Armband Overview
SenseWear® Armband Positioning:
The armband is worn on the right tricep. The small grey button
(AKA "Timestamp") is considered the top of the unit. Slide the armband
over the right arm tricep with the unit facing the backside of the
arm. Tighten the strap comfortably so that the armband does
not move around.
Turning Unit On and Off:
The unit turns on automatically when it senses contact with your skin.
The unit will vibrate typically within 1 - 2 minutes notifying the
wearer that the unit is on. The tightness of the arm band
needs to be sufficient to make good skin contact, which becomes
apparent when the unit vibrates, informing the user that the unit is on.
When the unit is taken off, the unit vibrates again indicating
that the unit is off.
Cleaning The SenseWear® Armband:
The unit should be periodically cleaned with soap and water.
Rubbing alcohol can also be used. Do not overly soak the unit.
Dry with a damp towel.
The SenseWear® Armband is not water proof:
Do not swim, shower, or bath with the unit on your arm. The unit
is splash proof but not water proof.
Changing The Battery:
The battery, AAA, is located under the large grey cap. Remove
the cap and insert a new battery. The typical battery
life is two weeks. The USB cable port is located within the battery
compartment.
Checking Battery And Memory Status:
Press the "Timestamp" button (top of the unit) and note indicators. Green means
battery is good and memory is not full. Amber indicates
battery and memory are low but not exhausted...this is a good time to change
the
battery and upload data. Red indicates battery is expired and
memory is full. At this point, it is mandatory to change the
battery and upload data.

The business that provided the SenseWear® Armband has three sizes
