BEFORE USING

Attachments Installation

The attachments will adhere to the handle by magnetic force when the attachments are placed near the handle as shown below.

How to Hold the Equipment

Make sure the attachment is firmly connected to the handle before using. It is recommended to hold the equipment as shown below.

TAKING A MEASUREMENT

When the equipment is on and once it detects tremor, data collecting will start. The indicating light breaths in blue.

The data collecting process takes a few minutes (measurement period), when it is completed, the indicating light breaths in green. Each measurement period the equipment exports a measurement result including frequency and amplitude.

NOTICE

Reboot the equipment before taking the next measurement.
Do not power off or put down the equipment before the measurement completes.

Data Transferring

All data stored in the equipment will be transferred while charging. To transfer data, please connect the equipment with power supply by the charging cable.

If WIFI connects failed, please follow the instructions in “GYENNO SPOON” to retry.

Data transfer will start once a wireless connection is successfully set up. When transferring data, the indicating light flashes in blue and when the process is completed, the indicating light stays in red (charging) or green (charged).

View the Measurement

The measurement results, including the frequency (Hz) and amplitude (mm), can be viewed in “GYENNO SPOON”.

NOTICE

If no measurement results are shown, it may be caused by:

None or incomplete data transfer due to WIFI connection problems.
The measurement is terminated.

ASSIST TO EAT

Shaking Offset

Once the equipment detects tremor, the internal motors actively offset the shaking to keep stable.

AFTER USING
