Operation
1. Moisten the gray sensor pads on the back of the strap with water.
2. Snapthe BioHarnessEcho Module ontothe BioHarness3byclicking thebottomin firstandthenthetop.
3. Poweronthe BioHarnessEcho Modulebypressingthe buttoninthecenteruntilall fourLEDsflash.
4. Link the BioHarness Echo Module to the RAELink3.
Note: It links automatically after the initial Bluetooth pairing.
5. Attach the shoulder strap with Velcro in the back and fit the clasp to the loop in the front, and
then do the same with the clasp and loop in the front.
Note: BioHarness Echo Module should be under the left armpit when properly positioned.

6. Adjust the shoulder strap and main strap tension by increasing or decreasing
the length of the loop behind the tensioners.
7. Launch ProRAE Guardian on your computer. Units come online automatically.
Charging The RAELink3
Before usingthe RAELink3, charge its Li-ion battery. For more details, consult the RAELink3 User’s Guide or
Quick Reference.
Charging The BioHarness Echo Module
1. Snap the BioHarness Echo Module into the Charging Cradle and use a USB cable to connect the
Charging Cradle to a computer or the included USB charger.
2. Snap the BioHarness Echo Module into the Charging Cradle and allow it to charge. Typical
charging time for a full charge is 3 hours. A charge of 90% is typically reached in 1 hour. While
charging, the BioHarness Echo Module’s orange LED flashes. When fully charged, the orange
LED glows continuously.
3. Once it is charged, remove the BioHarness Echo Module from the Charging Cradle.
Pairing The BioHarness Echo Module And The RAELink3 Via
Bluetooth
After an initial pairing of the BioHarness Echo Module with the RAELink3, the two will automatically
find each other every time they are turned on. For initial pairing, follow the instructions below.
Note: When doing initial pairing, never turn on more than one BioHarness Echo Module and one
RAELink3 at the same time.
1. Enter Programming Mode on the RAELink3 by holding the [N/-] and [MODE] keys together.
Press [N/-] twice until you see “OP Mode” (Operation Mode).
Set the mode of operation to Remote.
Set the BT (Bluetooth) to BioHarness 3.
Press [N/-] until you confirm BT (Bluetooth) power is on.

Press [N/-] until you see “Start Bluetooth Search?”
Press [Y/+] to initiate a search.
Once the units sync, the serial number of the BioHarness Echo Module is shown in the
RAELink3 display with an asterisk next to it.
4. Click [MODE] to enter regular operation, and the RAELink3 automatically finds the BioHarness 3.
When the units link, the blue Bluetooth LED on the BioHarness 3 flashes.
The RAELink3 LCD indicates that it is linked to the BioHarness 3 by showing the link and
the serial number of the BioHarness 3.
Setting The Unit ID
The Unit ID distinguishes between different wireless units within the ProRAE Guardian software. If the
Unit ID has not been set to a unique identification number, you must set it.
1. Enter Programming Mode on the RAELink3 by holding the [N/-] and [MODE] keys together.
2. Press [N/-] until you can set the UNIT ID.
3. Select a number between 01 and 64.
4. Press and hold [MODE] for two seconds and save it.
Defining Alarm Levels
Important!Alarmlimits should only be setafter consulting trained medical professionals and getting stress test
resultsfor each individual who will be wearing the BioHarness 3.
The default alarm template in ProRAE Guardian uses these alarm values:
Sensor

High
Breath Rate (breaths per minute)
≤ 10
≥ 25
Heart Rate (beats per minute)
≤55
≥ 180
Activity
100
200
Posture (degrees)
NA
≥ 10
Device Temperature (°F or °C)
≤ 95° F (35° C)
≥ 105° F (46.6° C)
Setting Alarm Levels
Follow these steps to set alarms in ProRAE Guardian for each individual based on the stress test results.
