Actiwatch Guide to Getting Started 7.2 (July 2009)
Clicking on the ‘Sex’ field during the Actiwatch setup procedure
scrolls between ‘F’ and ‘M’.
The age field is a free text field allowing a 1 or 2 digit age to be
input.
It is possible to enter a delayed start date when setting up an
Actiwatch. Any date up to 7 days in the future can be specified.
This function is useful if several Actiwatches are to be fitted to
subjects on the same date or if Actiwatches need to be shipped
to a site once setup.
A delayed start time can be selected if required. This can be up
to 23.59 on the selected start date.
The epoch length is user selectable for each recording. The
range of epochs available is dependent on the model of
Actiwatch selected. Full details are given in the
Actiwatch User
Manual
.
The battery in the AW4, Mini, AWL and ActiLight is user
changeable. The battery life of each Actiwatch model is shown
in
Actiwatch Guide to Getting Started
.
Once the battery has been replaced, clicking on the ‘Battery
Fitted’ date in the software brings up the following screen:
Selecting ‘Yes’ will update the battery fitted date to the date
shown on the host PC and the battery life in days will be
updated. NB this is not applicable to the AW7 which has a
sealed battery. The battery life of the AW7 battery is 8 years of
continuous use. At the end of this period, the battery can be
changed by CamNtech.
Important Note: It is essential to click on the battery fitted
date as detailed above following the fitment of a new battery
– the software can not detect a new battery automatically.
