certified laptop / PC or a certified mini USB charger. Using a non-certified power supply can
lead to electrical and fire hazards.
Users should not attempt to replace or disconnect the Explore’s battery.
Environment Precautions
The Explore device is not designed for use in inflammable or explosive environments.
It should be used at room temperature. Exposure to conducting material, liquid, fire or heat
above 45° C can lead to overheating or electrical discharge.
Mentalab Explore is not to be used in wet environments either, as liquid intrusion can cause
electrical hazards. When applying electrodes on the subject’s head, the cap and the subject’s
hair should be dry.
Protect the device and electrodes from electrostatic discharge and take all precautions
regarding electromagnetic compatibility.
Signal Transmission
The operation of the movement sensors and wireless transmission can be compromised
within shielded rooms. It is not possible to communicate with the device from outside of the
shield.
Mentalab Explore uses the 2.4 GHz band for wireless transmission, so nearby Bluetooth and
wireless devices can cause interference. Therefore, ensure that enough transmission
bandwidth is available in your environment. We recommend working in environments with
low wireless and noise interference for better performance.
If the equipment is not installed according to the instructions, it may interfere with nearby
devices. If it does, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, try the
following measures:
−
Reorient or relocate the receiving device.
−
Increase the space between the Explore equipment and other wireless devices.
−
Use the equipment with proper shielding, especially if a device with high wattage is
nearby.
−
Consult the Explore technical support.
Equipment Maintenance
Mentalab Explore uses lightweight, highly flexible cables to provide comfort and easy cap
mounting, especially for multi-channel recording. These cables are sensitive and need to be
treated with special care. Following these guidelines will prolong the lifetime of ExG
electrodes:
