Getting to Know Valedo

Valedo is understood to mean the following components:
 Sensors
 Double-sided medical tape
 Cable for charging or firmware updates
 Valedo case for transport and storage
The Valedo System is understood to mean all components with the computing
device.

The Sensors

The two sensors that come with Valedo are lightweight and easy to operate. They
are equipped with one button, one LED and one micro-USB port for charging and
firmware updates.
 The LED is only visible when illuminated.
If used on a regular basis, awaking the sensors from standby mode is as easy as
gently shaking them. If the sensors are in standby mode for more than 48 hours,
they will enter deep sleep mode.
 If the sensors are in standby mode, gently shake them to wake them up.
 If the sensors are in deep sleep mode, push the button to wake them up.
 To enter deep sleep mode manually, press and hold the button for 4
seconds.
 Sensors will enter standby mode after 30 seconds if they do not detect a
computing device to pair to.
 Sensors will enter deep sleep mode after approximately 5 minutes when
they cannot connect to your computing device but they sense continual
movement; this is important during transport to save battery power.
Once awake, the sensors will indicate with their LEDs that they are searching for a
Bluetooth® connection (see table below); when Bluetooth has appropriately been
enabled on the computing device, you can pair the sensors to it (see The
Computing Device below).
1. Plug the micro-USB ends of the charging cable into the sensors.
2. Plug the regular USB end of the charging cable into your personal computer
OR into an IEC 60950 approved USB charger.
 You may have a charger already; many new mobile phones and other
mobile products come with an IEC 60950 compliant USB charger.
 Charge the sensors for at least 90 minutes for a full charge.
 While the sensors are charging it is impossible to train.
