The NL-2160 Lifecorder PLUS is an accurate and reliable downloadable accelerometer with 60 days of memory. On the display you'll find steps, steps target, activity time, activity time target, time of day and a "scrollable" activity intensity graph. More features--total calories, activity calories, activity calories target and distance--can be displayed on the LCD of the Lifecorder PLUS accelerometer, but enabling these features requires the purchase of the Physical Activity Analysis Software (PAAS) Lifestyle Coach (see software below). Once data is downloaded via a USB connection to one's PC using the free Lifestyle Coach PAAS (Physical Activity Analysis Software), one can view steps in relationship to one's steps target, activity time in relationship to one's activity time target, activity calories in relationship to one's activity calories target, total calories (inclusive of BMR calories), distance (using a default stride length), one's weight and a pie chart showing the amount of light, moderate and vigorous activity.

Much more sophisticated than a pedometer, the Lifecorder PLUS accelerometer monitors the intensity and duration of a person’s activity. Once data is transmitted to the Lifecorder PLUS software, it is easy to spot patterns and trends in activity. Patterns of sedentary behavior become easy to target and change. In this way, the Lifecorder PLUS uses technology to encourage and motivate people to get up, get out, and get moving.

Software:

• Lifestyle Coach PAAS is for researchers, wellness coaches, and allied health professionals. It's offers display lock, memory loop or lock, database import/export, and many other powerful features. PAAS Lifestyle Coach is sold separately for $495. (Windows 2000/XP 32-bit & Windows Vista/7 32/64-bit compatible).

The NL-2200 Lifecorder EX accelerometer is an accurate and reliable activity monitor. In addition to counting steps, it calculates the calories expended, computes basal metabolic rate (BMR) and stores 200 days of data that can be extracted by health professionals responsible for modifying client/patient physical activity behavior. Much more sophisticated than a pedometer, the Lifecorder EX monitors the intensity and duration of a person’s activity. Once data is transmitted to the PAAS Lifestyle Coach, it is easy to spot patterns and trends in activity. Patterns of sedentary behavior become easy to target and change. In this way, the Lifecorder EX uses technology to encourage and motivate people to get up, get out, and get active.

NL-2200 Lifecorder EX Accelerometer Features:

• 200 Day Downloadable Memory
• 7 Day Memory on Display
• 9 Intensity Zones
• Displays Steps, Kcals and % Goal
• Calculates BMR
• Direct USB Link to PC
• Event Marker Key
• Dimensions: 2 3/4" x 1 1/2" x 3/4"
• Weight: less than 2 ounces

LC-1: How do I reset my LIFECORDER accelerometer?
You’ll find a small gray RESET button underneath the battery compartment cover. It will reset the LIFECORDER accelerometers and all of their internal memory. All settings and data will be lost. To perform the reset, use a ball- point pen or the end of a paper clip to press and hold the RESET button. The LIFECORDER EX will sound a long tone to signal that the reset is complete. The LIFECORDER PLUS will sound one long tone and display "RESET OK?" on the display (LCD). To execute the reset, press the RESET button once more. The LIFECORDER PLUS sounds a quick short, then long recognition tone.

LC-2: Where do I download the Personal software for the LIFECORDER PLUS?
Please refer to the invoice that shipped with your LIFECORDER PLUS accelerometer. Both the URL (web address) and the login information (ID and password) were provided on your invoice. If you’ve misplaced your invoice, email NEW-LIFESTYLES, provide the name under which you ordered the device and request the information.

LC-3: I got my LIFECORDER wet. What should I do?
None of our pedometers or accelerometers are waterproof or water-resistant. Water can damage your device permanently, but sometimes one can survive an accidental drowning or trip through the washing machine. First, remove the case cover or battery cover. Remove and properly dispose of the battery. Replace the battery cover and place the device inside a plastic bag with some (a 1/2 cup or so) white rice for a day or so. The white rice will help to pull the moisture out of the device. Don’t use a hairdryer as excessive heat may damage the electronics. After the inside is dry install a new battery. If the display shows numbers, you were lucky this time! If not, you’ll need to purchase a new step counter, as water damage is not covered by the warranty.

LC-4: What safety standards does the LIFECORDER fulfill?
Splash Proof: IEC60529 IPX2, JIS C920
Safety and Reliability: CE, JIS S-7200, EMS (VCCI Class II Device)
Static Electricity Resistance: IEC1000-4-2

LC-5: Is the LIFECORDER Physical Activity Analysis Software (PAAS) Lifestyle Coach Windows 7 compatible?
Yes, but it is not Windows 8 compatible.

LC-6: Is the LIFECORDER Physical Activity Analysis Software (PAAS) Lifestyle Coach MAC compatible?
No, it is not.

LC-7: What is the battery life of the LIFECORDER PLUS, and what type of battery does it use?
The battery life of the LIFECORDER PLUS is 2 months, and it uses the CR-2032 battery.

LC-8: What is the battery life of the LIFECORDER EX, and what type of battery does it use?
The battery life of the LIFECORDER EX is 6 months, and it uses the CR-2032 battery.

LC-9: Will I lose my data when I change the battery?
The LIFECORDER accelerometers store physical activity data into non-volatile memory every 30 minutes. When changing the battery, one can lose a maximum of 30 minutes of data.

LC-10: What information does the LIFECORDER store?
The LIFECORDER measures steps and intensity and uses this information to calculate energy expenditure. Every 4 second period, the LIFECORDER determines an ‘Activity Level’ which is determined using not only the number of steps but the accelerometric signal (physical intensity) as well. These 4 second Activity Levels, where 1-3 is light, 4-6 is moderate, and 7-9 is vigorous, are accumulated in the internal memory and can be downloaded and exported as a raw CSV file using the research version (P.A.A.S. Professional and P.A.A.S. Lifestyle Coach software packages)of the software.

Exported reports show the total number of 4 second bouts accumulated in each intensity category (0-9). The example below shows the intensity levels and the number of 4 second periods spent in each level (each row represents one day):

Intensity0	Intensity1	Intensity2	Intensity3	Intensity4	Intensity5	Intensity6	Intensity7	Intensity8	Intensity9	Micro Activity
8372	146	369	242	477	22	176	0	0	0	11796
12158	166	313	68	120	87	587	84	6	17	7994
8572	141	222	80	828	37	150	0	2	0	11568
10784	171	274	77	182	2	60	1	0	0	10041
7058	381	510	230	263	87	506	4	0	0	12561

The LIFECORDER also stores the Activity Level computed in a two minute epoch for each 24-hour day (time stamp is on the left column; each of the four right columns represent a portion of a single day from 8:38pm to 9:06pm). A value of 0.5 represents 'micro activity' which is movement that is not considered to be ambulatory.
