Step 4:
Reset the SmartNode (this is important!), by following the instructions in Section 3.2 or
those on the webpage from which you downloaded the firmware.
Step 5:
Reboot the SmartNode by switching it off and on again. The reboot will take about 1
minute.
Step 6:
Remove the LAN cable.

4.1 Troubleshooting and frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Concerning the ThermoSensor
1. Why do we place the ThermoSensor on the left or right side of the lower abdomen and not
elsewhere?
It is well known that the temperature of blood in a major artery closely reflects body
temperature, so measuring temperature from an area close to a major artery will give
readings that are more accurate than those measured from an area far from a major
artery. We recommend measuring temperature from the middle of the left or right lower
abdomen because that area is near a major artery called the external iliac artery.
2. How do I know whether the ThermoSensor is working?
Once the ThermoSensor is removed from its storage case, the LED light will blink about
every 5 seconds. If it is not blinking, the sensor is likely to have run out of battery or to be
faulty. In that case, contact Technical Support to purchase a replacement.
3. The ThermoSensor is in the correct position but the temperature seems to be lower than
expected. Why?
 Whenever a ThermoSensor is in contact with the skin, it will take about 30 minutes to
give an accurate temperature reading.
 If the ThermoSensor is not held closely against the skin, the temperature reading will
generally be lower than normal. Do ensure that the sensor is properly in contact with
the skin.
 If the ThermoSensor is not correctly positioned, the temperature reading will generally
be lower than normal.
 The ThermoSensor may give lower readings for obese people because the thicker
layer of tissue between the iliac artery (see FAQ #1) and the skin surface may affect
the transmission of heat from the artery to the skin surface. If you suspect this is
happening, we recommend that you check your child’s temperature with an ear
thermometer, note the difference between the ear reading and the ThermoSensor
reading, and then lower the ThermoSensor fever threshold of 37.8 °C by this
difference.
