First, don’t be alarmed if the screen goes blank. To conserve battery power, your MotivAider is
designed to automati
cally go to “sleep” when there’s no activity for approximately 15 seconds. To
wake it up, just hold down the Mode (M) key for a couple of seconds or more.
You’re now at the HOME screen. What you see on the screen is
the prompting interval.
The prompting
interval is what determines how often you’ll get vibration signals.
This is
the MotivAider’s most basic setting, and it’s the only setting that many users will ever
have to change.
The Prompting Interval:
The prompting interval is the number of
Hours:Minutes:Seconds
that
will pass between vibration signals or prompts. The shorter the interval, the more frequent the
prompts. For example, a prompting interval of 00:10:00 means that you’ll get vibration signals
every 10 minutes, while a prompting interval of 0
0:00:10 means that you’ll get vibration signals
every 10 seconds.
You’ll notice that “REGULAR” appears below the prompting interval. REGULAR refers to the
type
of
interval. REGULAR means that you’ll be getting vibration signals at
fixed
intervals, that is,
intervals of uniform length rather than varying lengths. We’ll explain later how you can set your
MotivAider to send vibration signals at Average or Random intervals.
Changing the prompting interval:
To change the prompting interval from its default value of
00:10:00 (10 minutes), press the Select key (SEL) to reach a time field (Hours, Minutes or
Seconds) you wish to change. With the selected field blinking, use the Scroll keys (<- and +>) to
enter the desired value for that field. Then press SEL again to save the value you entered and
move to the next time field. [
TIP:
You can zero-out the entire prompting interval by holding down
both Scroll keys at the same time.]
Using the MotivAider with basic settings only:
Once your desired time interval is displayed,
you’re ready to use the MotivAider in its most basic way.
Press and hold M for a couple of seconds or more. The MotivAider will start counting down and will
send you a vibration signal when the countdown reaches zero. Then it will automatically start
counting down again from the time interval you entered, and it will send you another vibration
signal when the countdown reaches zero. The MotivAider will keep repeating this process until you
tell
it to stop.
Note that to prevent accidental input, some keys are automatically disabled during prompting.
When you want the MotivAider to stop prompting, just hold down M for a couple of seconds or
more to return to the HOME screen. (You can do this without having to look at the screen.)
When you’re not usin
g your MotivAider, leave it at the HOME screen. Remember, to conserve
battery power, it will go to sleep if there’s no input after about 15 seconds.
Whenever you’re ready to use the MotivAider again,
first wake it up if the screen is blank by
holding down M for a couple of seconds. The MotivAider will have remembered the prompting
interval you previously set (as well as any other settings), so to start prompting again using the
same interval, all you need to do is hold down M again for a couple of seconds or more.
