For your initial use and best results, we recommend wearing the SenseWear Armband continuously
for three days, preferably three consecutive days. (Be sure to remove the SenseWear Armband to
shower and bathe. It is NOT waterproof). During this time, the SenseWear Armband will
automatically calibrate to your body, your patterns, and your routine. With every subsequent
upload, it will become more accurate and more personalized.
The more you wear your SenseWear Armband, the more information you’ll have to upload and
review in your InnerView software. Make sure to press the Timestamp button during your initial use
to “stamp” certain activities or events throughout your routine, like drinking water, taking
medication, or any lifestyle event that you want to track.
Note: For best results, especially when wearing the SenseWear Armband for sleep or physical
activity, wear it for 10 minutes before and after the activity.
CAUTION: DO NOT IMMERSE IN WATER. The monitor is splash resistant. But it is not designed to be
used underwater or to 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).
The SenseWear Armband currently has up to 4 days of battery power and up to 5 days of memory
under continuous use.
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.
For use with a heart rate monitor
The SenseWear Armband is designed to be compatible with the Polar Heart Rate Monitor (and other
brands of heart rate monitors). Wear the heart rate monitor with the SenseWear Armband for even
more accurate and personalized data during events like exercise and physical activity. The
SenseWear Armband will collect the heart rate data and upload it to your InnerView software. Wear
your heart rate monitor during your first week for events like exercise and physical activity so that it
can calibrate with your SenseWear Armband.
Wearing your SenseWear Armband with your heart rate monitor is simple.
1 Put on the SenseWear Armband and wait until the “turning on” sequence has completed.
2 Put on your heart rate monitor.
3 The SenseWear Armband’s receiver will automatically search for the heart rate monitor and play
the “receiving” sound when it finds your heart rate. You should hear the “receiving” sound within 10
seconds. See the
Understanding SenseWear feedback
section of this guide for more information.
If you’ve been wearing your Armband for more than 1 minute before you put on your heart rate
monitor, press and hold the Timestamp button on your SenseWear Armband for 3 seconds to tell
your Armband to search for the heart rate monitor. You should hear the “receiving” sound within 10
seconds.
4 When you’re finished using the heart rate monitor, remove it first, followed by the SenseWear
Armband. You will hear the “disconnected” sound when your SenseWear Armband is no longer
receiving your heart rate information.
Should you desire real-time heart rate information from your SenseWear Armband, you can set
heart rate targets that signal you during your activity when you’ve reached your target. Set your
heart rate targets in your InnerView software. If you want to see your number of heartbeats per
minute during your activity, wear a Polar watch with the SenseWear Armband.
Even when worn with the heart rate monitor, the SenseWear Armband has up to 5 days of memory
under continuous use.
