CURO Mk 0

CURO: Getting started
- Turn on your CURO acoustic myography unit by pressing the ON/OFF button
(olive green circle) for approximately 1 second.
o If the LED lights a steady green, then the battery capacity is more than
50%
o If the LED light flashes red, then the battery capacity is approximately
30 --‐ 50%
o If the LED light is red, then you should charge the unit before use.
- Connect the molded smart sensors as needed (up to 4) – (see Photo 1).
o If the sensor is correctly connected then a green LED will light up.
o If the sensor has less than half an hour left for use, then the green LED
light will flash.
o If the sensor is not usable with the CURO then a red LED will light up.
o If no LED is active, then you should check the cable and connector to
make sure they are fully and correctly inserted into the CURO.

- Insert a Smart Sensor into one of the slots at the top of the CURO. They click into place
and can be removed again by pressing the clear plastic lever on the connector in towards
the Smart Sensor cable whilst gently pulling the Smart Sensor away from the CURO.
-
- Start recording by pressing the REC button for approximately 1 second. A red
LED will light up next to the REC button to indicate that recording is in progress.
- During recording the CURO acoustic myography unit will save data locally for
later transfer to your PC via the USB connector and cable provided.
- If you wish the CURO acoustic myography unit to transfer live “real --‐ time” data to
your iPad, then you need to press the WiFi button for approximately 1 second.

CURO: Stopping
- To stop a recording, you should press the REC button for more than 2 seconds.
The red LED will go out.
- To turn off the wireless WiFi data transmission, you should press the WiFi
button for more than 2 seconds. The green LED will go out.
- To switch off the CURO acoustic myography unit, you should press the ON/OFF
button (olive green circle) for more than 2 seconds. The ON/OFF button
LED will go out.
CURO: Charging
- Your CURO acoustic myography unit comes with a built --‐ in chargeable battery.
The battery has a capacity of 8 hours of non --‐ stop recording without the WiFi
activated, and 4 hours of operation with the WiFi activated.
- The CURO acoustic myography unit can be charged using the 230V AC Power
Supply Unit provided -‐‐ (see Photo 2).
-
- Photo 2: Data Transfer cable and Charger
-
- Insert the round charger jack into the round slot in the base of the CURO, insert the
charger into a wall socket and switch on. The charger will light up with a red LED to
show that charging is taking place.

- When the Power Adaptor is connected, the CURO unit automatically enters
“charging” mode, and immediately starts charging. The ON/OFF button LED
will light up green and start flashing to indicate that charging is in progress.
Once the ON/OFF LED stops flashing and shows a steady green, then the battery
is fully charged and your CURO is ready to start recording once again.
- NOTE: The CURO acoustic myography unit cannot both re --‐ charge the internal
battery and record data at the same time.
CURO: Transferring data
- Once your recording is completed, you may wish to save your data on your PC
and/or turn your measurements into a complete report with full analysis of the
data.
Connect the CURO acoustic myography unit to you PC using the USB cable
provided – (see Photo 3). On the PC the CURO acoustic myography unit will
identify itself as a Mass Storage Device (just like a USB Memory Stick), and you
will find the data you have recorded as a sound file with the following .wav
extension.

-
Insert the round charger jack into the round slot in the base of the CURO, insert the
charger into a wall socket and switch on. The charger will light up with a red LED to
show that charging is taking place.
For Data Transfer, use the cable provided (see Photo 2), inserting the smaller of the two
ends into the rectangular slot in the base of the CURO, and the other end of the Data
Transfer cable into the USB slot of your computer.
- NOTE: Unlike some other consumer products, the CURO acoustic myography
unit will not start charging its internal battery whilst connected to a PC via the
USB cable provided. If you wish to charge the battery of your CURO while it is
connected to a PC, then you should simply connect the 230V AC Power Supply
Unit provided.

CURO: Wireless connection to a Mobile Device
- The CURO acoustic myography unit comes with a build --‐ in WiFi access point for
wireless streaming of the recorded data to a mobile device (iPad). By means of a
special App (supplied by MyoDynamik), which you first need to install on your
mobile device (iPad), you can monitor the recorded data in real --‐ time.
- The App enables a number of additional valuable features, but also serves as a
basic “remote control” for the CURO acoustic myography unit.
- NOTE: Measured data are always recorded and stored locally on the CURO
acoustic myography unit, irrespective of whether you choose to monitor the
measurements on a mobile device (iPad).
- HINT: To ensure the longest possible recording time with your CURO acoustic
myography unit, turn on the built --‐ in WiFi connection only when you wish to
monitor live data.
