(Part 2 of 3) 5015 B.U. Bowman Drive Buford, GA 30518 USA Voice: 770-831-8048 Fax: 770-831-8598 SECTION 2 GETTING STARTED WARNING! Actiware / Actiware-CT is for use only in a clinical, research, or home care provider setting. The workspace of the Actiware program is similar to many software applications. Dockable windows give the user direct access to the Actiwatch or subject data stored in the selected database. They also provide control over analysis viewing and exports. The Database Viewer and the Properties Viewer are docked at the left side of the main Actiware window by default. The Actogram View toolbar is shown on the right side of the main Actiware window. Actiware databases are organized in a hierarchical fashion. The top level is the subject level. The second level is the Actiwatch data for that subject. The third level is for saved analyses of the Actiwatch data. You can navigate through this hierarchy by clicking on the + (plus sign) or (minus sign) buttons to the left of the subject or Actiwatch data icons. Subjects are sorted by subject ID. Actiwatch Data entries are sorted by data collection start time. Analyses are sorted by saved name. 2-1 Main Window Actiware workspace, full-window The main Actiware window can be broken into three main sections:
Toolbars Database Viewer Properties viewer Toolbars The Menu Bar is similar to most software applications. Keyboard shortcuts, actuated by pressing the ALT key plus the hotkey letter, (identified by an underscore) can be used to navigate through the toolbar menus. 2-2 Getting Started The Standard toolbar, just below the Menu Bar, includes shortcuts to associated functions within the Actiware software program. Hover your mouse over the icon for a short text description. Standard Toolbar Icons Create A New Subject Edit Subject, Data, or Analysis Configure My Actiwatch Show Audit Trail Retrieve Data from My Actiwatch Open the Database Viewer Import an .awd File Open the Properties Viewer The following four icons determine how the data are shown in the Analysis window. Display Data as an Actogram Display the Data List Display Statistics within an Interval Display Data as a Graph Print an Actiware Report Create a New Analysis File Export a Data File Open an Analysis File Copy Export Text to the Clipboard Save an Analysis File The Graph toolbar provides access to functions that are available only when viewing a graph. Print a Graph Copy Graph to the Clipboard Edit the Graph Display Properties 2-3 The Actogram View toolbar is used for adjusting the viewing properties of an Actogram, and is available only when an Actogram is present. Changes made to this toolbar are immediately visible in the currently selected Actogram. Actogram View Toolbar Days Displayed: controls how many days are displayed in the visible part of the Actogram window. Use the scroll bar on the right of the Actogram to see the remaining days. Pull down or type directly into this control to set the number of days. Visibility: these buttons hide and show the data items in the Actogram:
2-4 Getting Started Activity Scale: adjusts the maximum value of activity counts displayed on the Actogram. Pull down or type directly into this control to set the activity scale. Illuminance Scale: adjusts the maximum illuminance value displayed on the Actogram. Pull down or type directly into this control to set the scale. Light/Dark Bar: use these controls to show or hide the bar at the top of the Actogram, to set the light on/light off time, or to set the light to all on (24 hours of light) or all off (24 hours of dark). Interval Legend: provides a convenient reminder of the color scheme used for displayed intervals. Click the keyboard controls link to display quick reminders on how to set intervals. See Setting Intervals later in this section. To save your current Actogram View settings as default settings, click View >
Save Current Actogram View as My Default View. Or, to restore your default view settings, click View > Restore My Default Actogram View. Database Viewer The Database Viewer is used to provide a hierarchical tree view of the data in your currently selected database. Below is an example view from the Demonstration Database that is provided with Actiware. Database Viewer 2-5 Subjects, Actiwatch data, and Analyses are shown as indicated below:
Level 1st Level
(Subject) 2nd Level
(Actiwatch Data) 3rd Level
(Analysis) Content Subject Identity
(Sorted Alphabetically or Numerically) Local Start Time
(Sorted by Date) Analysis Name
(Sorted Alphabetically) Commonly used functions can be accessed by right-clicking on an item in the Database Viewer and using the popup menu. Actiware automatically loads the last used database or when run for the first time, the Demonstration Database. To create a new database, click File > Database >
New and use the Windows file selection to select a filename and location. Other database functions (such as Open, Save As, Backup, and Export) can be accessed from the File > Database menu. The Database Viewer can be undocked or docked by clicking and dragging the window title bar. In addition, it can be resized or closed. To show again, use the View > Database Viewer menu. 2-6 Getting Started Properties Viewer The Properties Viewer displays information for the database item that is currently selected in the Database Viewer; hence the Database Viewer and Properties Viewer are linked. Click the + or next to the Subject, Actiwatch Data, or Analysis to expand or collapse the properties related to that database item. Left-click on an item to see a description of the property in the notes area at the bottom of the window. For instance, the properties related to the Rest & Excluded Intervals analysis are desplayed. Note that the Subject and Actiwatch data properties are also displayed. Properties Viewer window Items in the Properties Viewer can be edited by double-clicking the item. The Properties Viewer can be undocked or docked by clicking and dragging the window title bar. In addition, it can be resized or closed. To show again, use the View > Properties Viewer menu. 2-7 Actogram An Actogram is a graphic view of the rest/activity history of a subject. Data are displayed in stackable 24-hour periods which allow the user to immediately determine sleep/wake patterns. The Actogram provides the ability to select periods of time, known as intervals, and to provide statistics for these times of interest. (See Setting Intervals later in this section.) There are multiple ways to open an Actogram. The most direct way is:
