Information for Site Administrators

Charge the LEAP

The LEAP should be fully charged before assignment and deployment. It takes up to 2-3 hours to fully charge a LEAP. Charging temperature range is 0°C to 40°C.

1. Connect the charging dock to a wall outlet using the supplied wall plug.

2. Connect the LEAP to the ActiGraph LEAP™ Charger by placing the LEAP on top of the charger making sure the charging pins are aligned to the correct grooves on the charger. The LEAP will snap into place magnetically

3. While the LEAP is connected to the charger, an animated battery icon will appear on the screen to indicate charging. The LEAP is fully charged once a solid battery icon appears on the screen.

4. The LEAP is fully charged once a solid battery icon appears on the screen. Remove the LEAP from the charger by pulling the LEAP away from the charger
   Please note : An internet connection is not required to charge the LEAP(s).

Assigning a LEAP to a new participant

To assign a LEAP to a new participant, refer to the Centre Point Instructions For Use.

1. After assigning the LEAP to a participant, wait for the LEAP to go from halt mode into active mode, as indicated by the running person icon in the upper left corner of the screen. This takes approximately 90 seconds.

Halt Mode
Stop icon will be displayed if the LEAP is not collecting data.

Active Mode
A running person icon will be displayed if the LEAP is collecting data.

Information for Participants

Wearing the Activity Monitor
Wear the activity monitor on your non-dominant wrist like a wristwatch. The non-dominant wrist is the one that is not used to write. The activity monitor should only be worn by the study participant.
Strap Instructions
Pull the strap through the buckle so that it is comfortably snug and there is no slack or gaps between the strap and your skin. Insert the tongue of the buckle into the nearest hole. For the best data quality, tighten the strap one hole further during exercise.

Confirming the Fit

• The strap should feel secure but comfortable on the wrist. Participants can rotate their wrist back and forth quickly and check if the device stays in position on their wrist.
• The device should not be affixed too far up the arm, such that it might slide down toward the hand and loosen.
• The device should not be affixed too far toward the hand; if the wrist is bent upwards, the back of the hand should not touch the body of the device.

Preventing a skin reaction while wearing the LEAP device
Avoid using perfume, lotion, suntan/sunscreen or insect repellent on the area where the activity monitor is worn. If the activity monitor comes in contact with these or any other chemicals, clean the device and silicone strap with 70% IPA and the skin with soapy water, making sure to completely rinse and dry the skin, device, and strap before putting back on. As a preventative measure, the activity monitor and strap can be cleaned on a regular basis.

Please note:

• You may wear the activity monitor while bathing or showering. However, remove the activity monitor for any water activity that exceeds 1 meter of depth for more than 30 minutes.
• Data will not be negatively affected by lint, dust, or direct sunlight.
• Pets have the potential to destroy a device. Keep devices away from pets and other animals that may chew, bite, urinate on, swallow, and/or destroy a device in any other method imaginable.

Charging the LEAP
The LEAP should be fully charged periodically according to your study protocol. It takes up to 2-3 hours to fully charge a LEAP.

1. Connect the charging dock to a wall outlet using the supplied wall plug.
2. Connect the LEAP to the ActiGraph LEAP™ Charger by placing the LEAP on top of the charger making sure the charging pins are aligned to the correct grooves on the charger. The LEAP will snap into place magnetically. Please note: An internet connection is not required to charge the LEAP(s).
3. While the LEAP is connected to the charger, an animated battery icon will appear on the screen to indicate charging. The LEAP is fully charged once a solid battery icon appears on the screen.

Please note : An internet connection is not required to charge the LEAP(s)

Turning on the Activity Monitor Screen

To activate the activity monitor screen, simply press and release the button located on the right side within 2 seconds. The screen will stay illuminated for five seconds before automatically shutting off.

Marking an Event on the Activity Monitor

1. Press and hold the button located on the right side of the activity monitor for at least 2.5 seconds. After one second, you will see the icon displayed below.

2. As you continue to press and hold the button, the circle will gradually fill up until the final event marker icon is displayed below.

Frequently Asked Questions

On which wrist should the LEAP be worn?
The LEAP should be worn on the non-dominant wrist. The non-dominant wrist is the one that is not used to write.

What is the battery life of the LEAP?
Approximately 32 days.

What if the LEAP battery dies in the field?
If the participant is using the Centre Point Data Hub or Centre Point Connect during the study, charge the LEAP using either the Centre Point Data Hub or the Wall Plug. If they are not using either the Centre Point Data Hub or Centre Point Connect, the participant will need to bring the LEAP back to the site to recharge and reinitialize since depleting the battery will cause the LEAP to lose its time.

Halt Mode
Stop icon will be displayed if the LEAP is not collecting data.

Active Mode
A running person icon will be displayed if the LEAP is collecting data.

What if the LEAP is lost or broken?
If a LEAP is lost or broken, report lost or broken LEAP(s) to your Site Administrator and ActiGraph.
What should a participant do when traveling?
If a participant is traveling, the participant should be instructed to bring the charging dock and USB cable with them to charge the LEAP.

What if a participant reports a skin reaction?

Although the LEAP device and LEAP silicone strap are tested to the ISO 10993 standard for biological safety, we do receive occasional reports of skin irritation as it’s not something that can be 100% guarded against. This can be due to allergies, environmental factors, or extended exposure to irritants like soap, sweat or other chemicals. For components which contact the skin, ActiGraph does not use materials which are known to be irritants such as Nickel and Latex. If the reaction is mild, the recommendation is to remove the activity monitor  and clean the device and silicone strap with 70% IPA and the skin with soapy water, making sure to completely rinse and dry the skin, device, and strap before putting back on. If there are any open wounds or severely irritated skin, discontinue wearing the activity monitor to prevent further irritation and have it returned to the site. Then contact ActiGraph Support team for further assistance. We do offer alternative wristband options that might be more suitable for the participant.

What is the typical service life of the LEAP?
The expected service life is three (3) years based on the life expectancy of the battery during normal usage.

What is the shelf life of the LEAP?
The battery has a life expectancy of two (2) years during storage, without battery conditioning.

What are the packaging materials included in the Participant Package?
The boxes we ship in are 200 lb test-rated cardboard boxes (double ream). The bubble wrap that we use is 1.8 mil – low density polyethylene, ½” thick and also we use a 3/16” thick wrap.

What to do at the end of the study?
At the end of the study and after collecting all LEAP(s), wall plugs, and charging docks, contact our ActiGraph Support team at support@theactigraph.com and provide your Study Protocol, Site Number, and Serial Number of the LEAP(s) being returned. The ActiGraph Support team will provide you with the return shipping label and further instructions.
