BACK TO START

The back to start feature guides you back to the starting point of your session.

To use the back to start feature:

1.Press and hold LIGHT. Quick menu is displayed.

2.Choose Set location guide on, Location guide arrow view set on is displayed, and M400 goes to Back to Start view.

To return to your starting point:

Keep M400 in a horizontal position in front of you.

Keep moving in order for M400 to determine which direction you are going. An arrow will point in the dir- ection of your starting point.

To get back to the starting point, always turn in the direction of the arrow.

The M400 also shows the bearing and the direct distance (beeline) between you and the starting point.

When in unfamiliar surroundings, always keep a map at hand in case the M400 loses the satellite signal or the battery runs out.

24/7 ACTIVITY TRACKING

M400 tracks your activity with an internal 3D accelerometer that records your wrist movements. It analyzes the frequency, intensity and regularity of your movements together with your physical information, allowing you to see how active you really are in your everyday life, on top of your regular training.

ACTIVITY GOAL

Your M400 gives you an activity goal each day and guides you in reaching it. The activity goal is based on your personal data and activity level setting, which you can find in the Daily Activity Goal settings in the Flow web service. Sign in to the Flow web service, click your name/profile photo in the upper right corner and go to the Daily Activity goal tab in Settings.

The Daily Activity goal setting lets you choose from three activity levels the one that best describes your typ- ical day and activity (see number 1 in the image below). Below the selection area (see number 2 in the image below), you can see how active you need to be to reach your daily activity goal on the chosen level. For example, if you're an office worker and spend most of your day sitting, you would be expected to reach about four hours of low intensity activity during an ordinary day. For people who stand and walk a lot during their working hours, the expectations are higher.
