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.

categories – resting, daily activities, walking and running – through activity movement analysis performed 
every six seconds.
