Plug the BioChip
BioChips are connected to the BioCAM X through the lock system, which is operated by a two-position
button. When the button is pressed till its mid position the BioChip is released or the locking system is
opened to allow to plug a BioChip into the BioCAM X. When the button is pressed till its end position the
BioChip is locked and connected to the BioCAM X.
To plug the BioChip into the BioCAM X:
1. Insert the BioChip into the BioCAM X sliding it along the BioChip bay. The BioChip should enter into
the BioCAM’s BioChip slot till the distance between the BioChip end and the BioCAM X end is approx-
imately 7mm (1/4 in). If the BioChip does not enter till the ending position, try to push the BioCAM X’s
lock button till its mid position to release the locking system and then try re-inserting the BioChip.
2. Push the Lock button in the BioCAM X to its end position to lock the BioChip to the BioCAM X con-
nector. On BrainWave X software the BioChip LED icon in the Device Status Bar should turn ON.

3. To start using the BioChip, plug the electrode reference into the BioCAM X and place the platinum
end of the electrode inside the BioChip’s reservoir, which must be filled in with a physiological saline
solution (or a simple saline solution when performing system testings).
