fessional, other than following the instructions in this manual. If assisting others

by patient users.
For ECG recording you will need the following:
Beat2Phone ECG Electrode Strap
Beat2Phone ECG Sensor and Charging Connector
Beat2Phone ECG Application installed to a mobile device
The ME System consists of the Beat2Phone ECG Sensor, charging connector,
electrode strap, and the mobile application. The mobile device is not part of the
ME System provided by VitalSignum Oy. All provided parts are in the product
package.
Make sure you’re in a comfortable, clean and private environment before attach-
ing the device to your chest. Having access to an electric connection for charging
the sensor and the mobile device is also beneficial. Make sure your hands are
clean when handling any part of Beat2Phone and do not place any of it parts on
unclean surfaces or in place where they may be damaged by children, pets, fall-
ing, water, overheating or mechanical forces.
Start by attaching the electrode strap to your chest. Moisten the skin under the
electrodes with clean water to ensure good contact. After the strap is attached,
check that the Beat2Phone application is running on the mobile device. Turn on
the sensor by slapping it against your palm. A blinking green LED indicates that
the sensor is on. If the sensor fails to turn on, try charging it.
NOTE!
Before turning the sensor on and connecting it to the strap, you should
check the battery charge by connecting the sensor to the powered charging
connector. A green LED indicates the device is fully charged and ready to use.
Attach the sensor to the sensor snap connectors ensuring the LEDs are facing
up and the heart symbol is turned the right way around. A green LED starts blink-
ing at the pace of your heartbeat once the sensor detects your pulse. Allow the
sensor to stabilize for two minutes before using the mobile application for record-
ing measurements.
