Water resistance
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).
Wear comfortably
Be careful not to over-tighten the SenseWear Armband while on your arm. If your arm begins to
tingle or you begin to lose feeling in your arm, loosen the adjustable strap and re-fasten.
Be sure that both your arm and the sensors on the back of the Armband are clean. To clean the
sensors, wipe with a soft, damp cloth. If you develop a rash where the SenseWear Armband comes
in contact with your skin, discontinue use and consult your physician before continuing regular use
of the Armband.
Do not use on an aircraft or in post facilities
The SenseWear Armband is not an FAA-approved electronic device for use on aircraft. Do not wear
the SenseWear Armband when in an aircraft. Never attempt to wirelessly communicate with the
SenseWear Armband on a plane
.
Do not wear the SenseWear Armband in healthcare facilities or where any posted regulations
restrict you from doing so. Hospitals or healthcare facilities could be using equipment that is
sensitive to external RF (radio frequency) energy.

About your SenseWear cradle
The SenseWear Armband cradle serves two functions: it recharges the battery in your SenseWear
Armband using the power supply cord and it communicates with the InnerView software using the
serial port in the back of your PC. The SenseWear Pro Armband can communicate wirelessly with
the cradle. That is, the Pro Armband needs to be within 10 feet of the cradle—not
in
the cradle—to
communicate with the InnerView software.
You can charge your Armband in the cradle whether or not the serial cable is plugged in to your PC,
as long as the power supply light on the plug is illuminated. But both connections, power supply and
serial port, must be made in order to communicate with your InnerView software.
NOTE: Always make sure that your cradle is set up correctly with its power supply plugged into the
outlet before placing Armband in the cradle. If you place the Armband in the cradle before the
cradle is plugged into the outlet, your Armband will need to be reset. See the
Resetting your
Armband
section in this guide for more information.
Setting up your cradle
1. Place the cradle on a flat surface near your PC (do NOT place your Armband in the cradle yet).
2. Plug the serial cable into the serial port (COM 1, if you have more than one port) on the back of
your PC. Be sure the cable is secure by screwing the 2 outer screws into the port.
Note: If you currently have a PDA cradle or other device plugged into your serial port you
will need to perform two tasks:
1.Unplug your PDA cradle or other device from your serial port and replace it with your
SenseWear cradle for each use.
2.Ensure that your PDA’s HotSync Setup is not set to be Always
Available. The Always Available setting prevents other devices from
using your serial port even when your PDA is not plugged into your
serial port. You will need to change this setting only one time.