1. In the Database Viewer, click the + sign next to a Subject to expand. 2. Click the + sign next to the Actiwatch Data record to expand. 3. Double-click on New Analysis. An Actogram will be displayed. This process can be repeated for any analysis (such as Custom Intervals) shown in the Database Viewer. 2-8 Getting Started You can also open an Actogram by clicking the View > Actogram menu, or by clicking the icon on the Standard toolbar at the top of the window. Use the Actogram View toolbar (displayed on the right side of the window) to adjust the view settings for the Actogram. Note: The sleep/wake scoring algorithm is applied automatically to the activity in the entire data set. Epochs scored as wake are indicated by a red mark below the X axis, whereas epochs scored as sleep have no mark below the X axis. 2-9 Setting Intervals Adding an Interval Selection to an Actogram An interval is a user-defined selection of time that allows you to graphically select and analyze data for statistical calculations. For calculation of statistics for specific periods of time, it is necessary to select intervals and assign an interval type to them. The Interval feature in Actiware provides a robust data selection, exclusion and quantitative tool. The interval types that are available:
Rest user defined Sleep automatically determined from Rest intervals Active automatically determined from Rest intervals Excluded user defined Forced Wake Score user defined Forced Sleep Score user defined Rest intervals These are intervals of data that contain periods of time when the subject activity is low and the subject is likely to be at rest. They must be set by the user and are indicated on the Actogram by light blue shading. Typically this will be used for the In Bed Period. By setting a Rest Interval you are directing the program to apply the Sleep Interval Detection algorithm for generating Sleep Periods. This algorithm will use the first data point in the rest interval as the Bed Time and the last data point as the Get up Time. From these points, the Sleep Onset and Sleep End will be set using the Analysis parameter values that are indicated on the Analysis tab of the Tools > Options window. Once you have set a Rest Interval, a Sleep Interval will automatically be created within it. 2-10 Getting Started Sleep Intervals Data in these intervals represent periods of time in which the subject is likely to be asleep. These intervals are created automatically by the program once a Rest Interval has been set. They represent the period of time between Sleep Onset and Sleep End but are not indicated by any shading. Active Intervals Data in these intervals represent periods of time in which subject activity indicates that they are alert and engaged in physical activity. These intervals contain all those data that are outside of Rest Intervals. Active Intervals are created automatically when Rest Intervals are set. No shading is used to indicate these intervals. Excluded Intervals Data in these intervals are excluded from all analytical calculations. These intervals are designed for use when subjects remove the Actiwatch or for other invalid periods of data. These must be set by the user and are indicated by dark blue shading. Custom Intervals These are intervals of data that are of some interest for any reason. Typically these are used for illuminance calculations when using an Actiwatch-L or numerical rating scale values when using the Actiwatch Score. They may also be used for assessing activity during specific periods of the day. They are indicated on the Actogram by a blue bar above the activity data, and must be set by the user. Forced Wake These intervals are periods of time for which the Sleep/Wake score has been forced by the user to Wake. This is typically used if the subject is known to be awake, but very inactive, or as an alternative to excluding data. Epochs included in this type of interval are indicated by a magenta mark below the X axis of the Actogram. Forced Sleep These intervals are periods of time for which the Sleep/Wake score has been forced by the user to Sleep. This typically is used if the subject is known to be sleeping but there is significant movement. Epochs included in this type of interval are indicated by a gray mark below the X axis of the Actogram. Note: Custom, Excluded, Forced Wake and Forced Sleep intervals can be overlapped. However, due to the automatic creation of Sleep intervals, Rest intervals cannot be overlapped. If you attempt to overlap Rest intervals, they will be combined into one interval. 2-11 There are three ways to set intervals. The quick method uses the mouse and hotkey combinations:
Quick Method 1. Hold down the CTRL key on the keyboard. 2. Click the left mouse button where you want the start of the interval to be. Interval Start Time 3. While still holding down the CTRL key, click the right mouse button where you want the end of the interval. Interval End Time If you set an interval flag in the wrong location and want to move it, repeat the above process. Also, by holding down the CTRL key and the mouse button, you can drag the flag to the precise location you want. 4. Using one of the following hotkey combinations, set the type of interval you want:
CTRL + R CTRL + C CTRL + E CTRL + W CTRL + S Insert REST interval Insert CUSTOM interval Insert EXCLUDED interval Insert Forced WAKE interval Insert Forced SLEEP interval The new interval will be automatically drawn in the Actogram display. See the legend on the right side of the window (on the Actogram View toolbar) to see how the intervals are indicated on the Actogram. Note: During the interval creation process you can press the keyboard Escape key to clear the markers. 2-12 Getting Started Fine Control Method To set your intervals graphically to the nearest epoch, use the following procedure:
