Pairing the unit for the first time

After you set up your account you will be asked to pair your Ava with the app. Pair the Ava before you wear it for the first night. In order to do so, follow the instructions on the screen:

• Turn on your phone's Bluetooth
• Connect Ava to power through the USB cable.
  The LED on your Ava should be flashing blue when the device is in pairing mode.
  If you do not see this light, unplug the device from the charger and plug it again.
• After your device is recognized, tap "Pair Ava"

Your Ava is paired and ready to be used.

Wearing the Device

Ava is designed to be worn only while you're sleeping.
Ava must be worn for at least four hours per night. After three hours of sleep, your physiological signs become stable and accurate measurements can be taken. If you wear your Ava for at least four hours but do not sleep, we will still show you your physiological data but the data quality is poor so we will not consider it in our algorithm.

Wrist placement

To get accurate data, Ava should fit snugly on top of your wrist, right below your wrist bone.

• Do not wear the device while it is connected to power
• Ava has been tested for biocompatibility and should not cause allergic reactions.
• If you have tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, or other musculoskeletal disorders, consult your doctor prior to use. If you feel any discomfort on your wrists while or after wearing the product, please discontinue use.

Recording data

The device automatically detects that it is being worn and starts recording data.
When you start wearing the device you will see:

Green LED for five seconds, which means that the device has started recording and you can go to sleep or...

Red LED that flashes every 10 seconds, which means that the memory of your Ava is full or its battery is empty. In any case, connect your Ava to the power cord, connect it with the app and wait for the green light to appear on your Ava.

Synchronize the device with the app

When you wake up in the morning:

1. Connect the device to the power cable
2. Make sure that the Bluetooth on your mobile phone is enabled and you are connected to internet.
3. Open the Ava app
4. Synchronization will take place automatically and after a few moments you can see all the data of the previous night on your smartphone.

Since Ava records more than 3 million data points every night you should synchronize every day to ensure that you get the most accurate prediction. Also, do not forget to charge Ava during the day so that it will be ready to be used at night.
