Caring for your SF-510/SF-710
Your Runsense product is made from materials commonly used in watches and other consumer products. Since you
may wear your product over extended periods, including when you are exercising and sweating, it is important that
you take care of your skin and your product according to these instructions. Prolonged wearing of your product
without proper care could lead to skin irritation or rash.
Please follow the precautions below to ensure full enjoyment and benefit of your Runsense product:
1Keep Runsense and skin clean:
OClean the back of your product and the skin beneath on a regular basis, particularly after exercise, to
remove trapped dirt, sweat, lotion, sunscreen and other potentially irritating substances. You may also
use a soft brush to clean the back of your product.
ODo not use household, abrasive, or commercial cleaners on the product.
OSweat can be corrosive because it contains salt. Remove the product, rinse your skin carefully and
thoroughly and wipe the Runsense product with a soft damp cloth to make sure that no sweat, soap,
lotion or other material remains on the skin or under the product before replacing it on your arm.
ODo not submerge the Runsense product in water or wear it in the shower or bath.
ODo not allow products such as soap, lotions, sunscreen, dirt and sweat to build up under the product.
2Keep Runsense and skin dry:
OIf your Runsense product gets wet, such as from sweating, remove after use and clean your wrist and
Runsense product thoroughly.
OMake sure that both the product and the skin beneath the product are thoroughly dry before replacing
on your arm.
ODo not let a wet Runsense product remain in contact with skin for prolonged periods of time.
3Give skin a rest and some air.
OYour Runsense product should be worn snugly—not too loose or too tight.
OWhen putting on the product, make sure it does not rest on your wrist bone (ulna). This will be
uncomfortable and also interfere with the operation of the sensor.
OAlthough your product is intended for extended wear, prolonged touching or rubbing could lead to skin
irritation. Give your skin a break by periodically removing the product for an hour or so. You must also
take off the product while it charges.