1. Click the left mouse button on the Actogram to place the epoch label. 2. Use the keyboard arrow keys (, , , ) to move the epoch label to the desired interval start time. Close-up of Interval Markers on Actogram 3. To place the interval start marker, press one of the following keys based on the interval type you want to create:
R C E W S Set REST interval start Set CUSTOM interval start Set EXCLUDED interval start Set Forced WAKE interval start Set Forced SLEEP interval start 4. Once again, click the left mouse button on the Actogram to place the epoch label, and use the arrow keys to place the epoch label at the desired interval end time. 5. To place the interval end marker, press one of the following hotkey combinations based on the interval type youre creating:
SHIFT + R SHIFT + C SHIFT + E SHIFT + W SHIFT + S Set REST interval end Set CUSTOM interval end Set EXCLUDED interval end Set Forced WAKE interval end Set Forced SLEEP interval end If you set an interval flag in the wrong location and want to move it, repeat the above process. 2-13 6. As with the Quick Method above, use one of the following hotkey combinations to set the type of interval you want:
CTRL + R CTRL + C CTRL + E CTRL + W CTRL + S Insert REST interval Insert CUSTOM interval Insert EXCLUDED interval Insert Forced WAKE interval Insert Forced SLEEP interval Note: During the interval creation process you can press the keyboard Escape key to clear the markers. Menu and Sleep Diary Methods If you prefer to type in the date and time values for the interval start and end times, such as if you have a patient sleep diary, use the following procedure:
1. Click Interval > Add Interval. This will launch the Add Interval window. 2. Select the Interval Type Rest Excluded Custom Forced Sleep Forced Wake 3. Set the Interval Start Time (date and time). You can type in the date or use the interactive calendar to select the date. You can type in the time or use the arrows to scroll to the appropriate time 4. Set the Interval End Time (date and time). Note: If you want to create this interval for all days, check the Repeat for all days check box. This will create an interval every 24 hours starting with the interval start time, with the duration equal to the configured interval. 2-14 Getting Started 5. Click the Add Interval(s) button to add the interval, or Close to cancel. You can repeat steps 2 through 5 for each interval without closing the Add Interval window. Note: You can also click the right mouse button in the Actogram, or use other sub-menus under the Interval main menu to set interval markers or insert intervals. Interval Quick Start Help The Interval Quick Start Help message provides an overview of the interval functions. To display this message, click the keyboard controls link on the bottom of the Actogram View toolbar, or click Help > Quick Start > Interval Selection. Interval Quick Start pop-up message. To access, Help > Quick Start > Interval Selection 2-15 Removing Intervals To remove a single interval simply click the left mouse button in the interval you want to delete, then press the Delete key. To remove all intervals, right click on the Actogram and select Clear All Intervals (also accessible from the Interval menu) To remove all intervals of a specific interval type, use the Interval menu, or the corresponding keyboard shortcuts (such as CTRL + ALT + C to clear all custom intervals). 2-16 Getting Started Viewing Statistics The Statistics Table is one of two main ways to display the calculated sleep/wake output. Interval, activity, mobility, sleep, illuminance, and score statistics are automatically calculated for intervals that are set by the user. 1. View > Statistics Table Click on the tabs at the top of the window to view calculated statistics for different types of intervals. Use the scrolling tools to move through the list of intervals or to view different columns of statistics. Statistics Table Controlling the Content of the Statistics Table 1. Tools > Options This will launch the Options pop-up window. 2-17 2. Statistics Select the Statistics tab (mouse-click) to view the available statistic properties. Check those statistics that you want to include. Actiware includes Select All, Deselect All, and Restore Defaults buttons for ease of use. 3. Click OK to save your selections or Cancel to unaccept. Your selections will appear in the Statistics Table and be included in exported and printed data. Tools > Options > Statistics See Advanced Usage in Section 4 for statistic definitions. Note: The selections that you make here will impact the content of exported files and printed reports. 2-18 Getting Started Exporting Data Once you have added intervals and analyzed your data, you can export the retrieved raw data or statistical results to a text file that can be easily loaded into Microsoft Excel, FAST, or a database program of your choice. There are three types of export files that can be created using Actiware:
Standard Individual Export File This is a comma delimited ASCII text file (.csv) that can be opened directly by Microsoft Excel. It contains the data and analysis results for one analysis. To create this file, click File > Export menu or click the Standard toolbar. You will be prompted for a file name using the standard Windows dialog box. button on the Note: The contents of the export file can be customized using the Tools >
Options window. Use the Statistics, Data List and Export tabs to select what content you would like in the export file. Instead of creating a file, you can copy the file contents directly to the Windows clipboard by clicking Copy > Export Text. Then paste into your program of choice using the Clipboard paste function (commonly CTRL + V keyboard hotkey). FAST Export File1 This is a tab delimited ASCII text file (.txt) designed specifically for importing into the Fatigue Avoidance Scheduling Tool Software. A short header, sleep/
