Keep the following tips in mind when caring for your Quantlet
1) Clean and dry your Quantlet regularly using a damp cloth. Do not use any chemical-based cleaners to
clean it.
2) If you notice any signs of skin irritation or experience any discomfort, please discontinue use.
3) Use the device as early in the day as possible and specifically before any workouts.
When Not to Use the Quantlet
We do not recommend using the Quantlet in the following scenarios:
1) If you have an electrical implant such as a heart pacemaker.
2) If you are pregnant.
3) In the shower. The Quantlet is not waterproof.
Battery and Power
Your Quantlet comes equipped with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. With normal use, your Quantlet
should function for 1 and possibly 2 protocol runs, depending on duration, on a single 4-hour charge. Do not
attempt to change the batteries. Opening the device to tamper with the batteries may cause harm and will
void the warranty. In the event that you need to dispose of the device, please follow the laws applicable to
your location.
Users and Guests
A Quantlet supports one user’s profile. The Quantlet can be re-paired to another person’s mobile phone and
app at any time. If you are sharing your Quantlet with another person, please be sure the Quantlet is paired
with the correct app before use, to ensure the measurements are saved to the correct profile.
The Quantlet’s Protocols
The Quantlet is designed to be used daily ONCE per day. For ideal performance, however, we recommend
alternating the wrist on which the device is worn every day, so that it’s one arm one day and the other the
next day.
Additionally, when using the Quantlet with TEC on or in P30/P60, the sensation provided by the cooling
plate will be a mild sensation of coolness that waves in and out. It will NOT feel ice-cold. The reason is
simple: too much cold constricts blood vessels and disallows blood flow.
The cooling plate’s operating parameters are optimized to extract just the right amount of heat based on
the temperature of the skin as measured by the skin temperature sensor. If your skin is cool already, either
because you are not hyperthermic (hot) or because the plate has done its job, you will not feel much. But,
the plate is still working and extracting heat as intended.
P30 or Performance 30 Protocol
The P30 Performance 30 Protocol is designed to help individuals increase their exercise performance from
the first 10 days of its use. It does so by stimulating blood through the devices’ photobiomodulation
capabilities and by cooling the blood through the removal of excess body heat through the device’s cooling
plate.
It can also be used for energizing the body and enhancing mental alertness after waking or when
experiencing symptoms of fatigue, brain fog or general lethargy.
This protocol is the default protocol for use of the Quantlet in Manual Mode.
Recommended Usage Strategy:
•Use this protocol for the first two weeks of daily usage of the Quantlet and then move to P60 if well
tolerated
•Begin protocol 15-20 minutes prior to exercise
•In order to avoid negatively affecting sleep, this protocol is only recommended for daytime use
•Ensure the rubber plug covers the USB charging port if using during exercise. Failure to do so will void
the product warranty
•Daytime Use Only
•Use only with USB charger plug during exercise and profuse sweating
P60 or Performance 60 Protocol
The P60 Performance 60 Protocol is designed to help individuals increase their exercise performance after
the first 10 days of use in P30 or Performance 30. It does so by stimulating blood through the devices’
photobiomodulation capabilities and by cooling the blood through the removal of excess body heat through
the device’s cooling plate.
It can also be used for energizing the body and enhancing mental alertness after waking or when
experiencing symptoms of fatigue, brain fog or general lethargy.
Recommended Usage Strategy:
•Use this protocol for the first two weeks of daily usage of the Quantlet and then move to P60 if well
tolerated
•Begin protocol 15-20 minutes prior to exercise
•In order to avoid negatively affecting sleep, this protocol is only recommended for daytime use
•Ensure the rubber plug covers the USB charging port if using during exercise. Failure to do so will void
the product warranty
•Daytime Use Only
•Use only with USB charger plug during exercise and profuse sweating
Wellness
The Wellness Protocol is designed to help individuals improve their overall wellbeing and especially address
homeostasis. It does so by stimulating blood through the devices’ photobiomodulation capabilities.
It can also be used for energizing the body and enhancing mental alertness after waking or when
experiencing symptoms of fatigue, brain fog or general lethargy.
Recommended Usage Strategy:
•Use this protocol daily
•In order to avoid negatively affecting sleep, this protocol is only recommended for daytime use
•Ensure the rubber plug covers the USB charging port if using during exercise. Failure to do so will void
the product warranty
•Daytime Use Only
Sleep / Relax
The Sleep / Relax Protocol is designed to help individuals improve their overall relaxation and sleep, as well
as aid in restoring the body’s homeostasis. It does so by stimulating blood through the devices’
photobiomodulation capabilities.
Recommended Usage Strategy:
•Use this protocol and at least 3 hours prior to bedtime
•In order to avoid negatively affecting sleep, this protocol is only recommended for use before sunset
•Daytime Use Only
Jetlag
The Jetlag Protocol is designed to help individuals re-entrain to their sleep/wake cycle when traveling across
time zones, for example. It does so by stimulating blood and skin receptors using certain frequencies of light
pulsed at a specific rate that acts to re-entrain the body to brainwave frequencies of wakefulness and
mental alertness.
It can also be used for energizing the body and enhancing mental alertness after waking or when
experiencing symptoms of fatigue, brain fog or general lethargy.
Recommended Usage Strategy:
•Use this protocol sporadically
•In order to avoid negatively affecting sleep, this protocol is only recommended for early daytime use
•Daytime Use Only
Muscle Activation
The Muscle Activation protocol is designed to help individuals increase their exercise performance by
irradiating certain muscles prior to exercise. It does so by stimulating blood and muscle tissue directly
through the devices’ photobiomodulation capabilities.
Recommended Usage Strategy:
•Hold the Quantlet’s top lighting module against the muscle(s) intended to be treated bilaterally (on
both sides of the body) at least 5 minutes prior to exercise
•1 to 3 minutes between muscle groups is enough to generate a stimulus
•Ensure the rubber plug covers the USB charging port if using during exercise. Failure to do so will void
the product warranty
•Daytime Use Only
•Use only with USB charger plug during exercise and profuse sweating
Spot Treatment
The Spot Treatment protocol is designed to treat skin/surface areas. It does so by stimulating skin, blood
and muscle tissue directly through the devices’ photobiomodulation capabilities.
Recommended Usage Strategy:
•Hold the Quantlet’s top lighting module against the spot(s) intended to be treated for at least 5 minutes
•1 to 3 minutes is enough to generate a stimulus
•Daytime Use Only
Custom Protocols
The Custom protocols allow users to enter their own protocol parameters to replicate settings used in
published studies or to simply experiment and ‘biohack’.
Users can select protocol duration, use of the cooling plate (TEC on or off), light frequency (color), light
intensity and pulse rate or frequency (Hz).
Recommended Usage Strategy:
•Ensure the rubber plug covers the USB charging port if using during exercise. Failure to do so will void
the product warranty
•Daytime Use Only
•Use only with USB charger plug during exercise and profuse sweating
The following table describes each protocol’s duration, use of light color/parameters and cooling plate
(TEC):
