FEATURES

Active Engine

Active Engine is an exclusive technology designed by OMRON to measure physical activity intensity to provide a more accurate calculation of calories and fat grams burned. The HJA-301 measures the amount of calories and fat burned based on a concept call Metabolic Equivalent of Task or, MET. MET is used as a practical means of expressing the intensity and energy expenditure of physical activities in a way comparable among persons of different weight. Actual energy expenditure (e.g., in Kcal) during a physical activity depends on the person's body weight, therefore the energy cost of the same physical activity will be different for persons of different weight. For example, two people can run the same distance within a day, but the person with more body weight will most likely burn more calories. MET also take into account that each physical activity has a different level of intensity, so the Active Engine unit can accurately measure calories burned if you are going for a leisurely stroll through the mall or if you are running on a treadmill at the gym.

Workout Mode

The HJA-301 model can separately track your pace, distance, time spent exercising and calories burned in “Workout

Mode”. Press to begin or stop “Workout Mode”. The function stores a maximum of seven previous sessions, up to 30 minutes each. Once you reach 30 minutes in “Workout Mode”, your display will read “Good Job”.

Auto Stride Length

After you enter your height, your stride length will be automatically calculated. You can change this calculated length at any time based on your walking or running stride lengths.
