• 

Generate participant invitation codes

• 

Create task names

• 

Upload surveys for study participants

•

NOTE: Before beginning the steps in this guide, you 

must, at a minimum, create a study and one partic-

ipant ID, and the intended participant must accept 

the invite code (in the Kernel App on iOS or Android) 

granting permission for their data to be viewed. 

Detailed instructions for all these tasks are available at: 

docs.kernel.com

Once you’re ready to begin, follow the steps in this 

guide to connect, prepare, and configure your Flow 

headset and to record your first session.

Unpacking Kernel Flow

IMPORTANT: Before proceeding, review the 

safety warnings on the first page of this booklet. 

Kernel Flow is shipped with specialized protective 

packaging. Upon unpacking, 

be sure to preserve 

and save these materials 

so the device can be safely 

moved or shipped in the future. 

1. 

Remove the foam tray containing the Module 

Storage Boxes and set it aside.

2. 

Remove the Instapak foam insert covering the 

headset. Do not discard this. 

3. 

Take the Flow headset out of the case. This 

wrapped package contains the headset as well 

as the headset stand.

4. 

Remove the anti-static bag covering the headset.

5. 

Unscrew and remove the red Restraining Bolt 

that holds the headset to the stand. 

Handling the Headset

•  When you remove the headset from the case, 

remove the Headset Stand with it.

•  Whenever possible, use the headset stand. 

•  Always use the flat Support Tabs (under the 

Temporal plates) to lift or carry the device. 

 

•  Never lift or hold the headset by the hinges on 

the top or by a single plate.

The headset should always be kept tightly tensioned. 

Loosening should only be done temporarily to get the 

device on and off the stand or a participant’s head. 
Even while moving the headset from one support 

element to another, tightening keeps the plates from 

excessive movement which can damage the device.  

•  To tighten, turn the Tension Dial clockwise until 

it is snug. 

•  To loosen, turn the Tension Dial a half-turn  

counterclockwise to release the tension, then 

gently pull the plates apart as needed to fit the 

device on or off of a support element.
