Quickguide for Epi-Care mobile

 

In this video, you will get a quick guide to Epi-Care mobile. You set up the system step by step: unpacking, assembly, charging, and entering alarm numbers. Finally, you test the alarm so you know it is working correctly.

1. Unpacking

When you open the package, you will find the sensor, the smartphone, and the necessary chargers. An instruction manual is also included, which you should read and follow.

2. Charging

Before use, both the sensor and the smartphone must be charged.

3. Insert SIM Card

Insert the SIM card on the left side of the phone. If you are unsure how to open the SIM tray, you can find guidance in the phone’s instruction manual.

Important: Always use a SIM card without a PIN code.

4. Fasten the Sensor to the Arm

Place the sensor on your arm using the supplied strap. Adjust it so that it sits comfortably, yet firmly. Choose the arm you use the least – for example, if you are right-handed, the left arm is recommended.

5. Connect the Sensor and Epi-Care mobile

When you switch on the phone, Epi-Care mobile will automatically connect to the sensor.

6. Setting up Alarm Numbers

Switch on the smartphone. The Epi-Care mobile app will open automatically. Tap on “Alarmering”. Enter the telephone numbers that should receive alarms in case of a seizure. You can enter one alarm number and one backup number. Check that the numbers have been entered correctly.

Remember: When the setup is complete, you must save your changes.

7. Testing the Alarm

When the system is set up, the alarm must be tested. Take the sensor and shake it with small, quick movements for at least 15 seconds. Continue until the alarm is triggered. Check that Epi-Care mobile sends both messages and calls as expected.

8. Receiving the Alarm

When you have activated an alarm, Epi-Care mobile will call the alarm number. You receive the alarm by answering the call and then hanging up again. Epi-Care mobile always sends the alarm twice, and you will also receive an SMS.

9. Completion

When you have gone through all the steps, Epi-Care mobile is ready for use. Please read the instruction manual if you want to learn about all the functions the system offers.
