skin’s conductance and electrodermal activity. This electrodermal activity represents your brain
activity and as soon as your concentration and awareness starts to drop, StopSleep will alert you
immediately.
An example of Electrodermal activity as user

then ‘sleep.’

ENGLISH
First time use
To familiarize yourself with the StopSleep alerts, we advise you to test it in an non-dangerous
environment such as at home at night watching television, or even going to bed.This will allow
you to dierentiate between the two types of alerts:WARNING!and DANGER!
We guarantee you will be very quickly convinced of how amazingly eective StopSleep is!
Battery charge level and charging
From time to time, it is recommended to fully charge/discharge the battery. This will improve the

Switching StopSleep on
To switch the StopSleep on, press the ON/OFF button for 3 seconds. The unit will beep and flash
green. A succession of sharp beeps will follow, depending on the battery level:
Battery charge level when switching the device on:
No beeps Battery fully charged
1 Beep Over 50 % battery charge left
2 Beeps Over 25 % battery charge left
3 Beeps About 2 hours of battery time left
4 Beeps About 1 hour of battery time left
5 Beeps Battery nearly flat, recharge before use
Check that the battery is fully charged and put StopSleep on any two fingers of either your right
or left hand. Whilst the StopSleep skin sensors are establishing contact with your skin, the LED
will flash green every 3 seconds. Once contact has been completely established the LED will then
flash green once every minute. You can check that the unit is on at any time by briefly pressing
the on/o button. The LED will flash green to confirm that it is powered on and has sucient
charge or will flash red if the battery is nearly flat and needs recharging.
If you remove StopSleep at any time, the device will beep every 2 minutes. This indicates that
it has lost contact with your skin and is no longer monitoring your electrodermal activity and
providing any protection.

Understanding StopSleep alarms
If your brain activity drops under a certain level, StopSleep will alert you.
There are 2 levels of alerts:
WARNING!

even though you may not necessarily have
Vibration
noticed.
Your concentration and awareness
DANGER!
Loud Beep + Vibration
have dropped significantly.
Take a break!
Turning O and charging
Turn StopSleep o by pressing the on/o button for 3 seconds. The LED will flash green followed
by a deep tone.
Connect either the home or vehicle charger supplied with StopSleep to the micro USB socket on
the side of the unit. The LED will flash red every 5 seconds to confirm that it is charging correctly.
The LED will turn from red to green once the battery is fully charged.
Please note:
StopSleep must be switched o when charging. If you attempt to charge StopSleep whilst powered on,
it will beep every 2 minutes. If the battery has been completely discharged it is advisable to re-charge it
using the AC adaptor. If the battery has been completely discharged, it could take up to 15 minutes before
you see the red LED begin to flash indicating that it is charging correctly.
Please Note:
• StopSleep can alert even when you are not feeling obviously tired or drowsy. This could be due to a
number of reasons.
• Your level of attention or concentration can drop imperceptibly without you necessarily noticing.
If your brain activity remains constant for a long time StopSleep might alert you to check your reaction
time (on a long drive for example);
• A big change in temperature can also trigger an alert (due to the sweat from your skin suddenly
changing).

User Recommendations
StopSleep has been designed to alert in case of drowsiness and drops in concentration and
awareness. StopSleep should not be used as substitute for driving with due care and attention.
The user is responsible for paying full attention to road conditions and under no circumstances
should StopSleep be used to attempt to keep the user awake when feeling over-tired or too tired
to drive safely. When driving always take regular breaks and always take a break at the first signs
of fatigue or a drop in concentration. If StopSleep alerts, stop driving immediately.
