LANDLINE TELEPHONE
NOTE: If your unit is connected to Wi-Fi, and you want to connect to a landline telephone, remove the
Wi-Fi adapter from the USB port.
1 Lift up the pillow from the head rest to reveal the USB chamber.
2 Disconnect the USB cable from the USB port. Leave the cellular
adapter with the cable in the chamber.
3 Return the pillow to its original position.
4 If you have a Wi-Fi adapter connected in a USB port at the back,
remove it and store it in a safe place.
5 Insert one end of the telephone cord into the back of the
electronics unit and insert the other end into a telephone jack
in the wall. The provided phone splitter can be used if the
telephone jack already has a phone line connected to it.
TAKING A READING
1 Place the electronics unit onto a surface where you
will be comfortable taking a daily reading.
NOTE: Ensure that this surface is free of objects that may
potentially interfere with your sensor signal such as an electric
heating blanket.
2 Press the clear power button on the back of the
electronics unit to turn it on. The button will light up
blue.
3 Remove the handheld unit from the storage area on
the right side of the pillow, completely unwind the
cable from its groove and lay down with your head at
the thickest part of the pillow.
4 Shift slightly left or right so that your sensor is centered
over the lower section of the pillow. This is where the
antenna is located.
NOTE: Keep in mind that your sensor is located just in front of
your right or left shoulder blade. If you do not know the side in
which your sensor is located, contact your healthcare provider.
5 Once ready, press the round, green button below
the touchscreen on the handheld unit to start your
reading.
NOTE: Avoid placing the handheld unit directly on your
chest during a reading.

TAKING A READING continued
6 Lie still. The system will guide you with voice prompts.
7 If your position is good you will hear,
“Good position on pillow. Stay still.”
A If you hear, “Shift slightly on pillow,” change your
body position by making slight movements towards
the shoulder opposite of where your sensor is located.
B Or, ensure that there are no metal objects near
you or the electronics unit. This could include jewelry,
keys, belts, electric heating blankets, metal bed frame
or rails, or other medical equipment such as a CPAP
machine, hearing aid charger, or oxygen supply.
8 After the Measuring message appears, remain still
while the music plays.
9 When the reading is finished, you will hear, “Reading
completed, you may get up.” At this point, you may
step away from the system.
NOTE: Do not push the power button or unplug the unit.
How do I change the volume on my unit?
Once your unit is set up and powered on, click
the Options button on the Start screen. Select
the Volume button and then toggle up or down to
increase or decrease.
Every time that I lie on the pillow, I hear a message
instructing me to shift position. How do I stop this
from happening?
Your system includes a positioning ball that can
be placed on the pillow to help you remember
the best position for reading your sensor. If you’re
unable to remember that position, use the ball to
mark the right spot. People often position the ball
where the neck meets the shoulder on the side
where the sensor is located.
What does the color of the signal strength bars
mean?
A green signal strength bar indicates that you
have a strong connection to your sensor, and the
unit will take a reading.
A white signal strength bar indicates that you do
not have a strong connection to your sensor. Try
shifting slightly on the pillow and ensure that the
area around your unit is free of metal objects.
A yellow signal strength indicates you do not have
a strong connection to your sensor and it is re-
lated to your position.Try shifting slightly on the
pillow.
A blue signal strength bar indicates that your unit
is picking up interference from something other
than your sensor. Ensure that the area around
your unit is free of metal objects. See 7B in the
previous section for a list of items that most com-
monly cause interference.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What happens with my readings?
Every time you take a reading, it is transmitted
to a secure website that your medical team can
access. Your doctor or nurse regularly reviews the
information and contacts you if changes to your
medications or treatment plan are necessary. If
everything is going well, you most likely will not
hear from your medical team.
I am getting a warning on the screen, what do I do?
If you experience any issues with your patient
electronics system, please review the Trouble-
shooting the Patient Electronics System section in
the Patient System Guide.
What do I need to set up my Wi-Fi™ network?
Prior to setting up the Wi-Fi connection on your
unit, locate and write down your Wi-Fi network
name and password. If you cannot find it, call
your internet service provider for assistance.
I have received a replacement patient electronics
system. How do I set it up?
Refer to the Setting Up a Replacement System
section of the Patient System Guide. You will need
your six digit sensor serial number that can be
found on your patient identification card.
Can I travel with my Patient Electronics System?
Yes, you can travel with your system. If you are
flying, the travel case meets the size requirement
of carry-on baggage. If you choose to check the
travel case, tell the airline that you are carrying
medical equipment and they will check it for free.
To repack the system, refer to the Repacking sec-
tion in the Patient System Guide.
Who should I contact if I am still having problems
with my patient electronics system?
If you have difficulty obtaining a good position or
cannot complete a reading after following the
steps above, refer to the Troubleshooting the
Patient Electronics System section of the Patient
System Guide or contact Technical Support at
1-844-692-6367.