wake scores, and per epoch time stamps for the currently selected analysis are included in this export file. To create this file, click File > FAST Export. You will be prompted for a file name using the standard Windows dialog box. 1 FAST is a trademark of NTI, Inc. 2-19 Combined Export File This is a comma delimited ASCII text file (.csv) that can be opened directly by Microsoft Excel. It contains the data and analysis results for intervals from multiple analyses. These analyses can be from any number of subjects or Actiwatch data records in the currently opened database. Use the Text File Export Batch Wizard, accessible from the Tools > Text File Export Batch menu to create this file (or many Standard Individual Export Files). See Batch Export in Advanced Usage, Section 4, for details. Note: Actiware-CT does not allow Copy > Export Text or File > FAST Export because these are unsecured outputs that do not contain an electronic or digital signature. 2-20 Getting Started Print Report You can generate a printed report of your Actogram and statistical results for the currently selected analysis. To generate the report, click File > Print Report, or click the button on the Standard toolbar. You will be presented with a Windows printer dialog where you can select the printer, number of copies, and paper orientation (such as Portrait or Landscape). Note: The contents of the printed report can be customized using the Tools
> Options window. Use the Statistics and Print Report tabs to select what content you would like for the printed report. 2-21 New Subject Once a database exists it can be populated with subjects and subject collected data. To add or edit a subject, first open the database. Select File > Database >
Open, as described on the previous page. To add a new subject to a database, do the following:
1. Click File > New Subject. This will open a New Subject window to allow for the capture of demographic data. 2. Fill in the three required fields: Identity, Date of Birth and Gender For Identity, we suggest using a blind descriptor or nickname of the subject. Notice that Age is automatically computed. Important! Because you can import subjects from other databases, Actiware allows more than one subject with the same ID. Therefore, you need to be sure you choose a subject ID that does not already exist in the currently open database. 3. If you desire, fill in the remaining fields. For HIPAA considerations, these fields are optional. When USA or Canada is entered into the Country field, a dropdown list for the State/Province area will become available. Additionally, the Phone field will be optimized for the (###) ###-#### format. To enter a non-US or non-Canadian state code or phone number, enter the Country first. 2-22 Getting Started Deleting/Hiding Subjects For purposes of data tracking, you cannot delete subjects from a database. You can hide them by checking the Hide Subject box. Once hidden, a subject will not appear in the Database Viewer. Hidden subjects may be revealed by right clicking in the Database Viewer and selecting View Hidden Subjects. 2-23 2-24 Getting Started SECTION 3 COMMUNICATIONS The Actiware software is used to configure the Actiwatch device and retrieve data from the Actiwatch through the use of the ActiReader.

Please feel free to contact us with any questions or comments on this software. 4-1 Program Options Customize the Actiware software and data properties through the program options window. Select Tools > Options from the main menu bar to access the option tabs. Tools > Options Note: After you have finished making all of your changes in the options window, click OK to accept or Cancel to not accept. General Tab (Tools > Options > General) Select the COM port from the dropdown menu. To reset all Help Window reminders, check the Reset Reminder Notes button. Tools > Options > General 4-2 Advanced Usage Analysis Tab (Tools > Options > Analysis) An analysis includes parameter settings and interval settings as inputs. Use the Analysis tab for setting parameter values (see Section 2 for how to set intervals). Definitions of each analysis parameter are given on the next few pages. You can also see the definitions of each parameter on screen when running the Actiware software by holding your mouse cursor over the parameter names on the left side of the Analysis tab. Active Analysis refers to the currently selected analysis, so the analysis parameter settings shown in the Active Analysis frame are those of the currently selected analysis. New Analysis refers to a newly created analysis, so the analysis parameter settings shown in the New Analysis frame are default values. These default values are unique to each Windows logon username and are used each time a New Analysis window is opened. Click the << button to set Active Analysis parameter settings equal to New Analysis parameter settings. Click the >> button to set New Analysis parameter settings equal to those of the Active Analysis. Click the Restore Defaults button to reset to the factory released parameter settings. Tools > Options > Analysis 4-3 Analysis Parameter Definitions Wake Threshold Selection Selected level or method of setting the Wake Threshold. If Automatic is selected, the Wake Threshold will be computed automatically based on activity data. Wake Threshold Value The number of activity counts used to define wake. Detail: Level of activity that is compared to a value (x) generated by the Actiware sleep algorithm for each epoch. If
(x) is above the Wake Threshold, then the epoch is scored as wake. The higher the Wake Threshold, the fewer the number of epochs scored as wake (See Appendix A for further information). Sleep Interval Detection Algorithm This determines the basis for calculating sleep onset and sleep end. The first option uses the number of minutes scored as immobile. By selecting this option, the parameter settings for epochs for sleep onset and sleep end can be edited. The second option uses a number of epochs scored as sleep. By selecting this option, the parameter settings for immobile minutes for sleep onset and epochs for sleep end can be edited. Note: This is a means of automatically setting sleep onset and sleep end intervals, not rest intervals. Immobile Minutes for Sleep Onset After the start of each rest interval, the start of each sleep interval will be automatically set to the first epoch of the first section of consecutive epochs THIS many minutes