About the AM-160
Features of the AM-160
Thank you for purchasing the AM-160 Activity Monitor. Simply wear this device to measure the total amount of energy you expend in one day. This device also has a Bluetooth® communication function allowing you to connect to your iPhone® and manage your measurement data easily on your iPhone. This allows you to take a closer look at your daily activities and make changes and improvements to your routine.
Resting Your activity is classified as “Resting” when you are sleeping or sitting still.
Even when resting, your body expends energy (resting metabolism).
Daily Activities Your activity is classified as “Daily Activities” when you are carrying out activities that
do not involve walking or running but expend more energy than resting. “Daily Activities” is used for desk work, housework and other activities performed while standing or sitting still.
Walking
Your activity is classified as “Walking” when you walk continuously for six seconds or more. If you walk briefly for less than six seconds, this is considered to be incidental movement
and classified as “Daily Activities”.
Running
Your activity is classified as “Running” when you run continuously for six seconds or more. If you run briefly for less than six seconds, this is considered to be incidental movement and classified as “Daily Activities”.
*Measurements for each category can be viewed in the Health Planet app.
Various apps are available for easy management of your health. Select the apps that are best for you and download them to your iPhone. You can also use apps that link to other Tanita communication devices to manage other health-related information along with your activity. If you download the Tanita Health Planet app, you can send the data to your iPhone easily.
This device contains Calorism Engine PRO, which automatically classifies your activity levels into four categories – resting, daily activities, walking and running – through activity movement analysis performed every six seconds.
Apps for managing your health
This device supports Bluetooth communication (v4.0, Low Energy). You can connect it to your iPhone and manage your level of activity easily on your iPhone.

Inserting/Replacing the Battery
The battery can be removed easily by prizing off the part shown in the figure with a fine-tipped object.
Reconnect the Activity Monitor to your iPhone after replacing the battery (see p.8).
Battery power is running low. The device cannot communicate.
The following indicators are displayed when the battery is low. When these indicators appear, replace the battery with a new CR2032 battery as soon as possible.
* The battery provided is a test battery, and may therefore have a short service life.
*The battery is designed to be difficult to remove by hand to prevent infants and small children from swallowing the battery. *After removing the battery, wait for the display to go blank before inserting the new battery.
Battery power has run out. The device cannot take measurements or communicate.
NOTE
Do not replace the battery between 11:55 pm and 12:05 am (midnight). Doing so may interfere with the data.
Measured values are recorded to the memory once every hour on the hour (e.g. 3:00pm). If, for example,
the battery is replaced at 3:35pm, the measured values from 3:00 to 3:35pm will be lost.
・ To keep as much of the data as possible, we recommend changing the battery at around one minute past
the hour (e.g. 3:01pm).
Keep batteries out of reach of infants and small children.
Otherwise, they may swallow a battery. In the event of swallowing, consult a doctor immediately.

How to Use the Activity Monitor Correctly : Wearing
TOP
We recommend wearing the Activity Monitor at chest level to ensure accurate monitoring of physical activity that primarily uses the upper body.
NOTE
Wear the Activity Monitor at chest level to measure daily activities that primarily use the upper body,
such as desk work and housework.
The Activity Monitor can be worn in a waist belt, etc. during activities such as walking or jogging.
However, this may not accurately measure activities that primarily use the upper body.
Do not put the Activity Monitor in your trouser pocket. This may over-measure your activity due to
the movement of your legs during walking or running.
About the Anti-slip Strap
NOTE
Do not pull hard on the anti-slip strap while the clip is closed. This may damage the fabric, etc. to which the clip is attached. Take care not to attach the clip to items such as thick belts. This may break the clip.
Put the Activity Monitor in Your Chest Pocket
We recommend using the anti-slip strap (see p.5).
Do not put the Activity Monitor in the back pocket of trousers, etc. It may break and cause you injury.
Wear the Activity Monitor with the Slide Clip
Attach the clip to your clothing, belt, etc. We recommend also using the anti-slip strap (see p.5).
Attach the Activity Monitor to the slide clip in the direction shown by the arrow in the figure on the left.
Wear the Activity Monitor Underneath Your Clothing Using a Commercially Available Neck Strap
Do not wear the Activity Monitor outside your clothing if using a neck strap. This may cause over-measurement of your activity if the Activity Monitor swings back and forth.
NOTE

While configuring the settings
Page 12
How to Use
*Less than seven seconds of walking is categorized as daily activities and is reflected in the energy expended by physical activities.
*The total energy expenditure increases even if the Activity Monitor does not detect movement, due to resting energy expenditure.
Even in a rested state without any physical activity, the human body is consuming energy, and the software of the Activity Monitor is designed to account for this.
*The Activity Monitor has a power save mode. If no movement is detected for around three minutes, the display turns off. The
display is restored by detection of movement or by pressing any of the buttons.
The Activity Monitor calculates the start of walking to prevent erroneous measurement.
NOTE

Collecting Your Measurement Data
TOP
Measurement data collection while wearing the Activity Monitor
Simply wear this device to measure the total amount of energy you expend in one day. Unlike conventional pedometers, the Activity Monitor measures not only your number of steps but the amount of energy you expend in all physical activity.
If movement is steady for at least seven seconds, this is assessed to be walking, and the number of steps taken during those seven seconds is displayed. When movement stops temporarily, the measured number of steps is not added unless there is steady movement for at least seven seconds again.
Do not use this product in areas where the use of devices emitting radio waves is prohibited, such as on aircraft or in hospitals.
WARNING
PROHIBITED
This may cause measurement equipment to malfunction, leading to a serious accident. This device may emit radio waves. Remove the battery or do not bring it into such areas. If bringing the Activity Monitor with you when flying, we recommend storing it in your checked baggage, as it may be confiscated by security if it is in your hand luggage.

Sending Measurement Data to Your iPhone
When instructed to by the app, press and hold the “ ” button of the Activity Monitor for two seconds or more.
“ ” is displayed after this, indicating that a connection can be made within the next two minutes. (“ ” flashes during communication.)
The measurement data is sent to the iPhone and “ ” turns off.
REQUEST
Measured values are recorded to the memory once every hour on the hour. To ensure that accurate measure-
ment data is sent, we recommend that you do not send data within five minutes before or after the hour.
 → This may cause data loss if the clock of the Activity Monitor is not accurate.
Try to send measurement data each day
 → The Activity Monitor can store 15 days of data (including the current day), but from the 16th day, the
oldest data is overwritten with the new data.
Measurement data cannot be sent to multiple iPhones.
 → Data that has already been sent cannot be resent.
