Priming
Priming fills the dosing tube with the supplement from the container to the tip of the dosing tube. Make sure that the supplement is at the end of the outlet dosing tube before proceeding to the calibration. The head can be primed by pressing “Long press to priming” / “Stop” priming buttons in the App.

Calibration

The instructions in the App will guide you through a simple calibration process using the laboratory grade measuring cylinder provided with the unit.
Make sure that the measuring cylinder is clean and dry before each measurement as any drops left inside will affect the accuracy of the reading.Due to the physical properties of liquids the surface of the liquid inside a measuring cylinder is flat in the middle but rise slightly at the sides. The correct measurement is at the center (lower part) of the surface and not the sides.
The measuring cylinder has printed graduations every 0.1ml however you should estimate the volume to the nearest Inlet Outlet 0.05ml which is half way between the printed graduations.

Always hold the tip of the dosing tube at the center of the cylinder so that the drops do not stick to the cylinder walls.
During the calibration process the doses a predetermined number of rotations of the dosing head that should give a volume of between 3 and 4ml. Once you enter the exact volume into the App it will give a confirmation dose of exactly 4ml so that you can confirm that the calibration was done correctly. The confirmation dose should be between 3.95 and 4.05ml. If not, you will be guided to repeat the calibration process again.

Scheduling Automatic Dosing Schedule

A selection dosing schedules can be set to run for each head on a regular daily basis, or on selected days of the week. Additional manual doses can be added at any time and without disrupting an automated schedule. The schedule can also be switched on and off as required, without losing your settings.
Single dose, Hourly dose and Custom Periods dose schedules are based on a desired total daily dose (total amount of supplement that should be dosed per day) for each head. The schedule will divide the total daily dose volume equally between the total number (1-24) doses per day, so that you can easily update your daily dose volume anytime. Individual doses may vary by up to 1 drop throughout the day to ensure the single drop accuracy for the complete daily dose. The total daily dose per head can be from 0.2ml up to 999.9ml in increments of 0.1ml, however the smallest individual dose is limited to 0.2ml.
You can change the total daily dose or the number of doses whenever
desired.Dose will automatically recalculate the dosing schedule for the rest of the day and if necessary will present you with options regarding how to proceed. For example.If you increase your daily dose in the middle of the day, but have already run some doses at that point, but still have some doses to run, the My Chihiros app will prompt you to make a one-off compensation by adding the added dose to the remaining doses for the day and start running your new schedule the next day.

The effective time of all automatic scheduling settings, set up on the same day, if dose has not been run today, all schedules are executed immediately on this day, if the set up schedule has been run, and reset the setting, there are 2 cases, the update schedule is less than the previous schedule dose amount. will not running today, and the new schedule is executed the next day; if the update schedule dose volume is more than the previous one, App will be reminded whether the amount of the new schedule setting on the same day minus the amount already dosed in this day, dose the left in all at once, or you can cancel dose today, new schedule is executed starting the next day.

Run Delay

To prevent individual additives reacting with each other, if you switch on the run delay function, each channel will be added after a certain interval of 30 seconds and if two heads are scheduled to be set at exactly the same time, the head on the left will take precedence. The run delay function is only used for automatic scheduling and is not available manual mode.

Single dose

Your daily dose will be given in one portion, once a day.

1. Select the “Single dose” option.
2. Press on “Single dose” to set the total daily dose, the specific time that you wish the dose to be given, and your dosing rote.
3. Press “Save” to implement the new schedule settings and return to the Head Settings page.

Recurrence (days of week)

Select “Daily” if you want your schedule to run seven days a week. This is the default setting.
Select “Select days” if you wish your schedule to run on specific days of the week. The selection can be updated at any time.

Manual Dosing

Manual Dosing enables you to dose a specific volume on-demand at any time without affecting the automatic dosing schedule and is available even when the schedule is turned Off.
The volume of Manual Doses given today is displayed separately from the automatically scheduled doses in both the Homepage and the Dashboard.

Supplement Volume Monitor

The “Supplement Volume Monitor” automatically deducts the amount of supplement dosed (scheduled and manual) from the last updated volume of supplement in the container. MY CHIHIROS app shows the number of days left in the container that can be used for dosing based on the current schedule. By default, the Supplement Volume Monitor will notify you three days before your supplement runs out.

Missed dose compensation

Automated doses may miss their scheduled times due to external circumstances such as a power outage.When the ‘missed dose compensation function’ is enabled, all missed doses for the day (after 0:00 midnight) will be compensated once the doses is back in normal operation mode. If you disable this function,dose will not be rescheduled if they are not run on time(This feature will not take effect until the battery is installed).

Power-off memory

After installing a CR2032 button battery, it can ensure that the clock is accurate, the program is normal, and the settings will not be lost in the event of a power failure (the battery needs to be purchased separately).
