4.1 Interesting facts about the activity sensor

This activity sensor enables you to check your daily amount of exer-
cise. It gives you an overview of your daily physical activity, deter-
mines the number of your steps and calculates your calorie consump-
tion.
The activity sensor has a dual display function which can show you,
for example, the time and number of steps simultaneously. You can
specify your typical step length with the basic settings, so that the
activity sensor is able to calculate your activity data from the walk-
ing/running speed. Depending on what type of exercise person you
are or what type of activity you do - slow, gentle movements, or quick
hard movements - the sensitivity of the activity sensor can be ad-
justed in five steps.

4.2 Three Level User Reward System

Your activity sensor has a "reward system", which gives a continual
feedback of your ongoing daily activities. The reward system divides
the daily goal into three levels. Depending on the level, the device
shows the corresponding symbol.
Level 1
You can set your daily goal from 3,000 to 10,000 in multiples of 1,000
steps according to your fitness level. The levels are based either on
the number of steps or the duration of the activity. In turn, the number
of steps is divided into two types of activities:
"Quick walking": more than 90 steps per minute
"Normal walking": less than 90 steps per minute
During the walking period it is possible to take breaks of 2 minutes
each which do not interrupt the evaluation.
Example: You have been walking quickly for 5 minutes in one go
and now want to cross a road. You have to wait at the traffic lights
