BodyMedia FIT Armband BW Manual 3
Intended Use
The system records and analyzes physiological parameters, and uses algorithms
to report daily movement, calories burned, degree of physical activity, and steps
taken. These objective health metrics facilitate maintenance of a healthy weight and
an active lifestyle, and in conjunction with a balanced diet can result in a favorable
influence on overall health. Maintaining a healthy weight, balanced diet and active
lifestyle are routinely cited as key to combating and managing serious medical
conditions including obesity, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. The information
presented by the system can be used by a physician or healthcare practitioner and
may aid the assessment and medical management of conditions influenced by
weight and activity.
Risks and Benefits
The predominant benefit of the product is the enabling of the monitoring and
management 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. However, it is best to discontinue use and consult a physi-
cian 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.

Proper Wear and Cleaning
Wear your Armband on the back of the upper left arm (the tricep). To work properly,
the Armband logo must face upward towards the shoulder and the silver sensors
on the underside of the Armband will be in contact with your skin.
1. Be sure the upper left arm is clean, dry, and free
of lotion or oil then slide the Armband onto your
left arm.
2. Adjust the strap so that it fits comfortably, and
then secure the Velcro pull-tab. Ensure that the
sensors on the underside of the Armband
maintain continuous contact with your skin and
that the Armband does not slide off your arm.
3. Do not secure the strap too tightly. You should be
able to place two fingers beneath the strap. Once the strap is adjusted to a
comfortable fit, there is no need to readjust the Velcro tab. Simply slide the
Armband on and off your arm by stretching the strap.

Bluetooth® Wireless Technology Instructions
Pairing the Armband with a Smartphone
The Armband is connected to a Smartphone with Bluetooth wireless technology
using a procedure called ‘pairing.’ By following a few simple steps, your Armband
can be paired with a Smartphone in a matter of minutes.
1. Put the Armband in pairing mode
Once you have set up the Armband according to the Quick Start, you can pair it
with a Smartphone. Hold the button on the Armband down for 5 seconds (This
applies for initial pairing, to clear an existing pairing, or to pair with a new Smart-
phone). To show pairing mode is active on the Armband, the memory and battery
status indicator lights will alternate in an amber color. The Armband will remain
in pairing mode for 2 minutes so that you can complete the next step with your
Smartphone.
2. Set your Smartphone to ‘discover’ the Armband
Follow your Smartphone’s instruction guide. First make sure that Bluetooth wire-
less technology is activated on your Smartphone. Then set your phone to discover
a device with Bluetooth wireless technology. This usually involves going to a ‘setup,’
‘connect’ or ‘Bluetooth’ menu on your phone and selecting the option to ‘discover’
or ‘add’ a Bluetooth device.
3. Your Smartphone will find the Armband
Your Smartphone will find the Armband under the name “XY’s Armband” where X
is the initial of the first name registered to the Armband and Y is the initial of the
last name. Your Smartphone then asks if you want to pair the Armband. Accept by
pressing ‘Yes’ or ‘Ok’ on the phone and confirm with the passkey or PIN=0000 (4
zeros). Your Smartphone will confirm when pairing is complete.
In case of unsuccessful pairing, go back to Step 1 and try again.
Initial Connection and Application Installation
Once your Armband is paired with your Smartphone, press the button on the Arm-
band to initiate the connection. The memory and battery status indicator lights will
alternate in a green color while the Armband is looking for the Application to sync
