All the information you provide is confidential.
See our Privacy Policy at: www.avawomen.com/privacy

Pairing Ava for the first time
After you set up your account you will be asked to pair your Ava with the app.
Pair the Ava before you wear it for the first night. In order to do so, follow the
instructions on the screen:
• Turn on your phone’s Bluetooth
• Connect Ava to power through the USB cable.
The LED on your Ava should be flashing blue when the device is in pairing mode.
If you do not see this light, unplug the device from the charger and plug it again.
• After your device is recognized, tap “Pair Ava”
Your Ava is paired and ready to be used.

Wearing Ava
Ava is designed to be worn only while you’re sleeping.
Ava must be worn for at least four hours per night. After three hours of sleep, your
physiological signs become stable and accurate measurements can be taken.
If you wear your Ava for at least four hours but do not sleep, we will still show you your
physiological data but the data quality is poor so we will not consider it in our algorithm.
Wrist placement
To get accurate data, Ava should fit snugly on top of your wrist,
right below your wrist bone.
• Do not wear the device while it is connected to power
• Ava has been tested for biocompatibility and should not cause allergic reactions.
• If you have tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, or other musculoskeletal disorders,
consult your doctor prior to use. If you feel any discomfort on your wrists while or
after wearing the product, please discontinue use.
Wearing Ava

Recording data
The device automatically detects that it is being worn and starts recording data.
When you start wearing the device you will see:
Green LED for five seconds, which means that the device has started recording and you
can go to sleep or…
Red LED that flashes every 10 seconds, which means that the memory of your Ava is full
or its battery is empty. In any case, connect your Ava to the power cord, connect it with
the app and wait for the green light to appear on your Ava.
Synchronize Ava with the app
When you wake up in the morning:
1. Connect the device to the power cable
2. Make sure that the Bluetooth on your mobile phone is enabled
and you are connected to internet.
3. Open the Ava app
4. Synchronization will take place automatically and after a few moments
you can see all the data of the previous night on your smartphone.
Since Ava records more than 3 million data points every night you should
synchronize every day to ensure that you get the most accurate prediction. Also, do not
forget to charge Ava during the day so that it will be ready to be used at night.
