Heart rate
The PS-500 reads and records your heart rate from the changes in light
reflected through the blood vessels in your wrist.
Calories
PULSENSE calculates the actual burned calories based upon the body motion
and the heart rate information, which is related very closely to the calories
burned, enabling more detailed calorie calculation. When heart rate
measurement is disabled, the PS-500 will calculate calories based on body
motion only.
Steps
Records the number of steps and calculates the distance using the
accelerometer to measure your body movement. This function enables you to
consciously track your general activity, so you can make small changes to
become more active.
Distance
The distance is calculated approximately from the step count and your height.
Note:
Irregular arm movements may effect the reading on the steps and distance counters.
