increases the amount of oxygen
inhaled in a given period, de-
creasing energy consumption.
Anaerobic tolerance
Boosted resistance towards
lactate ensures prolonged ability
to perform at high intensities for
longer periods.

OPERATION
Airot System Description
The Airot is a system consisting of the Airot Breathing Trainer and Airot
Sport application. Together with the sensors in the trainer, the mobile appli-
cation will provide you with training information and your development over
time.
Major functionality consists of the Airot Breathing Trainer providing resis-
tance on your inspiratory and expiratory breathing. The Airot Sport applica-
tion provides guidance to respiratory training and monitors your performance.
Holding Your Breathing Trainer Correctly
You should be relaxed and standing or sitting upright. Hold the trainer with
your hand on the E-Unit.
Make sure that the openings near the resistance wheels are not covered.
Now place the trainer in your mouth so that your lips cover the outer shield
of the mouthpiece to make a seal. The mouthpiece bite blocks should be
gripped between your teeth.
Look straight forward, as looking down can cause more salivation.

Power Button
To turn ON the breathing trainer, click the
button. It will begin to blink green to indicate
that the trainer is ON - at this point, it is ready
to be paired with the mobile application.
To turn the trainer OFF, simply hold the same
button down for 3 seconds.
The Mouthpiece
The mouthpiece is softer than the rest of
the breathing trainer, to ensure complete
comfort during exercise.
To use it, gently bend the sides of the
mouthpiece and put it in your mouth.

Removable E-Unit
This part contains all electronics.
To clean or charge your Airot Breathing
Trainer, hold the grips and remove the
E-Unit from the rest of the body.
Make sure that the E-Unit does not
get in contact with any liquids.
Charging
You will nd the charging plug on the inside
of the E-Unit. Insert your Micro USB cable to
charge. If the button is blinking green, you
have inserted your cable correctly and your
Airot is charging.
Once fully charged, the button will remain
green.

11
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Please follow the guidelines below to ensure that your Breathing Trainer
remains hygienic and in good working order.
As the Airot Breathing Trainer will be exposed to saliva during use, it is im-
portant to clean it frequently.
We recommend cleaning after each training session.
Always store your Airot Breathing Trainer in the provided storage
pouch or another suitable clean and hygienic way. Always make
sure that your Airot Breathing Trainer is dry before storing in a
closed container.
Always remove the E-unit before cleaning with water or other
liquids! (Removable E-Unit - Page 10)
After each training we recommend that you wash the trainer in warm water,
shake o excess water and dry with a clean towel.
Once a week, remove the mouthpiece from the trainer to be able to clean
it better. Use a mild disinfectant solution instead of water. The disinfectant
solution used must be intended for use on equipment that comes into con-
tact with the mouth, such as that used for baby bottles. If in doubt, ask your
pharmacist.
After, hold the Breathing Trainer under running water, allowing it to run
through. Shake o excess water and dry with a clean towel.

Select “SETTINGS” in the
menu bar at the bottom of the
screen.
Scroll down in the settings
menu and select “UPDATE

Fill in your height/weight/
age. This is important to give
you the best feedback on your
respiratory system.
Select “HOME” in the menu bar
at the bottom of the screen to
return to the home screen.

14
GETTING STARTED
Before you start training, you will be required to take a lung test. This
measures your inspiratory and expiratory strength to give you the optimal
performance level and starting point for the training.
Select “TAKE TEST” on the
screen.
You might need to turn your
trainer on and reconnect.
Make sure that you adjust the
resistance wheels as shown
on your screen. This applies
every time you take a lung test
or train.
To help you get familiar with
the Airot test and training
session, we recommend that
you start by watching the in-
struction videos at the bottom
of the screen.
Select “right here” to watch the
video.
Select “START” to take your
Lung Test.

15
After taking the Lung Test, you are presented with your results. These lev-
els and numbers will be the starting point to measure and give feedback
on your future training sessions.
Here you can see your Vital
Lung Capacity. Percentage
and “LOW” to “HIGH” measure-
ments show how your results
compare to individuals your
age, gender, and size.
Maximal Inspiratory Pressure
and Maximal Expiratory Pres-
sure are measured in
centimeters of water (a stan-
dard unit of pressure).
Again, you can see your results
compared to an individual of
your age, gender, and size.

16
GETTING STARTED
After taking the Lung Test, you are ready to begin your training!
Select “PROGRAMS” in the
menu bar at the bottom of the
screen.
We recommend that you start
with the “INTRODUCTION”
program until you are familiar
with the training sessions.

Make sure that the trainer is fully charged.
Do not push the button after the connection has happened.
Do not leave the app while using the trainer.
Do not move the Airot Breathing Trainer more than 5 meters away
from the smartphone that the trainer is connected to.

FAQ
The exercises cause me to create a lot of saliva - is there
anything I can do to stop this?
My results vary a lot - is this normal?
I do not see any improvement - what can I do?
Try pausing during your training (press pause in the App) in order to allow
saliva in your mouth to clear.
You might want to take the trainer out of your mouth while swallowing.
Alternatively, and if the session allows it, you can lie down while training.
This will not reduce the training eect.
•
•
•
The action of breathing is by its very nature extremely variable and dicult
to control accurately. When you rst start training with Airot, you may nd
that your results vary widely between dierent sessions.
As you get used to the action of breathing against resistance, you should
nd that your results become more consistent and controllable.
You may still nd that there is a variation from day to day, depending on
your physical condition and state of mind on a particular day, just as any
other form of exercise.
•
•
•
If you are not seeing any improvement in the training or test results, try
increasing the level that you are training against.
It is important that you are training against a load which is challenging in
order to increase the strength of your respiratory muscles.
However, remember that after 6 to 8 weeks, your training improvements
will tend to plateau. After this, aim to maintain your improved breathing
results by continuing to train regularly.
