Practical Considerations; Handling And Maintenance - Gait up PhysiRun Lab User Manual

5. Practical considerations

5.1 Handling and maintenance

Physilog®5 should be handled carefully. In particular, it should not receive shocks, such as
fall, crushing, being hit, etc. Do not press forcefully on the on/off button, this can damage
the button.
Warning: Do not use or charge the Physilog® if the sensor or its case is
damaged. Contact Gait Up about what further action is needed when the case
is damaged. In case the battery is damaged immediately disconnect the
sensor from any plug and move the device away from flammable materials
and contact Gait Up's customer support.
•
To benefit from the maximal battery life, fully charge Physilog
doing measurements (LED shines green when connected to a computer or
charger, you can also check the battery level with the Physilog
Android Application available on www.gaitup.com/support).
•
Copy trial recordings to your computer: Physilog
save important data. GaitUp cannot be held responsible if data stored on the
sensor are lost.
•
®
Physilog 5 can be used outside. Do not use Physilog
activities without additional waterproofing.
•
Storage: Store in a cool (0 °C—30 °C) and dry place. The provided box is the
perfect place for your sensor.
•
Cleaning: Sensors can be cleaned gently using alcohol wipes. Before you clean the
device makes sure it is turned off and disconnect all cables. Alcohol used in excess
may damage the sensor's waterproofing. Make sure to use wipes and not put liquid
alcohol directly on the sensor. Do not clean the USB entry with alcohol.
•
Each sensor is individually calibrated by Gait Up and they do not need yearly
recalibration for gait measurements.
•
Do not throw Physilog
considering local laws and rules about electronic waste and batteries.
•
Make sure to know which Physilog
analysis—First digits of file name are automatically increased (exceeding 999 and
new date resets the increment back to 1). Note that date of the file generation
(recorded between one start and stop of the Physilog
file and the Matlab structure "header". If you wish to adapt internal date and time of
the Physilog
•
Do not remove the "conf.bin" file from the Physilog, otherwise it will return to a
default configuration based on original configuration.
•
Do not introduce pointy objects into the small hole besides the USB entry, this
irreversibly damages the waterproofing of the sensor.
