Calibration On The Actitrainer Client - ActiGraph ACTITRAINER User Manual

• The user must walk or run a known distance. This distance will be needed later in order to complete the
calibration.
• The user must walk or run for at least 1 minute. Anything less will result in an error when the calibration is
halted.
• Calibration must be stopped immediately after running/walking a known distance. Failure to stop the
calibration workout or walking/running further than the known distance will result in inaccurate calibration
data or an error during the calibration process. Also, doing a cool-down walk after a run will cause the
calibration to fail.
• Although recommended, it is not necessary that both a walk and run calibration be performed at the same
time. They can be done independently or not at all if one or the other is seldom used (for example, if the
ActiTrainer is seldom worn while running)
If an error occurs during calibration, the main screen of the ActiTrainer will periodically flash the "ERR" symbol in
the lower right-hand-corner to indicate that there was indeed a problem during calibration. This message can be
removed by resetting the most recent calibration run or walk (see
plugging the ActiTrainer into a PC running the most recent version of the ActiTrainer client application and
following the instructions.

Calibration on the ActiTrainer Client

Entering Calibration Distances
In order to complete the calibration process, the ActiTrainer must be connected to a PC running the ActiTrainer
client application (version 3.0.0 or later) sometime after completing a calibration workout. When the device is
detected, the application will prompt the user to enter the known distance for both the walk and the run.
The ActiTrainer is not calibrated until this step is complete. You must complete this step before the distance and pace
accuracy will improve.
