Upgrading If you are upgrading from a previous version of Actiware (or Sleepwatch or
Rhythmwatch) you should remove any previously installed versions.
See Uninstallation Procedures later in this section.
CAUTION! Before proceeding, back up any previously gathered data
prior to installation. Store in a secure location, either on a oppy disk,
CD-ROM, or within a separate drive space.
First Time
Installation
If this is the first time Actiware will be installed, please continue to Installing
Actiware later in this section.
Installing Actiware / Actiware-CT
Installing from a CD
1. Insert the CD-ROM into the CD/DVD drive and wait a moment for the
Installation Menu to appear. If the CD/DVD drive does not accommodate the
autorun function, then select Start > My Computer and select the CD/DVD
drive from the list and double-click to access the files.
Select CDMENU.EXE and double-click.
2. Select Install Actiware Version 5 from the menu.
Note: You must be a member of the Administrator’s group in order to
install this software.
Note: Users of Actiware (Research Version) must be a member of the
Power User or Administrator’s group in order to run the software.
Actiware-CT (version 5.1 or greater) users do not need to be a member of
the Power User or Administrative group.

3. TheInstallShield™Wizardwillguideyouthroughtheinstallationprocess.
4. Check the radio button for I accept the terms in the license agreement.
Click the Next button to continue.
Important! The Software License Agreement must be accepted before
installation will occur.
Note: Actiware-CT requires the user to authenticate using their Windows
or Network username and password. Please contact your local
administrator with any issues or questions.
End-User License Agreement
1-9
When you purchase Actiware, a Proof of Purchase certificate will be shipped
with the installation CD. There will be a Proof of Purchase code printed on the
certificate. This code will always begin with “POP-xxxx-xxxx…” and cannot be
entered into the software and applied as an activation key. To obtain an activation
key, you will need to contact Mini Mitter/Respironics and give the Proof of
Purchase code to a customer service associate. The best and most efficient
method to contact technical support is via e-mail (mm@respironics.com). You
may also call technical support at 800.685.2999 during normal business hours of
8 am to 5 pm PST. The associate will then generate an activation key and e-mail
it to you. Once the activation key is applied to Actiware, it will never expire and
will be valid for all future versions of Actiware 5.x. The key however, will not
work in a future version 6.0 or greater.
Registering Actiware
Both versions of Actiware have a “try it before you buy it” feature. You may
download or otherwise obtain an evaluation copy of Actiware and use the
software prior to purchasing it. An activation key cannot be obtained without
first paying for a license; however this does not prevent you from installing and
running a full featured copy of Actiware for 30 days or 50 uses. Even if you have
purchased Actiware, it is not necessary to immediately register Actiware. Please
press the Continue Unregistered button to access Actiware software and contact
technical support via e-mail (mm@respironics.com) at a convenient time to
obtain your activation key.
Actiware activation window
NOTE: Registration is not needed for Actiware-CT 5.1 or greater.
1-10 Introduction and Setup
Note: To deter the misuse of activation keys, the key can only be applied
for 7 days after it is generated.
There are two parts to an activation key: the e-mail address of the registered user
and the key itself. A key is very long and will look something like the following:
sleepdoctor@sleeplab.com
000016-BEMQ97-ZKNNYC-Z19ZG9-G11W7U-0TWCZT-U8W8C4-Z0WRG4-
ZBJXKT-NC20CA
When you receive your activation key, cut and paste the Registered User’s e-mail
and key as shown and press Enter Key.
Registration entitles the registered user access to technical support. When
contacting technical support, you may be required to provide your registration
information.
Enter the Activation Key

1-14 Introduction and Setup
ActiReader Setup
Connecting ActiReader
ActiReader or an Actiwatch Reader is necessary to communicate with an
Actiwatch. Connection to a desktop computer or a laptop computer is very
similar to any other peripheral device. Upon starting Actiware, you will be
prompted to set up the COMporttorecognizetheActiReader.
Computer with ActiReader
Note: If you have an earlier design of Actiwatch Reader, refer to
Actiwatch Reader later in this manual.
Note: Follow the recommendations supplied with your computer when
connecting peripheral devices. Most manufacturers suggest powering
down the computer while connecting hardware.
1-15
ActiReader
1. Connect the serial communication cable (supplied) to a COM port on your
computer. Actiware’s Select COMPortWizardwillassistindeterminingand
setting up the appropriate COM port. The COM port can be changed at
anytime.
2. Connect the other end of the communication cable to ActiReader.
ActiReader power must be ON and the red LED Power light should be
blinking. If the Power light is not blinking, the battery must be replaced (See
Replacing the ActiReader Battery later in this manual) or the external power
supply must be used.
• External Power Source
ActiReader can be powered from an external power source (supplied).
When plugged in, it will disconnect the battery to conserve it.
• Power ON/OFF switch
This switch will disconnect ActiReader from its power source, whether
AC or battery.
• POWER (Red LED)
Whether using external power or the internal battery, the red LED will
light when the Power switch is ON.

Selecting the COM Port
1. Open the Actiware software program.
2. From the menu toolbar, select Communications > Select COM Port.
This will start the COMPortWizardwhichwillassistyouinsearchingforan

• ALIGNED (Green LED)
 WhentheActiwatchisalignedproperlyandthecommunicationwizardis
active, this green LED will light.
• Communication Pad
This slot ensures Actiwatch is placed properly. On the back of the
Actiwatch is a green dot in one corner. When the dot is aligned with the
green dot on ActiReader, the green LED on the ActiReader will light. This
indicates that communication between the two devices is possible.
• Serial Port
This is where the serial cable connects to ActiReader. The other end
connects to the COM port on the computer.
Note: The “back” of the Actiwatch is metal. The “front” or “face” of the
device is plastic.
Note: The ‘ALIGNED’ green LED will not light until appropriate portions
of the Communications Wizard are in use when the COM port is on (see
page 3-1, later in this manual).

1-20 Introduction and Setup
Actiwatch Reader
Actiwatch Reader and ActiReader are very similar in their operation. Installation
and setup are the same.
However, please keep the following in mind when using the Actiwatch Reader:
• The Actiwatch Reader is white. The ActiReader is black.
• Instead of a slot for aligning the Actiwatch, place the Actiwatch over the
image and slide it up and down until the Ready LED is lit.
• The small dot on Actiwatch must be in the same corner as the small dot
on the reader.
• Researchers with laptop computers may switch the Actiwatch Reader to
Battery Power for proper function.
• If using battery power, you may need to replace the reader battery
periodically (see Replacing ActiReader Battery later in this section).
• As with the ActiReader, the COM port selection in the software must be
 correct,andthecommunicationswizardmustberunning,fortheReady
LED to be lit.

information prior to changing the battery. Failure to follow procedures
may result in immediate or subsequent damage to the device.
Battery Replacement
1. Disconnect the AC electrical supply and set the Power toggle switch to OFF.
2. Turn the ActiReader over so the battery cover is facing up.
3. Slide the battery cover in the direction of the arrow.
4. Carefully remove the battery from the housing unit and gently disconnect
the battery terminals.
5. Replace the battery.
6. Slide the battery cover back into place on the ActiReader.
7. Set the Power toggle switch to the ON position.
8. Verify the red LED Power light is blinking.
WARNING! Do not dispose of lithium batteries in re or ame. An
explosion may result. Only dispose in accordance with manufacturer’s
recommendation or local codes.
