indicate that there is no data available yet.
16
Note: When the sensor shows one of the data
screens, the sensor switches off
automatically after eight seconds of
inactivity.

Using the product
Starting a sleep session
When you are ready to go to sleep, put the
strap with the sensor around your chest (see
'Wearing the Snoring Relief Band during the
night').
Start a sleep session by pressing the activation
button for two seconds when the sensor is off
or when it shows one of the sensor data
screens.
The sensor will vibrate briefly and show '--' to
indicate that the sleep session has started.
2 sec.
Note: The sensor allows you to fall asleep in
any position. 30 minutes after a sleep session
has started, the vibrations will start when you
are sleeping on your back.
17

Pause mode
In case you need to get up during the night
(e.g. going to the toilet), the sensor will pause
automatically until you are in a sleeping
position again. The vibrations will start after 5
minutes to give you some time to fall asleep
again.
Note: If you wake up during the night and want
to check if the sensor is still active, press the
activation button briefly. The display lights up
and shows '--' to indicate that the sensor is
still active. The display will fade out
automatically.
Note: A sleep session can last up to 12 hours,
after which the sensor automatically stops the
sleep session and switches off.
Note: If a sleep session has been stopped and
started again within 2 hours, both sessions are
counted as 1 full sleep session.
Stopping a sleep session
You need to manually stop the sleep session
when you wake up and get out of bed.
Press and hold the button for two seconds to
stop the sleep session. If you do not stop the
sleep session, the sensor keeps vibrating when
the Snoring Relief Band is taken off and the
sensor is placed on a horizontal surface.
18

After the sleep session has ended, the sensor
will vibrate briefly and show the data of your
last sleep session.
2 sec.
Learning more about your Snoring Relief
Band
Adaptation phase
You may need time to get used to the Snoring
Relief Band. To help you get used to the
vibrations, the sensor starts with an adaptation
phase that consists of 7 sleep sessions. During
this period, the percentage of time the Snoring
Relief Band vibrates increases gradually. From
the 8th sleep session onwards, the sensor
vibrates every time when you are lying on your
back (normal phase).
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
20% 25% 33% 50% 66% 75% 80% 100%
19

The sensor shows a small dot on the left side
of the display to indicate that the adaptation
phase is active.
Switching off the adaptation phase
You can manually switch off the adaptation
phase. Press and hold the activation button for
five seconds when the sensor shows one of
the data screens. The sensor vibrates after two
seconds, but keep the button pressed until the
sensor has counted down from three to one
and you feel another vibration. The final
vibration indicates that switching off the
adaptation phase was successful.
5 sec.
3 sec. 2 sec.
The data of your last sleep session has been
removed and the display shows '- -'.
20

Switching on the adaptation phase
At any time after the adaptation phase, you
can manually switch on the adaptation phase
again. Use the same 5-second long press as
described in ‘Switching off the adaptation
phase’.
The small dot on the display of the sensor
indicates that the adaptation phase is active
again during 7 sleep sessions. With this re-
activation of the adaptation phase, the data of
your last sleep session has been removed.
Vibration level
The sensor is smart and has a self-learning
algorithm. The sensor optimizes the vibration
level based on your reaction time (response
rate).
Vibration patterns
Every five days, the vibration pattern changes
to make sure that you do not get used to the
vibrations and that you will keep responding
to them.
Resetting the sensor
Reset the sensor if you want to remove your
data and reset the adaptation phase (e.g.
other user, a long period of disuse).
5 sec.
To reset the sensor, press and hold the
activation button for five seconds when the
sensor shows one of the data screens.
The sensor vibrates after two seconds, but
keep the button pressed until the sensor has
21

counted down from three to one and you feel
another vibration.
The final vibration indicates that the reset was
successful and that the data has been
removed.
5 sec.
3 sec. 2 sec.
After the reset, the adaptation phase is also
active again (see 'Adaptation phase'), as
indicated by the small dot on the display of
the sensor.