long with all but one epoch in the section scored as immobile. Note: This parameter is only applied if the Immobile Minutes option is selected as the sleep interval detection algorithm. Immobile Minutes for Sleep End Prior to the end of each rest interval, the end of each sleep interval will be automatically set to the last epoch of the last section of consecutive epochs THIS many minutes long with all but one epoch in the section scored as immobile. Note: This parameter is only applied if the Immobile Minutes option is selected as the sleep interval detection algorithm. Epochs for Sleep Onset After the start of each rest interval, the start of each sleep interval will be automatically set to the first epoch of the first section of consecutive epochs scored as sleep THIS many epochs long. Note: This parameter is only applied if the Sleep Epochs option is selected as the sleep interval detection algorithm. Epochs for Sleep End Prior to the end of each rest interval, the end of each sleep interval will be automatically set to the last epoch of the last section of consecutive epochs scored as sleep THIS many epochs long. Note: This parameter is only applied if the Sleep Epochs option is selected as the sleep interval detection algorithm. Actogram Start Hour The hour at which Actogram rows and daily intervals begin. This setting affects daily interval statistics. Illuminance Threshold Level of illuminance, in lux, that is compared to the intensity of illumination the Actiwatch-L is exposed to, for the purpose of calculating the Time Above Illuminance Threshold statistic for given time intervals (Actiwatch-L only). 4-4 Advanced Usage Actogram Tab (Tools > Options > Actogram) These are the default Actogram viewing properties.

Manage subject (patient) information Configure Actiwatch devices for data collection Retrieve clinical data from Actiwatch devices View clinical data Analyze data for sleep parameters and rhythmicity Export raw data or statistics for external analysis or archive Actiware-CT is also capable of clinical trial tracking and auditing in accordance with 21 CFR Part 11. This manual describes the functions of the Actiwatch and outlines the data analysis and file management features available in the Actiware and Actiware-
CT software applications. Both applications are part of the Actiwatch activity monitoring system. You can view and analyze the rhythmicity of long-term activity-rest patterns. 1-1 Indications for Use Intended Use Actiware / Actiware-CT is for use only in a clinical, research, or home care provider setting. Actiwatch-16/64 The Actiwatch-16 or -64 is an ultra-compact, lightweight, wrist-worn activity monitor that can be used to analyze circadian rhythms, automatically collect and score data for sleep parameters, and assess activity in any instance where quantifiable analysis of physical motion is desirable. An Event Marker button is available that allows the subject (patient) to enter time-stamped information and events of significance. Actiwatch-L The Actiwatch-L is an ultra-compact, lightweight, wrist-worn activity and illuminance monitor that can be used to analyze circadian rhythms, automatically collect and score data for sleep parameters, and assess activity in any instance where quantifiable analysis of physical motion is desirable. The Actiwatch-L does not have an Event Marker button. Actiwatch-Score The Actiwatch-Score is a compact, lightweight, wrist-worn activity monitor that can be used to analyze circadian rhythms, automatically collect and analyze data for sleep parameters, and assess activity in any instance where quantifiable analysis of physical motion is desirable. In addition, the Actiwatch-Score has a built-in score pad that allows the subject to subjectively assign and enter a score from 0 to 15. The score pad can be used as a substitute or in addition to the traditional patient diary used in conjunction with activity monitoring. This system is designed to conform to the following standards:

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. Note: Follow the recommendations supplied with your computer when connecting peripheral devices. Most manufacturers suggest powering down the computer while connecting hardware. Computer with ActiReader Note: If you have an earlier design of Actiwatch Reader, refer to Actiwatch Reader later in this manual. 1-14 Introduction and Setup ActiReader 1. Connect the serial communication cable (supplied) to a COM port on your computer. Actiwares 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. ActiReader Features Aligned or Ready
(Green LED) External power input Power indicator
(Red LED) Communication Pad RS-232 port Power ON/OFF 1-15 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). 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 available serial communication port on the computer (See illustration on next page). Start the COM Port Wizard 1-16 Introduction and Setup COM Port Wizard Welcome window 3. Click the Next button and the Wizard will search for available COM ports When the search is completed, use your mouse to highlight the COM port to which you connected the ActiReader. 1-17 Select the COM port from the list provided by the Automatic Search Results 4. Click Next to proceed to the Communications Port Test. Note: The ActiReader must be functioning correctly and be connected to the computer to complete the COM port selection. The Actiwatch must be metal side up (Serial Number up) to successfully communicate with the ActiReader. 5. Verify that ActiReader is connected correctly using the 3-point checklist. If correct, select the Next button. You can also use the Skip Test button, but the connection between the computer and ActiReader will not be tested. If using a white Actiwatch Reader, click the appropriate button in the wizard or see Actiwatch Reader later in this section. 1-18 Introduction and Setup 3-point check list and Actiwatch Reader differences are embedded in the COM Port Wizard If the Communications Test fails, a help window will appear to assist with troubleshooting potential causes. Review each possible explanation. When ActiReader is successfully connected to the computer, the Finished!
