9. CORE Use
Charge Battery
The battery in CORE will need to be charged; insert the included
micro USB cable into the USB port on the device and plug the
other end into a UL-certified USB wall charger. The LED will turn
solid yellow, signifying that it is charging. The LED will change to
solid green when the device is fully charged. The fully charged
battery should last for at least 8 hours in continuous transmission
mode (ON, Bluetooth paired with Eko App).
NOTE:
CORE will not turn on while it is plugged in and charging.
Power Off
When CORE is turned Off, analog rather than digital sounds will
be transmitted and heard from the stethoscope. “OFF” is when
the toggle is protruding from the surface of the volume buttons.
Power On
Depress the power slider to move the switch from the OFF to the
ON position. “ON” is when the toggle is flush with the surface of
the volume buttons.
Test the Volume Level
CORE’s sound level can be amplified in 7 increments up to 40X
amplification of an acoustic stethoscope. Change the volume
level by clicking the plus (+) and minus (-) volume buttons on the
side of CORE.
Bluetooth Pairing
First, enable Bluetooth on the selected mobile device. On the
iOS device go to Settings > Bluetooth > and tap the slider to turn
Bluetooth ON.
The mobile device is now ready to record sounds from CORE. If
Bluetooth pairing is unsuccessful, an error message will appear
in the App and no sounds will be recorded. If the Bluetooth
connection is successful the LED will turn from flashing white to
solid white (See Section 6.1 for the LED states of the device).
