NOTE: Use of the SenseWear Armband with a heart rate monitor is not intended to be a medical
device and is provided solely for your education and information. Neither the SenseWear Armband
nor a third party heart rate monitor is meant

Threading your adjustable strap
Your SenseWear Armband comes with two identical adjustable straps. One strap comes attached to
the Armband and the other is a spare to be used if you’re cleaning the first one. See the
Care and
maintenance
section of this guide for information on cleaning your adjustable strap. Follow these
steps to thread your adjustable strap into your Armband.
1. Hold the Armband upright with the sensors facing you. Take the square end of the adjustable
strap with the two Velcro pads and thread it through the narrow, vertical slot in the wing. The
Velcro pads should be facing you, with the edge of the wing in between the two pads.
2. Fold over the end of the strap and press the Velcro pads together.
3. Take the other end of the adjustable strap with the oval pull tab and thread it through the
narrow, vertical slot in the other wing. The Velcro side of the oval pull tab should be facing you.
4. Pull the strap through the slot in the wing and press the oval pull tab against the adjustable
band. Create a space that is approximately the size of the circumference of your upper arm.
5. When completed, the square end of the strap should be on the inside of the band and the oval
pull tab should be on the outside of band. Use the pull tab to adjust the size of the strap while on
your arm.
Understanding SenseWear feedback
Your SenseWear Armband can provide feedback about its status, whether on or off of your body.
There are also some features of your SenseWear Armband that provide feedback which you can
personalize.
Turning on sequence
The SenseWear Armband automatically turns on after making secure skin contact and performs the
following “turning on” sequence:
Welcome
: This sound indicates that the SenseWear Armband has made contact with your skin.
Warming up
: You’ll feel a series of light vibrations as it settles to your body.
Ready
: This sound indicates that the monitor is collecting your body data.
Turning off sequence
Goodbye
: When you slide off the SenseWear Armband or if contact with your body is interrupted for
more than 10 seconds, it will play the “goodbye” sound, indicating that it is no longer collecting
data. Always wait until you hear the “goodbye” sound before placing the Armband in the cradle.
System Alert
The SenseWear Armband will warn you with an insistent “alert” signal when the battery or memory
is low or if there is system problem.
1 When you receive this sound/vibration alert, slide off the SenseWear Armband and press the
Timestamp button once.
2 The lights will display the battery and memory status.
- If there are no lights or sounds, the battery is 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.