window will appear. 6. Select Finish to exit the wizard. Upon completing the COM Port Wizard, you can configure an Actiwatch for subject use or retrieve collected data (see Communications in Section 3 of this manual). 1-19 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.

Bowman Drive Buford, GA 30518 USA Voice: 770-831-8048 Fax: 770-831-8598 SECTION 5ClINICAl TRIAlS Actiware-CT (clinical trial) software is designed especially for customers who are concerned about data security and compliance with 21 CFR Part 11. New features have been included in the software that Restrict access to only authorized users. Embed electronic signatures in data files. Secure data files with digital signatures. Detect and report unauthorized access. Record all changes to subject and data properties, as well as analysis settings and results. Provide an audit trail window to view versions and electronic signatures. Actiware-CT operates in the same manner as Actiware. Section 5 outlines the security features in CT. Please refer to Getting Started in Section 2 for information on using the software. Note: Actiware-CT requires you to authenticate using your Windows or Network username and password. Please contact your local administrator with any issues or questions. Note: Actiware-CT requires the Windows 2000 Professional or the Windows XP Professional operating system. 5-1 Authenticate When you launch the Actiware-CT program, the Security Log on window will appear. To access the program, you must log on with your User Name and Password that you would normally use to access the Windows operating system. Security Log on window When you are adding a new subject, attempting to save a file, or making any changes to a subject, Actiwatch data, or analysis, Actiware-CT will prompt you for your user name and password. 1. Enter User Name and Password. 2. Review the signature meaning. 3. Add any comments. 4. Click the Sign and Save button. Sign and Save window 5. The file now carries your electronic signature and an Audit Trail is attached to the data file. The meaning of the signature is also recorded in the data file. 5-2 Clinical Trials Audit Trail The Audit Trail feature of Actiware 5.0 is designed to display all changes made to subjects, Actiwatch data items and analyses. Because the relationship between these items is hierarchical, the Audit Trail window will display all the parents of any selected item. If an analysis is selected for Audit Trail display, then the Audit Trail will show all changes for that analysis, its parent Actiwatch data item and the subject that owns both of them. If an Actiwatch data item is chosen for Audit Trail display, then that Actiwatch data item and its parent subject will be displayed in the Audit Trail window. The picture below is the product of right-clicking on a saved analysis and selecting the Audit Trail menu item. Each row in the left side of the window represents either a record creation or a change to a record. In the screen shot below, there are five audit trail records: a subject creation and an edit to that subject, an Actiwatch data record creation and both an analysis creation and an edit to the same analysis. Note that the row that is highlighted is for a subject creation and no value is listed in the right hand display for Prior Value as there is no prior record. Results of right-clicking on a saved analysis and selecting the Audit Trail menu item. 5-3 When a highlighted row represents an edit, such as the second line below, then the Prior Value column will contain the values before the edit. Highlight the row to see prior and new values. Note that in the two previous pictures the buttons at the bottom of the screen were not enabled. The most powerful feature of the Audit Trail window is the ability to display all previous revisions of records. When an Actiwatch data item is highlighted, the Show Graph button will be enabled. If you highlight an analysis row, then all the buttons will be enabled and you can create an audit version of an Actogram, statistics table or a data list. Audit Trail window provides the ability to view all previous revisions of the record. 5-4 Clinical Trials If the analysis has been edited and saved, then multiple rows will be displayed, such as the picture above. Highlighting the last row will reflect the most recent version of the analysis. Pressing the Show Actogram button will display the current Actogram in the normal display window except the title will be preceded with the word Audit as shown below. Audit Actogram window Note: Closing the Audit Trail window will close all Actograms, data lists and statistics tables that were created by the Audit Trail window. To view historical audit items, keep the Audit Trail window open and either move it out of the way or minimize it. To view a past revision of the analysis, highlight the desired row and click the Show Actogram button etc. Only one audit Actogram can exist. If an audit Actogram is open and a new audit Actogram is created, the open Actogram will be closed and the new one will replace it. The same holds true for statistics tables and data lists. Items created from the Audit Trail window cannot be edited. 5-5 Introduction to Electronic Signatures To use Actiware-CT you will be required to log on. The log on procedure is part of the security Actiware-CT offers to protect the data that is acquired from Actiwatch. Each time a record is created or revised, the user must sign with their username and password and an electronic signature is created and attached to the record. The electronic signature in Actiware-CT is considered to be the equivalent of a handwritten signature executed on paper. When the signature process has been completed, the resulting secure record consists of three parts:
Data Public Key Digital Signature Upon signing and saving the data record, a secret, private key is used to encrypt a special set of characters that represent the data. This is called a hash, or digest of the data. The result of this encryption process is the digital signature. The data in the record is saved along with the digital signature and a public key. The public key is used to decrypt the digital signature when the record is read. When the record is read and the signature verified, the result of decrypting the digital signature (the original hash) is compared to a hash computed from the contents read from the record. When the two hash results are found to be identical, this means the signature is verified, and the file has not been altered or corrupted
