- 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.
Reminders and Targets
Reminders
: Your SenseWear Armband can remind you of important events in your routine (i.e.,
take medication) by playing a sound at the time you set.
Targets
: Your SenseWear Armband can indicate when you’ve reached certain health targets like
activity calories burned or heart rate levels (with the use of a heart rate monitor).
Both Reminder and Target feedbacks automatically stop after a few seconds. You can stop the
feedback sooner by pressing the Timestamp button while wearing the SenseWear Armband.
Feedback with a heart rate monitor
Receiving
: This sound indicates that the SenseWear Armband has detected and is working with the
heart rate monitor.
Disconnected
: You’ll hear this sound when you remove the heart rate monitor, or reception between
the heart rate monitor and the SenseWear Armband is broken. If reception breaks, make sure that
the heart rate monitor is making good contact against your chest. Moisten sensors on the heart rate
monitor if they are dry to improve contact.
If your InnerView software enables the setting of heart rate targets, you’ll hear the following
feedback from you SenseWear Armband:
In heart rate zone
: To discover whether you are within your target heart rate zone, press the
Timestamp button while wearing your heart rate monitor. If you are within your target zone, you’ll
hear the “Ready” sound followed by the “In heart rate zone” sound.
Out of heart rate zone
: Press the Timestamp button while wearing your heart rate monitor. If you
are out of your target heart rate zone, you’ll hear the “Ready” sound followed by the “Out of heart
rate zone” sound.
The Timestamp button
The Timestamp button serves 4 functions:
1. Make Timestamps
Pressing the Timestamp button while wearing the SenseWear Armband puts a “stamp” in time that
marks an activity that you define (i.e., drank a glass of water, took your medication, etc.).
Timestamps can be very helpful in tracking your patterns and progress toward your health goals.
The SenseWear Armband automatically records Timestamps and populates the information in your
InnerView software when you upload your body data. Timestamps appear as small markers in the
context of your body data on the exact times you pressed the Timestamp button.
2. Check on-body status
The Timestamp button has a second use while on the body. While wearing the SenseWear Armband,
you can ensure that it is collecting your body data by pressing and holding the Timestamp button
