Summary 

Please read this manual carefully before you use 
your new device so that you do not injure 
yourself or others, or cause damage to your new 
device through improper use. 

 

The 

Activ8rlives 

Buddy Step Counter 

is a simple electronic wearable device, which allows 

you to monitor your physical activity and energy expenditure—especially useful as part of 
an exercise schedule, overall health and wellbeing or weight loss programme.  

It sends information to your private FREE 

Activ8rlives 

account via a USB connection with 

your PC. You can see how well you are doing and keep track of your health and wellbeing. 
You can stay committed to your goals by forming groups with other members of your 
family, club, school or by joining our online communities. By working together in groups, 
we are more successful in achieving our health 

goals. 

Activ8rlives 

is designed to help you 

achieve this. 

The 

Activ8rlives

 

Buddy Step Counter 

does a lot more than just count your steps—it helps 

you understand how your activity changes throughout the week. It measures your activity 
and calculates your energy expenditure in calories, the distance you have walked or run 
and the total active time during each day.  

When you view your data with either the 

Activ8rlives 

website or App, this device will help 

you to work out how close to your target values you are at any given time. This manual 
shows you how to quickly set-up your 

Activ8rlives 

Buddy Step Counter 

— it will take just 5-

10 minutes if you follow this guide through.

 

Optional: 

Included is a FREE Smartphone App, which also tracks your food intake via our 

photo-based Food Diary and these images are sent directly to your Free 

Activ8rlives 

account. Your activity, body composition and food intake can then all be viewed on a single 
page. Talk about cause and effect—very powerful.

 

If in any doubt about your health, please consult your medical team first and follow their 
advice closely

.
