TRACK YOUR ACTIVITY

As soon as you’ve set up your A300, it automatically starts to
track your activity 24/7.

You’ll get a personal daily activity goal, and
A300 shows your progress towards the goal
by lling up an activity bar. View the activity
bar easily in time view.

In Activity menu you can see in more detail how active your day
has been so far and get guidance on how to reach your goal.

You can view your activity data visualized on Flow app or
Flow web service. There you can get details about your
physical activity and health benets that come with it.

The USB connector of your A300 is in the device inside the wristband.
You need to detach the wristband for setting up your A300 with a
computer, charging the battery and changing the wristband.

If you’re in a hurry for the rst active day with your A300, let’s do a
quick setup to get you going:

You can use your A300 only in English, if you do the quick setup. To
use it in other language, do the setup as described earlier.

Detach the wristband and plug your A300 into a computer or a 1.
USB charger to wake it up and charge the battery.

Set up your A300 by entering the basic settings on the device. 2.
Ready to go! is displayed when you’re done.

To get accurate activity and training data and to make sure you
get the latest software, please do the setup in Flow web service as
described earlier.

The A300 counts the steps you have taken and tells the
distance covered.

It shows calories you have burned.

Wear it while you sleep and it detects your sleep time and
quality. Check the sleep info from the Flow app or Flow web
service.

It is your personal motivator reminding you when you’ve
been still for too long and it’s time to move.
