My dashboard is showing that my calories burned are growing. I am at work 10 miles from my base and apparently the Ultra can not sync with my smartphone. Why is this happening?

Because the software is programmed to know you burn calories all day, with or without motion, and it allocates it across the day.  It's called your BMR.

Your body burns calories just breathing, pumping blood, running your brain and all "under the hood" even though you're not conscious of it all. That's why you wake up in the morning with calories burned. How many is based on body weight.
