Getting Started Guide
Wearing the SenseWear®WMS armband
The SenseWear®WMS armband is designed to be
worn on the back of the upper left arm (the triceps
muscle), touching the skin.
Slide the SenseWear®WMS armband onto
your left arm.
Adjust the strap so that it fits on your arm
comfortably, then secure the Velcro pull-tab.
Ensure that the sensors maintain continuous
contact with your skin at all times and that
the armband does not slide off your arm.

2.
If you have a SenseWear®display, sync it
with the armband by pressing the mode
button and view button simultaneously
and then pressing the Status button on the
SenseWear®WMS armband. A Welcome
message will appear on the display when
you have successfully synced the armband to
the display. For more information, see your
SenseWear®display Instructions For Use.
Status Indicators
There is no on/off button on your SenseWear®WMS
armband. When the monitor makes secure contact
with your body, it automatically performs a “turning
on” sequence. This may take up to ten minutes
for some people, depending on your physiological
factors.
3.
Press simultaneously
to sync.
CAUTION: Be careful not to over-tighhten
the Armband. If, at any time constriction
is felt or loss of circulation, simply lossen
the adjustable strap and re-fasten it to a
more comfortable setting.

Battery
The armband is powered by an internal lithium polymer cell battery.
During steady use the battery will last 5 - 7 days before needing
to be recharged. The battery should be fully charged before use
to provide the optimal device experience. Upload data from the
armband if it will not be used for an extended period of time to
avoid data loss.
To check the status of the battery, remove the armband and press
the Status button. The light to the left of the word “battery” will
turn on as follows:
Green (solid) = More than 24 hours of battery life remain.
Amber (pulsing) = Less than 24 hours of battery life remain.
Red (flashing) = The armband will not collect data. Charge
the battery before continuing use.
If the user is wearing the armband, a sound will alert him/her when
there is less than 24 hours of battery life remaining. When the bat-
tery is too low to operate, the alert will become more urgent.
In addition to the battery status light on the armband, one can
also view the amount of battery life that is left every time data is
uploaded. This value is located below the upload status bar.
To recharge the battery, remove the wing/strap assembly from the
sensing module. Plug the USB cord into the PC and the armband
and the battery will begin charging. The battery charges via the
USB cable from dead to full capacity in approximately 3 hours.

Troubleshooting
My armband is not automatically turning on when I slide it on my arm.
If your armband has not turned on within 10 minutes of putting it on, try lightly
moistening the back of your upper arm with water and slide the armband on again.
It should turn on within a few minutes. If the problem persists, please contact
Technical Support.
When I try to upload data from my armband, I get an error message.
If you are having difficulty uploading your armband data, it could be one of several
reasons. Please double check the following and try again. If the problem still per-
sists, please contact Technical Support.
If you are uploading wirelessly, make sure you are within 10 feet of your
PC. If you wander outside of this range, the upload may not work. Also,
make sure that your armband has had a chance to turn on. It can take
up to 10 minutes for the armband to turn on after you have put it on your
arm.
If you are uploading via the USB cable, make sure the cable is connected
to the armband and the port on the back of your PC.
Make sure your battery is not too low. To make sure that the armband is
powered on and the battery is functioning, press the Status button while
the armband is on your arm. If it produces the low sequence when you
push it, the battery is too low. If it produces the very low sequence, the
battery is drained. When you plug the USB cable in while uploading, if the
battery light is red, it needs to be recharged before you can upload.
Make sure you have the USB driver installed on the computer you are
using. If you are using a computer that is different than the one you used
during registration and set-up when you first received the armband, you
1.

Getting Started Guide
may need to download the software that enables you to retrieve your data
from the armband to the computer. This is called the USB driver.
NOTE: When installing the support software on your machine, make
sure the armband or wireless communicator is NOT plugged into the
USB cable! This will cause the driver to fail to install. If this happens,
simply unplug the armband or wireless communicator from the USB
cable and plug it in again. The driver will then install properly.
My armband is not responding. It seems to be off, and I cannot get it to come back
on.
Press the Status button. If the battery or memory lights are flashing red, either the
battery needs to be recharged or the memory is full. If after pressing the Status
button you still receive no feedback (no light or sound), try recharging the battery, it
may have drained while you were not wearing the armband. If after recharging the
battery you still do not receive feedback, please contact technical support and they
will help solve the issue.
My armband is beeping while it is on my arm.
Solution 1: Press the Status button. If the battery light is flashing red or amber, the
battery is low and will need to be recharged.
Solution 2: Press the Status button. If the memory light is flashing red or amber,
the memory is low and you must upload the data and clear to continue collecting
data.
Solution 3: You may have reminders set on your armband. Check this by clicking on
the Resources tab and clicking Reminders.
When I press the armband button, the armband does not respond.
Hold the armband button for 15 seconds, release the button and then recharge the
battery. Press the armband button again to see if it responds. Go into the software
and retrieve your data (upload) to re-sync your armband before wearing again.
Warning: Data loss may occur.
Data that I thought was on my armband has been erased.
Your armband may not have turned on. If this is the case, the armband did not
collect data or your battery may need to be recharged.

Be sure that both your arm and the sensors on the back of the armband are cleaned
daily. To clean the sensors, wipe with a soft, damp cloth. If you develop a rash
where the armband comes in contact with your skin, discontinue use and consult
your physician before continuing regular use of the armband. The design of the
armband involved many materials experts, physicians, and suppliers who are famil-
iar with wearable materials and products.
CAUTION: Each material was chosen for its precedent in other skin contact prod-
ucts or has been independently approved for skin contact. However, everyone’s
skin is different and wearers with very sensitive skin may experience irritation or
redness after wearing the armband. If this occurs, discontinue use and consult
your physician.
CAUTION: DO NOT IMMERSE THE ARMBAND IN WATER. The monitor is not
designed to be used underwater or to come in continuous contact with water. To
prevent a shock hazard, never use the armband in water environments (ex., in the
shower, swimming pool, or rain).
CAUTION: Though the SenseWear®WMS armband was designed for wearability
and long-term use, it is a sensitive monitoring device. Rough handling can break
internal components. Never drop or shock the armband and always store it in a
safe place when not in use.
CAUTION: Avoid exposing the armband to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight,
moisture, sand, dust, or mechanical shock.
