Care and maintenance
Handling
Avoid dropping the Armband or cradle as this may cause serious damage. Though the SenseWear
Armband was designed for wearability and long-term use, rough handling can break internal
components. 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.
Avoid exposing the SenseWear Armband and cradle to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight,
moisture, sand, dust, or mechanical shock.
To prevent possible damage to the cables, grasp the plug, not the cable, when disconnecting either
the serial connector or the power supply. Also, do not wrap the cable around the charging base.
Replace cables if they become frayed.
Never touch the four metal contacts in the cradle with your fingers or with any metal objects.
Touching them could cause them to deform, result in a short circuit of the power supply, or prevent
the cradle from charging properly.
The Armband is splash resistant. But it is not designed to be used underwater or 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).

Do not attempt to open the SenseWear Armband or cradle yourself. They contain no user-
serviceable parts. Refer all servicing to qualified BodyMedia service personnel. Servicing is required
when the product has been damaged in any way, such as power supply cable or plug is damaged,
liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the Armband or cradle, the Armband or cradle has
