To get started with Halo Sport, grab your
phone or tablet.* Go to the app store (iOS
or Android), search for “Halo Sport,” and
download the app.
Install the free
Halo Sport app
STEP 1
* See haloneuro.com/support/compatibility for
a list of compatible devices.
7
Open the app and select “Sign Up” to
create your Halo Sport app account.
Once you’re logged in, the app will
walk you through how to connect and
set up your headset. Everything you
need is in the app, but the steps are
also listed in this guide.
Create your account
STEP 2

• Turn on Halo Sport: Press the silver
power button once.
• Enable pairing mode: A rapidly-ashing
LED means Halo Sport is in pairing mode.
If necessary, hold the silver power button
for about 7 seconds to enable.
• Pair to Halo Sport: Use the Halo Sport
app to pair with your headset (don’t use
your phone’s Bluetooth menu).
Connect your headset
to your phone

Wet the Primers:
The goal here is to get
the foam tips (“nibs”)
of the Primers soaking
wet. Use a faucet or the
included spray bottle to
soak the nibs on all three
Primers. You’ll know
they’re wet enough when
the nibs turn dark gray.
Get ready
to Neuroprime
STEP 4
Before Neuropriming, you’ll need to wet your Primers with
tap water and correctly position the headset on your head:
Insert the Primers:
Each Primer has 3
prongs that slide into
the 3 slots in each Primer
pocket. It doesn’t matter
which Primer you insert
into each pocket.
Position the headset:
Place the headset on
your head as you would
with a normal pair
of headphones. The
headset’s band should
be perpendicular to
the ground.
10
Halo Sport needs good contact with
your head to start Neuropriming. The
app will show a “poor contact” screen
if the headset is not yet making solid
contact. If necessary, you can try these
steps to improve contact:
Establish good contact
STEP 5
1. Re-wet the Primers by holding each one
under running water for 10 seconds.
Make sure all sides of the Primer nibs
are dark gray (thoroughly soaked), and
then re-insert them.
2. Once the headset is on your head,
tighten it by retracting the sides.
3. Wiggle the Primers down through your
hair so that the nibs are resting on your
skin rather than your hair.
11
The app has several session options —
each session emphasizes a dierent
muscle group. The headset will stimulate
specic parts of your motor cortex
depending on which session you choose.
Choose the session that relates most to the
muscle groups you want to train. For more
information on selecting a session, visit
haloneuro.com/support/sessions.

Start Neuropriming!
STEP 7
A Halo Sport training session has two parts — a
Neuropriming phase and a hyperplasticity training phase.
Once your Neuropriming phase is complete, you can remove the headset
or keep it on — either way, you’ll get the full benets of Halo Sport.
Pair this with training
HYPERPLASTICITY
NEUROPRIMING
20 MIN
Benets begin during this
period. Stretch, do light
warm-ups, or relax before
your training.
Benets continue for about an hour after the
Neuropriming session ends. Use this time to train hard
and focus on quality training repetitions.
14
How often should
I use Halo Sport?
Our experience shows that using Halo
Sport once per day at least 3-4 times
per week produces optimal results. If
you train more than once per day, we
recommend pairing Halo Sport with
your most intense training session.
FAQ
How soon should
I see results?
It depends on your training regimen
and your current performance level.
Elite athletes will typically see results
in 3-4 weeks, while amateurs may see
them faster.
How do I x a Bluetooth
connection issue?
If you’re unable to connect, restarting the
app and/or restarting your phone may
help. For more Bluetooth troubleshooting
steps, go to:
haloneuro.com/support/bluetooth.
How do I charge
Halo Sport?
The included USB cable and wall adapter
can be used to charge your Halo Sport.
A full charge requires 3-4 hours of
charge time, and should last for about 8
Neuropriming sessions. An orange light
indicates that your headset is charging;
a green light indicates a full charge.

FAQ - continued
How do I store
my Halo Sport?
When storing your headset, remove
the Primers from the Primer pockets.
Clean and dry the headset with a light
cloth. Halo Sport should be stored in
a clean, dry environment inside of the
provided quick-dry case.
How old do you need to
be to use Halo Sport?
Halo Sport is for individuals age 18 and
over. For full details on who should and
should not use Halo Sport, visit:
haloneuro.com/support/who.
What is the
Recharge Kit for?
After many uses, your Primers may not
absorb water as well, which may make it
harder to get good contact. If you notice
this happening, use the provided recharge
kit to restore their absorbency. In normal
cases, this won’t be necessary until after
many sessions. To learn how to recharge
your Primers, visit:
haloneuro.com/support/recharge.
Where can I buy
new Primers?
You can purchase additional Primers — and
other accessories like recharge kits and
Bluetooth audio adapters — in our online
store. You can get to the store from the
Halo Sport app by selecting “Halo Store” in
the left-hand menu, or by visiting:
haloneuro.com/store/accessories.
