Maintenance
Cleaning
Gently wipe the headband and electrode areas with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Ensure the device is completely dry before storing or recharging.
Storage
When not in use, store the headband in its portable storage case to protect it from dust and damage. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Battery Care
To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the headband frequently. If storing for an extended period, charge the battery to approximately 50% every few months.
Troubleshooting
- Connectivity Issues: Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your device and the headband is charged. If connection drops, try restarting the app and the headband. Ensure the electrodes have good contact with your skin.
- App Not Found (Android): Verify your Android OS version is 10 or higher. If the app is not found on the Google Play Store, contact SereniBrain customer support for alternative download instructions.
- Inaccurate Readings: Ensure the headband is worn correctly and the electrodes are making firm, consistent contact with your skin. Clean the electrode areas if necessary.
- Forehead Marks: Temporary marks on the forehead from the electrodes are normal due to skin contact. These should disappear shortly after removing the headband. If discomfort persists, adjust the headband's fit.
