an easy-to-use four-button interface and a large LCD screen to provide immediate feedback.
AMP Ankle Sleeve
Made from washable, medical-grade, hypoallergenic materials, the comfortable sleeve
stabilizes the pod on the ankle for optimal measurements.
AMP USB Stick
The small USB stick uses the ANT wireless communication protocol to upload the data from
the pod to your computer.

The AMP Ware software application controls the data uploads to your computer. The data
is formatted in a comma delimited text file for easy import into your preferred analysis
software.

AMP Activity Monitoring Pod
The AMP Activity Monitoring Pod is the central device that monitors, records, and displays
daily activity.
Power On and Off
To turn the pod on or off, hold down the UP button for 2 seconds. AMP displays briefly as
the monitor powers up before moving to the three main modes. Note that the pod can be
turned off only when there is no active monitoring session. Powering off the pod will not
erase previously collected data.
Modes
The SETUP mode allows you to configure your AMP Activity Monitoring Pod.
Use the TRIAL mode to manage a monitoring session. Data collected during a monitoring
session includes the amount of time spent in each of three activity classes (Inactive, Active,
and Locomotion), number of steps taken, caloric expenditure, distance traveled, and
locomotion speed.
Use the DATA mode to manage the collected data. View activity measurements from
previous days, upload data to your computer, or clear the collected data.
