Using your Apollo Neuro device involves a simple setup, consistent wear, and intuitive control through its companion app to help you achieve a state of calm and focus. This innovative wearable works by delivering gentle, inaudible vibrations that signal safety to your nervous system, helping to rebalance your body and mind.
Getting Started: Attaching the Clip and Setting Up
Before you begin experiencing the benefits of Apollo Neuro, you'll need to properly attach its clip, which enables versatile wearing options.
- Prepare Your Device: If your Apollo Neuro already has a band attached, gently remove it. This will expose the slot for the clip.
- Attach the Clip: Take the Apollo Neuro clip and slide it underneath the metal faceplate of the device. Ensure that the small triangle symbol on the back of the clip is facing towards the device itself.
- Secure the Clip: Continue to slide the clip until you hear a distinct "click." This sound confirms that the clip is securely fastened to your Apollo Neuro, ready for attachment to a band or clothing.
- Charge Your Device: For optimal performance, ensure your Apollo Neuro is fully charged before its first use. Use the provided charging cable.
Wearing Your Apollo Neuro
For the most effective results, your Apollo Neuro device should be worn with the back of the device in direct contact with your body. This ensures the therapeutic vibrations are properly transmitted to your nervous system.
Here are the most common and effective wearing locations:
- Wrist: The most popular choice, similar to a watch. Wear it on either wrist, with the device face up or down, ensuring skin contact.
- Ankle: Also effective, especially for sleep modes. Wear it around your ankle with the device touching your skin.
- Clothing: You can clip it onto your bra strap, waistband, or shirt collar, ensuring the back of the device is pressed against your skin underneath the clothing. This is a discreet option.
Tip: Experiment with different locations to find what feels most comfortable and effective for you. Consistency is key!
Navigating the Apollo Neuro App
The Apollo Neuro app (available on iOS and Android) is your command center for personalizing your experience.
- Download and Pair: Download the app and follow the on-screen instructions to pair your Apollo Neuro device via Bluetooth.
- Explore Modes: The app features a variety of "modes," each designed to support different states of being.
