Instructions

Preparations before use
Please perform the following steps before using this product：

1. Please charge the 1-lead Holter recorder to 100% at first.
2. Please install the exclusive application app on smart devices (such as smartphones and tablets).
3. Please follow the instructions on the app to complete the registration and related initial settings.

Get started
After completing the above pre-use preparations, please follow the steps below to start measuring with the 1-lead Holter recorder：

1. ECG patch preparation and installation

I. Please clean the chest where the ECG patch is expected to be attached first, and remove oil and skin debris as much as possible. If necessary, shave the body hair in this area. Do not use alcohol when cleaning, as this will increase the resistance of the skin.
II. Take out the ECG patch from the package, please do not uncover the protective film on the back.
III. The buckles (male/convex) at both ends of the ECG patch are fastened to the main unit (female/concave). Please make sure that the positive pole (＋) of the label sticker on the chassis must be in the same position as the positive pole (＋) of the ECG patch. The negative pole (－) of the label sticker must be in the same position as the negative pole (－) of the ECG patch diagram, and press lightly to ensure that the ECG patch is firmly combined with the host.

2. Host and APP connection
I. When the host is turned on, the Bluetooth function of the host will be turned on automatically.
II. After the user opens the APP on the smart device, please make sure that the Bluetooth of the device is turned on, and set the connection to the host on the APP.
III. Wait for the indicator light of the host to be steady blue, indicating that the connection is successful.

3. Host wear

I. Hold both sides of the main unit, uncover and remove the ECG patch protective film from one end.
II. Stick the host and ECG patch on the position between the chest and the collarbone, and make sure that the direction of the device is as shown in the figure above (switch button/USB hole downward). The positive pole (+) is on the bottom, and the negative pole (-) is on the top. Paste them at a mitre angle.
III. Gently press both sides of the ECG patch with your fingers to ensure that the ECG patch is fully attached to your body. Please avoid touching the switch button during the pressing process.
4. Connection considerations
I. Please keep the distance between the host and the smart device within 10 meters.
Too far or too much shielding may affect the Bluetooth transmission function.
II. The recording time of each piece of data takes 5 minutes. If the host is removed within 5 minutes of starting the measurement, the piece of data has no reference significance.
III. After the host is closed up, the APP on the smart device will automatically disconnect from the host.

Troubleshooting

The host cannot be
turned on| The battery voltage is too low, causing the machine to fail to turn on.|

• Please charge the host.
• For related precautions, please refer to ” Host charging method “.

Host cannot connect| The connection fails continuously, the transmission distance between the host and the smart device has exceeded the upper limit, or there is shielding that causes the connection to be abnormal.|

• Please restart the APP on the smart device and connect to the host.
• At the same time, confirm that the distance between the host and the smart device is within 10 meters, and the shielding has been removed.
• For related precautions, please refer to “Host and APP Connection” and ” Connection considerations”.

The pairing between
the smart device and
the host is abnormal| The Bluetooth function on the smart device is not turned on|

• Please make sure that the Bluetooth function is turned on

ECG data
disappeared| The battery is exhausted or the host is not properly connected to the smart device.|

• Please confirm the power of the host. When the host presents a low voltage, please charge it as soon as possible.
• At the same time, please confirm the connection between the host and the APP.
• For related precautions, please refer to “Host charging method” and “Host and APP connection”.

The recorded waveform has a lot of noise| It means that there is interference to the signal during the measurement. The interference may come from
poor contact of the ECG patch, excessive body movement, and strong electromagnetic interference in the
environment… etc.|

• Make sure to use a new ECG patch and the correct electrode sticker installation method.
• Please avoid excessive body movements when using it, and do not use it when performing high-intensity exercises (such as marathons, etc.).
• Please change the measurement location or turn off the product that can cause electromagnetic interference source.
• For related precautions, please refer to ” Preparations before use ” and ” Host wear “.
