  • Page 25 As the Insight sensors establish and maintain contact, it may take a minute or so for the signal quality to stabilize. If sensor indicators remain red or black, check that the sensors are making comfortable but firm contact with the scalp.
  • Page 26 Note the device requires 5V supply and it draws a maximum of 0.5 A from the charge port. If it is 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 0.5 A. Note that if the port does not support extended power mode, Insight will draw 0.1 A and it will charge much more slowly.
