Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

“Why is my data not getting through to my account?”There are several possible answers:

Make sure you have properly downloaded and installed the client software if using the ActiLink. Make sure that when you first get your ActiPed+ you walk at least 200 consecutive steps with an hour to

activate it. Check to make sure your ActiLink is properly connected to your USB port. Ensure your ActiPed+ is properly registered. Check your internet connection to ensure you are online. If you run a security/firewall program, make sure you have granted AHClient.exe permission to run. Make sure your PC has not logged you out, gone into power saving mode or hibernation. The ActiLink

needs a live internet connection to properly receive and transfer data. Make sure port 5000 is available through your corporate firewall.

“How long should my ActiPed/Pebble battery last?”

With normal activity the battery in the ActiPed should last 4-6 months. Employees will be responsible for replacing and changing the battery in their ActiPed/Pebble.

“How do I change the battery in my ActiPed?”

The battery is designed to be user-serviceable, so that you can change the battery yourself if you wish. If you are not comfortable with this task, you can take the ActiPed to a jeweler, watch vendor, or anybody else that replaces watch batteries and have the battery replaced.

The battery type is a standard CR2032 Lithium battery.

To change the battery, simply remove the 4 Philips head screws from the back of the ActiPed. (NOTE: You do NOT need to remove the Torx screws that hold the clip in place.) Once you lift the casing off, you will see two pry points under the battery that can be used to pry it out. Use your screwdriver to pry out the battery. Once you have placed

“Will my data be lost when I replace the battery in my ActiPed?”

No, your data will be saved and available after changing the battery.
