GUIDE
ABOUT OMEGAWAVE
Thank you for purchasing the Omegawave system!
The Omegawave assessment and guidance system is the only
solution available today that quickly provides a holistic view
of your body’s functional state. Empowered by physiological
feedback, you can optimize both your training and recovery.
Omegawave system allows you to:
• Optimize training
• Manage recovery
• Prevent injuries and avoid overtraining
• Track progress
Our clinical grade ECG device takes a two minute recording of
the electrical activity of your heart and sends it to our cloud
server for physiological analysis. The results are then sent to
your Omegawave mobile application.
We help you understand your readiness to train, and the level
of recovery from different elements of stress. We then provide
you with guidelines for appropriate training for the day. After
multiple measurements, you will see how your aerobic condi-
tion is responding to your training. All this was previously only
available to pro athletes.
The measurement data gives you the confidence to train hard
when you are ready, and rest when necessary to reach your
goals faster.

1. Your ECG sensor matches your device. Check the model number

MEASUREMENT GUIDELINES
1. Put the sensor belt on, lay down and relax
2. Start the measurement
3. Check the results after 2 minutes
When to measure?
• Try to conduct measurements at the same time each day to
get the most accurate results. We suggest that you conduct
the measurement right before the training session or in the
morning, 30-60 minutes after waking up.
Recommendations for maintaining the accuracy of measure-
ment results:
• Breathe normally, without holding your breath or breathing
too deep.
• Try to find a quiet place for measurements. Avoid disturbances
such as talking or TV.
• Lay down and relax. Rest your hands on your lap or at your
sides and wait for approximately two minutes to let your heart
rate stabilize before starting the measurement.
• If you sneeze or cough during the measurement, please repeat
the measurement process.
• Avoid consuming caffeinated drinks at least 30 minutes before
the measurement.
• Avoid conducting the measurement too soon after waking up.
Your body needs 30-60 minutes to properly awaken.
COMMON ISSUES
1. My Omegawave application cannot be activated
• Check that your phone has an internet connection.
• Ensure that you are using the correct activation details:
• Your username and activation code are located in the
confirmation email received upon your registration.
2. My phone does not connect to the ECG sensor
• Make sure that your device’s operating system is up to date.
• Make sure that the ECG sensor is charged.
• Connect the charger to your computer and place the ECG sensor
on the charger to reset it. Make sure that the sensor’s metal
contacts are aligned with the charger’s pins.
• If you are using same ECG sensor with multiple devices (e.g.
with your iPhone and iPad), please make sure that Bluetooth
is switched off on the second device when conducting the
measurement. This will prevent the sensor from connecting to
the wrong device.
• If problems persist, please do the following:
• Go to your device’s Bluetooth settings and turn Bluetooth
off.
• Rinse the belt’s electrodes with water, put on the belt and
attach the Omegawave ECG sensor.
• Turn Bluetooth back on.
• Check that the ECG sensor is connected to your phone on
the Bluetooth device list. The sensor device name is OC-
ECG1 for Android phones and OC-ECG1A for iPhones.
3. My Omegawave application displays a white screen
• Please check that your device has an active internet connection
via mobile data or WLAN.

4. I get different results on consecutive measurements
There is a specific time window that allows for the most accu-
rate reflection of your heart rate variability (HRV). For accurate
and consistent results please make sure you let your body
enter a calm state by lying still for about two minutes prior to a
measurement. To do a repeated measurement, please stand up
for a minute to get your heart into its normal state before lying
back down and repeating the process.
TAKING CARE OF THE ECG SENSOR
• The sensor needs to be charged once a week when used
actively.
• Do not use electrode gel for wetting the belt’s electrode pads.
• Do not use the sensor nor the belt underwater.
• Do not put the sensor into a washing machine or a dryer.
• If you use perfume, deodorant or insect repellent, make sure it
does not come into contact with the belt’s electrode pads.
• Do not leave the sensor or belt exposed to a heat source or
direct sunlight.