(including the signature elements that identify the signer: user name and full name, as well as the public key and digital signature). Actiware-CT Provision Authentication Integrity Non-repudiation Result The identity of the signer can be determined by anyone. Any alteration can be detected. Verifies the origin or delivery of data. Protects the signer because the recipient cannot change the file. Protects the recipient because the signer cannot deny they sent it. Because integrity is assured and authentication and non-repudiation are provided, the digital signature/public key/user name/full name inserted in every digitally signed output file can be considered the legally binding equivalent of a traditional handwritten signature. Actiware-CT software does not provide the ability to change the contents of an electronic record that has already been created. Instead, any change to a record
(subject, Actiwatch data, or analysis) is recorded as a new revision with a new digital signature. Any attempt to change a data record manually will make the file unusable by the software. Also, each time an electronic record is created, the user must sign the document, and the users user name and full name, along with date and time of signing are embedded in the record. Note: Each revision to the data file is preserved and signed/hashed separately. 5-6 Clinical Trials Database Validation and Back-up The database is validated and automatically backed-up when Opening a database. Retrieving data from an Actiwatch. Closing a database and exiting Actiware-CT. This means that each records digital signature is verified and each revision history is checked. Hence, any attempt to delete or change data stored in an Actiware database is detected, making the database inaccessible. Export Files Export files created by Actiware, both individual and combined export files, are signed with an electronic signature, including a digital signature. We do this to assist our customers in complying with 21 CFR Part 11. For assistance in verifying this signature for your validation purposes, please contact technical support. 5-7 5-8 Clinical Trials AppENdIx ASlEEP/WAKE ANAlYSIS Actiware scores all epochs as either sleep or wake. Whether a particular epoch is scored as wake is determined by comparing activity counts for the epoch in question and those immediately surrounding it, to a threshold value set by the researcher. If the number of counts exceeds the threshold, the epoch is scored as wake. If it falls below, or is equal to, the threshold, the epoch is scored as sleep. Sleep = Total Activity Counts Wake Threshold Value Wake = Total Activity Counts > Wake Threshold Value Calculating Total Activity Counts Actiware calculates total activity counts based on the sampling epoch. Below are four diagrams showing how this scoring calculation is done. 15-second sampling epochs A-1 30-second sampling epochs 1-minute sampling epochs 2-minute sampling epochs A-2 Sleep/Wake Analysis For instance, assume a 1-minute sampling epoch and the following activity values on/and surrounding the time 12:00. Time 11:58 11:59 12:00 12:01 12:02 Corresponding Activity Data 100 42 20 13 67 The total activity value for the 12:00 epoch would be:
100 * (1/25) + 42 * (1/5) +20 + 13 * (1/5) + 67 * (1/25) = 37.68. If this value is less than or equal to the wake threshold value (next paragraph) then the epoch would be scored as sleep. Wake Threshold Values The total number of activity counts calculated above is compared to the wake threshold value selected by the researcher. These thresholds are listed in the table below. Wake Threshold Selection Low Medium High Automatic Custom Wake Threshold Value*
20 40 80 Computed automatically based on activity data User-selectable value
*The Automatic Wake Threshold Value calculation is this:
1. Sum the activity counts for all epochs of the data set;
2. Count the number of epochs scored as MOBILE for the data set (see below for definition of MOBILE);
3. Compute the MOBILE TIME (number of epochs scored as MOBILE from step 2 multiplied by the Epoch Length) in minutes;
4. Compute the Auto Wake Threshold = ( (sum of activity counts from step 1) divided by (MOBILE TIME from step 3) ) multiplied by 0.88888 Definition of MOBILE:
An epoch is scored as MOBILE if the number of activity counts recorded in that epoch is greater than or equal to the epoch length in 15-second intervals. For example, there are four 15-second intervals for a 1-minute epoch length; hence, the activity value in an epoch would have to be greater than or equal to four to be scored as MOBILE. A-3 A-4 Sleep/Wake Analysis AppENdIx BSTATISTIC DEFINITIONS Statistic Definitions
(In the order, left to right, in which they appear in the statistics table window when all are selected.) Start Time The time at the start of the given Rest, Active, Sleep, Custom, or Daily Interval
(the start of the first epoch in the given interval). End Time The time at the end of the given Rest, Active, Sleep, Custom, or Daily Interval
(the end of the last epoch in the given interval). Interval Duration The time elapsed between the Start Time and the End Time of the given interval, in minutes. Total Activity The sum of all valid physical activity counts [see Total Invalid Time, below] for all epochs from the Start Time to the End Time of the given interval. Average Activity Per Minute The average of all valid physical activity counts for all epochs from the Start Time to the End Time of the given interval divided by the Epoch Length in minutes. Average Activity Per Epoch The average of all valid physical activity counts for all epochs from the Start Time to the End Time of the given interval. Standard Deviation of Activity The standard deviation of all valid physical activity counts for all epochs from the Start Time to the End Time of the given interval.

