a.  To upload the data immediately, press and hold both buttons simultaneously for 1 s until the pod 

displays “UPLd”.  Once the pod is in upload mode, follow the instructions in AMP Ware 
(Section 5.3) for uploading the data to the PC. 

b.  To upload the data later, press and hold the right button to turn the unit off.  When the unit is 

turned back on it will go immediately to “DATA” mode.  Follow the instructions above for 
uploading. 

c.  To clear the data from the pod memory, press and hold the left button.  The pod will display 

“CLR” once the data has been cleared.  It will then scroll through the date and time before 
displaying “PUSH 

START

”, indicating that it is ready to start data collection.  See Step 4 for 

instructions on data collection. 

 

6.  To turn the unit off, press and hold the right button until the LCD displays “OFF”. 

 
 

3.2    Pod Power Supply 

 

3.2.1  Battery Life 

The pod is powered by a single AAA battery.   The maximum duration of data collection depends on the 
activity level of the user and the type of battery however a fresh battery should allow for at least 7 days of 
continuous data collection.   
 

3.2.2  Battery Replacement 

To replace the battery, open the door on the bottom side of the pod using a coin.  If the door does not spring 
open then knock the bottom corner of the pod, near the door, on a firm surface until the door opens and the 
battery falls out.  Insert a new battery with the positive terminal pointing out (as shown by the “+” sign on the 
hatch).   
 

3.2.3  Loss of Power 

If the battery runs out during data collection the LCD will go blank.  When this occurs, the data collected until 
that time is saved in the pod.  To upload the data to the PC, replace the battery then turn the pod on.  It will 
display “DATA” indicating there is data in the memory waiting to be uploaded.
