the bottom toward the release clip (1)
3. Push until there is a click

the direction of the lens

Wearing your Sensory
Glasses
Cap
Shoulder
*Left or Right? The Sensory knows which way is 'up' .
All mounting hardware can be rotated, and therefore can be used on
either the left or right side of the body / head / glasses
- Always mount the Sensory with the Alarm button facing outwards.

Using your SENSORY and PCS
Note: Sensories are assigned to specific users at an Assignment Station, so that all recordings are always
directly associated with that user.
You should always use the specific Sensory that is currently assigned to you.
1. Before first use insert PCS into charging hub until fully charged.
2. Get a charged PCS from a Charging Hub.
3. Connect the Sensory to the PCS.
Always clamp (or release) the cable from the PCS by pressing the Cable Release buttons.
- The 'L' cable is normally used to attach to the PCS when wearing the Sensory.
- The 'T' cable is for when a Sensory is used as a fixed-mount device, or when external power is needed
(via the large USB connector).
4. The Sensory and PCS will go through a startup cycle as soon as they are connected.
Wait for the version number and your User Name to appear on the PCS screen - this indicates that the unit is assigned
to you, is ready to use, and on-board recording has commenced.
5. If you get a message 'Return PCS to Hub' on startup, do not use that PCS - it needs to be fully recharged and its
recordings uploaded. Return it and request a different PCS.
6. While using the unit, you can trigger Alarms, and put the unit in Privacy mode.
The sensory controls are shown overleaf.

Notes:
1. The PCS handles storage and communications, but when the video from the Sensory is shown live or played back later
on the VMS, it remains associated with the assigned User.
2. Users can even use a replacement PCS's during a shift - for example, if their first PCS is low on battery.
The VMS system will correctly identify and splice the recordings from multiple PCSs.
3. Where activated by the system, each user will get an email for each Alarm or Event containing the related recordings,
so that they can be reviewed.
4. Always allow up to 10 seconds at the end of an event before disconnecting the PCS from the Sensory
5. Take Unit out of Privacy mode prior to disconnecting PCS and inserting into Charging Hub. Failure to do so will result in
Hub showing a steady amber light for that PCS until it is defaulted (all data will offload and will charge as normal)
