Intended Use

parameters. These objective health metrics assist you to maintain a healthy weight
and an active lifestyle, which are continually cited as the keys to combating and
managing serious medical conditions including obesity, cardiovascular disease and
diabetes. The information presented by the system can be used by your physician
or healthcare practitioner in the assessment and treatment of medical conditions
influenced by weight and activity.
Risks and Benefits
The predominant benefit of the product is enabling of the monitoring and manage-
ment of daily metabolic and lifestyle data in order to reach your activity and weight
goals. In addition to weight management, known benefits of increasing activity
levels include increased life expectancy, improved sleep, and enhanced appearance
and self perception.
Analysis and post market surveillance indicate that risks of using the products are
extremely low. No significant health risks have been identified. The most frequently
reported health risk, occurring in less than 1% of users, is a mild to severe skin irri-
tation resulting from wearing the Armband. The issue is often resolved by following
proper wear and cleaning guidelines. Skin irritation may still occur for individuals
with highly sensitive skin or for those with a specific allergy to materials used in
the Armband and/or strap. It is best to discontinue use and consult a physician
regarding skin irritations.
If you have a known metal allergy, consult your physician prior to using the
Armband. Read the instructions provided and review the Cautions section of this
manual before using the Armband or optional Display.

steps.
The Armband and Display must be synchronized before the Display will function
properly. Information is transmitted every 60 seconds from the Armband to the
Display as long as they are in sync. If data is not received from the Armband for 5
minutes, the Display will revert to a NOT IN SYNC mode and display the TIME.

Armband to work properly. Even if you are wearing the Armband and Display
and the Display reads “NOT IN SYNC”, the Armband is still collecting data and
functioning properly.
When the Display is in sync and you achieve one of your daily targets, the Display
will notify you with a series of beeps and a scrolling message stating which target
has been reached. To stop the scrolling or beeping, press the RESET TRIP button
once.

If the digits on the Display are faded, and you cannot establish a connection to the
Armband, then the battery may require replacing. The Display comes equipped
with a replaceable CR-2032 coin cell battery with an expected life of 6-12 months
under normal use. When the battery needs to be replaced, it is recommended that
you bring the Display to a jeweler or watch vendor. To replace the battery yourself:
1. Make sure you have a fresh CR-2032 coin cell battery, a #0 size Phillips head
screwdriver, and a soft cloth.
2. Remove the Display unit from the clip.
3. Turn the unit over onto a soft cloth, revealing the underside, and remove the
four small screws that attach the metal back plate to the Display. Only remove
the screws on the metal back plate, do not remove the screws on the edge of the
Display.
4. Remove the old battery.
5. Press any button on the Display for 10 seconds.
6. Place the new battery with the (+) side facing up.
7. Ensure that the black o-ring gasket remains properly seated in the groove to
provide a watertight seal.
8. Reattach the back plate, with the text facing up. Ensure that the arrow that says
up (on the inside of the metal back) points towards the top of the device.
9. Once attached, turn the unit over and press any button to wake the Display to
test if the battery is working and replaced correctly.
10. Once the battery is replaced, you will need to reset the Display. Simultaneously
press all 4 buttons, “MODE” + “VIEW” + “LIGHT” + “RESET TRIP” for 5 seconds
