open your PDA’s Desktop application and go to HotSync then Setup).

b. In the Setup window, select the Manual option and click OK.

3. Plug the power supply jack into the back of the serial connector.

4. Flip down the power supply’s metal prongs and plug it into a nearby, accessible outlet.

When all connections are made, the orange cradle light turns on.

NOTE: If you are using a laptop computer, the power saving mode may prevent the orange cradle

light from turning on at this point.

Now, you are ready to charge the SenseWear Armband or communicate with your InnerView

software.

Charging your SenseWear Armband

Initial charge

The SenseWear Armband should be charged completely (this takes about 2 hours) before its first

use.

Subsequent charges

The SenseWear Armband has up to 4 days of battery power under continuous use. When not
wearing your SenseWear Armband, keep it in the cradle for safe storage and to ensure a full charge
when you’re ready to wear it. When removing your SenseWear Armband from your body, always

wait until you hear the “goodbye” sound before placing the Armband in the cradle.

1 Place the Armband in the cradle.

NOTE: Always guide the Armband against the back of the cradle when inserting it into the cradle.

Guiding the Armband against the front lip could bend the contacts on the cradle.

2 When the Armband is secure in the cradle, the 3 power lights (P) will begin flashing, indicating

that charging has begun. As the SenseWear Armband charges, each of the power lights (P) will
progressively turn to solid until all 3 lights are illuminated, indicating that it is fully charged. The
power lights remain illuminated until you remove the Armband from the cradle.

Note: Never unplug your cradle’s power supply from the outlet with the Armband in the cradle.
Always remove the Armband from the cradle before unplugging the cradle. If not, your Armband will

need to be reset. See the 

Resetting your Armband

 section of this guide for more information.

The SenseWear Armband is designed to keep your stored data even if the battery is too low to wear

the Armband. However, if your battery drains and you keep the Armband in an uncharged state for
an extended period of time, you may lose your stored data. In order to prevent the battery from
draining too low and losing your stored data, keep the Armband in the cradle whenever it is not

being worn.

Initialize and personalize your SenseWear Armband

Initialize

When the SenseWear Armband is fully charged, you must initialize it in your InnerView software

before wearing it for the first time. Initializing your SenseWear Armband exchanges important
information between your Armband and your InnerView software. Go to your InnerView software to
initialize your SenseWear Armband.
