4. SMARTING device description
SMARTING (Figure 4.1) is intended for use as a biofeedback research
platform. The amplifier is located in a small casing with the physical
dimensions 82x51x12 mm. SMARTING is a mobile EEG amplifier that can be
used in unrestricted environment. If the device is moved to an environment
with a significant temperature drop/rise, leave the amplifier standing there
for 30 minutes, before turning it on. SMARTING must be used in normal
temperature and pressure conditions. The device must not be dropped, since
it may lead to malfunction.
1. The USB Type –C port is intended only for charging the battery (marked by
1 in Figure 4.1-left). SMARTING device is not to be charged during
recordings! Therefore, make sure the device is removed from charging,
before starting the experiments! Do not use any other adapter for charging
the battery! The device is intended to be charged only by USB connector on
PC.

1–USB Type –C connector; 2–RGB LED diode; 3–IDC connector
2. When SMARTING is connected to charging, the red LED will turn on
(indicated by number 2, in the left part of Figure 4.1). When the amplifier is
fully charged, the green light will be turned on.
