GETTING STARTED

Let’s start by reviewing what’s inside your package:

• Omegawave Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) sensor. Model name: OW-CB2.
Simultaneously measures both an electrocardiogram (ECG) and Direct Current (DC) Potential of
the Brain.

• ECG chest strap

• DC Potential cable

• Pre-gelled electrodes for DC Potential measurement

• Micro-USB charging cable

3

In order to use the Omegawave Personal App, you will need to have a device with Android 4.3 or a
newer mobile operating system and have downloaded the Omegawave App from the Google Play.

Please check the following:

• Ensure that your device has an active Internet connection via WLAN or mobile data (3G/4G).

• Please fully charge the sensor before first use by connecting the micro-USB cable to a computer

or USB compatible power source and attaching it to the sensor.

o A red light on the sensor will appear to indicate that the sensor is being charged. Once

the light turns off, the sensor is fully charged. A full charge will take approximately one
hour.

o If charging via a wall outlet, use a USB compatible power adapter (not included with the

product). Make sure that the adapter is specified with the following voltage and current
values: "output 5V DC, 0.5A - 2A max".

IMPORTANT!

Please ensure that the white dot on the
charging cable aligns with the sensor LED
as illustrated.

Please do not force the cable into the
sensor, otherwise you may break the
sensor’s micro-USB connector.

USING THE MEASUREMENT HARDWARE

ECG measurement

An ECG recording is used to assess your cardiac and metabolic state.

The sensor should be attached to the ECG chest strap and must be placed at the bottom of the
sternum. Soak the ECG chest strap electrode pads with water. The micro-USB port on the sensor needs
to be facing down; if you attach the sensor upside-down, your ECG will appear inverted and will cause
inaccurate assessment results.

The electrode pads on the inside of the chest strap must be aligned with the midaxillary line of the
body (position V6, shown as a red dot in the picture below). The chest strap should be tight around the
chest and it should not move out of position during normal breathing.

Female users should place the chest strap directly below or under a sports bra support band. When
possible, remove undergarments to ensure optimal placement of the chest strap.

DC Potential measurement

A DC Potential of the Brain recording is used to assess the state of your CNS.

One single-use, pre-gelled electrode should be used to connect the sensor to your forehead via the DC
Potential cable (please see the next page for illustrations). The other electrode should be attached to
the palm of your dominant hand at the base of the thumb, and also connected to the sensor via the DC
Potential cable. Each measurement requires a new set of gelled electrodes; using old or standard
ECG electrodes will result in inaccurate assessment results.

NOTE

Keep unused electrodes in their original pouch.

Always seal an opened pouch by tightly folding the top of the pouch to prevent the electrodes from
drying.
