarizes the options available for display while in Workout mode. Items can be added to or removed from the
scrolling list (see "Selecting Data to Display" below). The default selections for real-time data display during
Workout Mode are Calories burned, Steps taken, Current Heart Rate, Pace (minutes per mile), and Distance
traveled.
It is important to note that the calories burned during a workout DO NOT INCLUDE BMR CALORIES but
rather just calories burned above the Basal Metabolic Rate. This differs from the Lifestyle mode, where the display
indicates total calories consumed by the user (includes BMR).
Sleep Monitoring
The ActiTrainer can be worn on the wrist at night to help determine sleep efficiency. There is no special mode
that the device must be placed in; it can simply continue to run in normal lifestyle mode. If desired, the display can
be turned off (See
"Turning Off the
Display" below) to reduce the light while sleeping. The unit will continue to
collect sleep data regardless of the state of the display.
Sleep data can be reviewed by uploading the data to the Virtual Trainer and entering in the "Time in Bed" and
"Time out of Bed" in the SleepTracker (see "Virtual Trainer" below). The SleepTracker will provide sleep
efficiency and total estimated time asleep as well as a graph of the entire sleep cycle.
