Unpacking and Inspection

The following should be considered during the unpacking of a new eDoctor.

1.  Inspect the shipping carton and report any significant damage to TEKTELIC.
2. Unpacking should be conducted in a clean and dry location.
3. Do not discard the shipping box or inserts as they will be required if a unit is returned for repair or re-configuration.

Required Equipment

• A flat tool (e.g., a coin) is required to lock/unlock the battery lid located on the back of the device. No other special equipment or tools are required to power or operate the eDoctor.

Instructions for Use

• The eDoctor is shipped with a battery installed and an insulating sticker on the negative terminal of the battery to prevent device operation. Removing the sticker and re-inserting the battery will activate the device.
• After the sticker has been removed, the battery must be removed to turn off the device.
• Before activating the device, ensure that the eDoctor is provisioned on your LoRaWAN Network Server before proceeding with the instructions below.
• One way to provision your device is by downloading the TEKTELIC eDoctor Mobile App available on iOS and Android and following the app’s setup instructions.
• To activate the unit or to replace the battery when required, the following steps can be followed.

1. Locate the battery lid on the back of the eDoctor. Rotate the lid counter clockwise using a flat tool (e.g., a coin) to unlock it, and then remove the battery lid from the device.
2. Remove the battery from the battery holder. For activation of a newly received device, peel the sticker off the negative terminal of the battery. For battery replacement, use only an approved CR2477, 3V Lithium Manganese Dioxide coin cell.
3. Place the battery inside the eDoctor battery compartment so that the positive terminal of the battery is visible after insertion. Align the battery lid so that the arrow is pointing to the bottom left, and turn the lid clockwise with a flat tool (e.g., a coin) until there is a click and noticeable resistance to further rotation to lock it in.
4. After a few seconds, the LEDs on the eDoctor should start blinking, showing that the eDoctor is trying to join the LoRaWAN network.
   • The LEDs will stop blinking once the eDoctor has joined the LoRaWAN network, but you do not need to wait for this to happen before proceeding to step 5.
5. Attach the eDoctor to the adjustable chest strap using the snaps located on both the device and the strap. Make sure that the two metal probes in the middle of the device go through the holes in the strap.
6. Wear the eDoctor with the strap around the chest. It is meant to be worn on the upper torso with the device centered on the patient’s chest. Make sure to wear the device so that the two push buttons face upwards.

• Note: Adjust the strap length so that the eDoctor sits comfortably on the chest without sagging.
• Try taking shallow and deep breaths to ensure that the strap is adjusted properly.

Troubleshooting

• If the device remains blinking for more than two minutes (see step 4 in Section 0), then follow these troubleshooting actions.
• Ensure the device is provisioned on the Network Server
• Ensure the local LoRaWAN Gateway has also been provisioned on the Network Server
• Ensure the local LoRaWAN Gateway is online and within range of the device
