    swimming and water sports.

    Measuring body composition 
    Your TomTom Touch can measure your body composition. Body composition is the percentage of 
    body fat and muscle mass in your body and is a key indicator of fitness. 
    Every time you take a body composition reading, wear your fitness tracker for at least 15 minutes 
    first so that it can warm up.  
    						
    							14 
     
     
     
    Important: For an accurate result, take your body composition measurement reading at the same 
    time of the day. 
     
    Swipe to two screens above the clock screen of your fitness tracker, where you see a percentage 
    sign. Press and hold the button until you see a tick mark on the screen. You can now view your body 
    composition reading in the mobile app by going to the Progress menu, tapping the grey graph 
    button (top right hand side) and selecting Body. 
     
    Tips for measuring body composition 
     Dont touch the side of your body with your arm, and do not touch your wrists or hands to each 
    other as this can cause inaccuracies. 
      
    						
    							15 
     
     
     
     Do position your index finger on the button, forming a straight line with the screen of the 
    tracker. Make sure you cover the whole button with your finger. 
     
     If a cross is displayed instead of a tick, try wetting your finger so you can wet the skin on your 
    wrist under the electrode.

    About activity tracking 
    You use your TomTom Touch to track how active you are. Here are some of things you can do: 
     Create a body goal for fat, muscle or weight. 
     Create a steps goal for number of steps per day or per week. 
     Create a sports goal for, for example, cycling, running or gym work. 
     Track time spent being physically active, steps, calories burned and distance moved. 
     See your daily and weekly progress for your set goal. 
     Upload your activity tracking data to the TomTom MySports website and TomTom MySports 
    mobile app. 
    Reviewing your activity in MySports 
    You can see your progress against your daily activity tracking goal on the dashboard page both in 
    the MySports mobile app and on the MySports website. The dashboard is up to date and reflects the 
    last time data was synced from your TomTom Touch. 
    You can find more detail in the Progress section when you select Activity Tracking as a type, or if 
    you click on your activity tracking goal. You can change metrics by clicking on the labels below the 
    graph. You can also change the time period to daily, weekly, monthly or yearly.

    Information recorded by your TomTom Touch 
    Your TomTom Touch Fitness Tracker automatically tracks sleep and active time, calories burned, 
    steps and distance. The calculations are based on built-in heart rate and motion sensors as well as 
    your user profile which comprises age, gender, height and weight.  
    Note: Your TomTom Touch does not contain a GPS chip and hence the distance statistics are 
    approximated based on your steps. 
    You can see your daily stats by swiping through the screens below the clock face on the TomTom 
    Touch. You can also see your statistics on the MySports website and in the MySports app when you 
    sync your TomTom Touch.  
    In the app and on the website you can see workout-specific stats as well as overall progress and 
    progress against any goals you have set.    
    Tip: You can also see your 24/7 heart rate measurements if you have enabled All day heart rate 
    in the Device menu of the MySports app. 
    Activity Tracking Accuracy 
    Activity tracking aims to provide information to encourage an active and healthy lifestyle. Your 
    TomTom Touch Fitness Tracker uses both sensors and calculations to track your activity. The data 
    and information provided is intended as a close estimation of your activity, but may not be 
    completely accurate, including step, sleep, distance and calorie data.   
    Tracking your activity 24/7 
    1. Swipe the display to view your activity metrics. 
    The metrics are: 
     Steps 
     Distance walked 
     Active time 
     Sleeping time 
     Calories burned 
    2. If you have a daily activity goal, you see a circular goal icon above your chosen metric and 
    above the clock. This goal icon fills up each day as you move towards achieving your goal.
