Assembling the Insight

Step 1: Attach the rear arm to the Insight.

Step 2: Attach the sensors to the arms.

Charging the Insight

Plug the cable into the Insight (see diagram) ensuring the connector is fully
inserted. Attach the cable to an active USB port on your PC or a USB charger.
Note the device requires 5V supply and will draw a maximum of 0.5A from the
charge port. If plugged into a USB port on your PC, the Insight will check for the
maximum available current from the port up to a limit of 0.5A. Note that if the
port does not support extended power mode, Insight will draw 0.1A and will
charge much more slowly. Try a different USB port if Insight takes more than 2
hours to reach full charge.

Turning On the Headset

The Insight’s power switch is above the charging port. A white light above the

Emotiv logo indicates the headset is on. *** diagram

Pairing the Headset

Devices with Bluetooth(™) 4.0 SMART Low Energy (BTLE):

The Insight can pair using BTLE. Make sure that your device’s Bluetooth

connection is turned on. The headset should pair automatically. Note that not all
Bluetooth 4.0 devices support the SMART (low energy) protocol. You may need
to purchase an adaptor for use with some PCs and older Macs. See

www.emotiv.com for recommended BTLE adaptors.

Using an Emotiv Universal USB Receiver (OPTIONAL):
Plug the receiver into your device’s USB port. There are two LEDs on the device
which indicate connection status. When first plugged into the USB port, one
green LED will flash slowly. When a headset is paired, that indicator LED will
flicker rapidly and a second LED will glow continuously. If the second LED is
blinking slowly the headset has passed out of range or switched off, and the
receiver will wait to reestablish contact with the same headset. If you wish to
pair that receiver with a different headset, unplug the receiver and re-insert it. If
you have problems establishing contact, make sure all other receivers are
unplugged, all local Bluetooth devices are currently turned off, then reinsert the
receiver and try again. You may also try turning the headset off and on again to
establish a connection.
