Epson PS-500 Benutzerhandbuch

Before using your product for the first time, make sure the 
battery is fully charged. Charging takes approximately 2.5 to 
3.5 hours. A full charge lasts about 36 hours.

Caution: Do not attach the charging cradle when the PS-500 is 
wet. If the PS-500 is wet, wipe it with a damp cloth, remove the 
moisture with a towel, then let it air dry before attaching the 
charging cradle.

1. Open the charging cradle and insert the PS-500 as shown.

2. Insert the USB plug into a power source. You can use:

■

Computer (using a free USB port)

■

Optional USB AC Adapter (part number SFAC04)

The orange LED lights up when your PS-500 is connected 
correctly. Charging is complete when the blue LED is lit.

Download 

Epson PULSENSE View

 from your mobile 

device’s app store.

The following mobile devices are supported:

■

iPhone 4s, iPhone 5, iPhone 5c, or iPhone 5s with iOS 
7.1 or later 

■

Mobile device running Android

TM

 4.3 or later with 

Bluetooth

You must pair your PS-500 through the Epson PULSENSE 
View app. The PS-500 will not store any data until you’ve 
paired it with the app.

Follow these steps:

1. Start the Epson PULSENSE View app.

2. Make sure that the PS-500 is within 3 feet (1 meter) of the 

mobile device.

3. Follow the on-screen instructions to pair your PS-500 

with your mobile device and perform the initial 
configuration.

The PS-500 can store up to 480 hours of data before needing 
to be synced.

The LEDs on the PS-500 light up or flash to indicate different 
states. When exercising, the LEDs indicate which zone you’re 
currently in. The PS-500 vibrates when entering or leaving a 
zone.

Keep these tips in mind when wearing your PS-500:

■

The PS-500 needs to be worn snugly around the wrist to 
collect more accurate heart rate data. This may cause a 
slight impression on the wrist. Adjust the PS-500 for the 
comfort and performance you choose.

■

When wearing the PS-500, make sure it does not touch 
the ulna bone.

 

■

For greater accuracy, wear the PS-500 on your 
non-dominant wrist.

■

Tap the watch face to turn on the backlight.

■

Before boarding an aircraft, power off your PS-500 by 
selecting 

Power off 

from the 

System

 settings menu.

To personalize your heart rate zones and calibrate the sleep 
monitoring feature, wear your PS-500 for 2 to 7 days while 
you sleep. The accuracy of your heart rate zone and sleep data 
will improve after the PS-500 has calibrated your resting heart 
rate.

You can view live and collected data, such as heart rate, steps, 
calories, and sleep, from your PS-500 using the PULSENSE 
View mobile app.

If you do not have a mobile device, you can use your 
Windows computer to upload data to the PULSENSE View 
web application. Download the PS Uploader software 
(Windows 8.x, Windows 7, or Windows Vista required) from 
epson.com/support/ps500 (U.S.) or epson.ca/support/ps500 
(Canada).

■

The PS-500 vibrates when entering or leaving a zone. To 
turn off vibration, go to 

 > Device Settings > 

Vibration

 in the PULSENSE View app. See the in-app 

help for more information about vibration.

■

If you are missing data, note that data collected before 
pairing with the app cannot be viewed.

■

If you are having trouble pairing, make sure you are 
pairing from the PULSENSE View app, not from your 
system’s Bluetooth settings.

■

If heart rate monitoring is turned off, press the 

A

 button 

to turn it back on.

■

The PS-500 time is set by the PULSENSE View app or 
the PS Uploader software. Connect the PS-500 to one of 
these programs to update the time.
