KEEP YOUR ARMBAND CHARGED

Your armband should last at least four days when fully charged. The UP
app will notify you when the battery is low. To charge your armband,
remove the sensor module from the strap, place the sensor module into
the dock and plug it into a USB port.

The status light will flash two times when fully charged. This may take
up to two hours.

HOW TO WEAR CORE

Wear on the back of your left tricep (your arm and CORE should be clean, dry,
and free of lotion or oil). Make sure the sensors touch your skin and the logo on
the button points up toward the right.

Use the adjusters to tighten and loosen the strap, before putting it on your arm.
Make sure the strap is not too tight—you should be able to place three fingers
beneath it. Once the strap is adjusted to a comfortable fit, there is no need to
readjust it. Simply slide the armband on and o your arm by stretching the strap.

CORE CARE

Clean the a rmband regular ly after sweating or wh en it becomes notice ably moist or dirt y. Failure to keep the armb and
clean, o r improper cleani ng may irritate the skin a nd affect the sen sor performanc e. Minimize use of solve nts, cleaners
or other ch emicals and do not s terilize any part(s).

• To clean the sen sor module, use a clo th or towel moistened wit h mild soap and water to wi pe the metal sensor s that
touch the sk in. Remove any excess soa p and dry with a cloth or towe l completely before w earing.

• To clean the stra p, hand wash with mild s oap and warm water, rinse , then air dry. For optim al performance a nd
lifespan o f the strap, avoid machi ne drying.

• The senso rs may be disinfecte d by wiping with a soft clot h dampened with 70% is opropyl alcohol. A llow 5-10 minutes
for dryin g before wearing. Al ways disinfect the se nsor module and rep lace the armband s trap prior to use by other s.

• Though th e armband was desig ned for wearabilit y and long-term use , it is a sensitive monito ring device. Rough
handling can break internal components.

SAFE DISPOSAL

Dispose of t he CORE armband , battery, and this pa ckaging in accorda nce with local regul ations. Do not dispo se of the
battery i n the sensor modul e with regular house hold waste.

This device m ust accept any inter ference received, i ncluding interf erence that may caus e undesired opera tion.

This equi pment has been test ed and found to comply w ith the limits for a Clas s B digital device, pu rsuant to part 15 of
the FCC Rule s. These limits are d esigned to provide re asonable protect ion against harmf ul interference i n a residential
install ation. This equip ment generates, u ses and can radiate r adio frequency e nergy and, if not ins talled and used
in accorda nce with the instruc tions, may cause ha rmful interfere nce to radio communic ations. However, there i s no
guarante e that interferen ce will not occur in a par ticular installa tion. If this equip ment does cause ha rmful interfere nce
to radio or tel evision reception , which can be determ ined by turning the eq uipment off and on , the user is encour aged
to try to corre ct the interferen ce by one or more of the foll owing measures:

• Reorien t or relocate the recei ving antenna.

• Increas e the separation bet ween the equipme nt and receiver.

• Connec t the equipment into a n outlet on a circuit se parate from the receive r.

• Consult th e dealer or an exper ienced radio/T V technician for hel p.

CAUTION : Changes or modi fications to this equ ipment not express ly approved by the part y responsible for
