2 If you still do not hear the “ready” sound, slide off the SenseWear Armband and press the

Timestamp button.
3 All 6 lights will flash on. Then the power (P) lights will indicate the charge status. If all 3 power
lights are not lit or the smallest light is flashing, the battery is too low to function.

4 Return it to the cradle and recharge it.
5 After recharging, slide the SenseWear Armband onto your arm.
6 If you still do not hear the “turning on” sequence, place the SenseWear Armband in the cradle and

use the diagnostics in your InnerView software.

Problem

:

Your SenseWear Armband plays the “Alert” signal.

Do this

:

1 When you receive this sound/vibration alert, slide off the SenseWear Armband and press the
Timestamp button.

2 The lights will display the battery and memory status.

- If there are no lights or sounds, the battery is probably too low to continue wearing. Place your

SenseWear Armband in the cradle to charge.

- If the memory (M) lights are flashing, you do not have enough memory to continue wearing it.

Upload your body data to your InnerView software.

- If the power (P) lights are flashing, you do not have enough power to continue wearing it. Place

your SenseWear Armband in the cradle to charge.

- If you get the “alert” sound again and all 6 lights flash, there is a system problem. Place the
SenseWear Armband in the cradle and use the diagnostics in your InnerView software. The
diagnostics will check your Armband and resynchronize it with your InnerView software.

Care and maintenance

Handling

Avoid dropping the Armband or cradle as this may cause serious damage. Though the SenseWear
Armband was designed for wearability and long-term use, rough handling can break internal

components. When not wearing the SenseWear Armband, keep it in the cradle to avoid accidental
damage and to ensure a full charge when you are ready to use it.

Avoid exposing the SenseWear Armband and cradle to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight,
moisture, sand, dust, or mechanical shock.

To prevent possible damage to the cables, grasp the plug, not the cable, when disconnecting either
the serial connector or the power supply. Also, do not wrap the cable around the charging base.
Replace cables if they become frayed.

Never touch the four metal contacts in the cradle with your fingers or with any metal objects.
Touching them could cause them to deform, result in a short circuit of the power supply, or prevent

the cradle from charging properly.

The Armband is splash resistant. But it is not designed to be used underwater or come in continuous

contact with water. To prevent a shock hazard, never use the SenseWear Armband in water
environments (e.g., in the shower, swimming pool, or rain).

Maintenance

Do not attempt to open the SenseWear Armband or cradle yourself. They contain no user-
serviceable parts. Refer all servicing to qualified BodyMedia service personnel. Servicing is required

when the product has been damaged in any way, such as power supply cable or plug is damaged,
liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the Armband or cradle, the Armband or cradle has