Total Invalid Time (Sleep/Wake)
(The total number of epochs between the Start Time and the End Time of the given interval for which the sleep/wake scoring algorithm did not have enough data to determine a SLEEP or WAKE score) multiplied by the Epoch Length in minutes (so the Total Invalid Time is in minutes). Note: The insufficient data condition can be caused by invalid or manually excluded physical activity data at the epoch, and/or immediately before the epoch, and/or immediately after the epoch how much before and after being a function of the Epoch Length. Percent Invalid (Sleep/Wake) a) The percentage of Total Invalid Time (Sleep/Wake) [see above] to the Interval Duration [see above]. b) (Total Invalid Time (Sleep/Wake) divided by Interval Duration) multiplied by 100.

B-6 Statistic Definitions AppENdIx CACTIWATCH HARDWARE All communication with Actiwatch is accomplished using an ActiReader that is connected to a computer via an RS-232 Serial Port. This connection to the computer supplies power and communication instructions. Settings made prior to the start of data collection, as well as all data values, are communicated through this device. The Actiwatch and ActiReader communicate using short range radio telemetry. Readers are not unit specific, i.e., any Actiwatch may communicate with any ActiReader or Actiwatch Reader. There are four models of Actiwatch currently available:
Actiwatch-64 Actiwatch-64 contains 64 KB of on-board memory. Chronobiological studies minutes may be selected. An event marker button allows subjects to mark can be conducted over several weeks because intervals longer than five times at which important events occur. Actiwatch-16 Similar to the Actiwatch-64, but Actiwatch-16 has 16 KB of memory. Actiwatch-L Actiwatch-L measures activity and ambient light exposure (illuminance). Actiwatch-L does not have an event marker button. Actiwatch-Score Actiwatch-Score measures activity and subjective weighting of specific times or events. C-1 Actiwatch Details Accelerometer The shape of the accelerometer makes it most sensitive to motion changes in certain orientations. However, it is an omnidirectional sensor, resulting in sensitivity to motion changes in all directions. The Actiwatch stores an integration of movement (including directional aspects) as activity counts. The sampling frequency is 32 Hz. Accelerometer orientation Sensor Calibration and Reproducibility Each Actiwatch has been programmed with a calibration coefficient to normalize data between watches. During calibration at the factory, all Actiwatch devices are normalized to remove most, if not all variation between devices. Regardless of this feature, we emphasize that relative levels of activity within a data set, or as measured by the same device, should be used for drawing inference rather than absolute values between units. This is due to the great variation in mounting the device. Note: To obtain the most repeatable results, it is important to develop a standardized mounting and positioning protocol. Time Keeping The computer clock sets the Actiwatch start time. Within the device a crystal oscillator keeps elapsed time. When a sampling epoch is chosen, Actiwatch waits a specific number of oscillations before storing the number of activity counts. This also applies to delayed starting times. The time-keeping circuitry does not initiate until the device has been removed from the reader. C-2 Actiwatch Hardware Note: For Actiwatch 16/64 (SN prior to V90xxxx) and Actiwatch-L, the time-keeping function of the device will not start while on the ActiReader. These Actiwatch devices cannot keep time while retrieving data. The Actiwatch Score and Actiwatch 16/64 (SN V90xxxx and later) may keep time while on the ActiReader for short durations. You should still reconfigure the watch after retrieving data. Telemetric Communications Link Actiwatch requires no external communications port for configuration or data retrieval. Communication between Actiwatch and ActiReader is established via a wireless link. Water Proof Actiwatch-16, 64, and Actiwatch-L devices are waterproof to IEC Standard 60529 IPX7. They are water tight to a depth of 1 meter for 30 minutes. These devices will tolerate normal daily experiences such as shower, spa (hot tub), swimming, skiing, rain, household chores, etc. Actiwatch-Score is drip-tight to IEC Standard 60529 IPX2. It is resistant to dripping and light splashing of liquids. CAUTION! Prolonged submersion or exposure exceeding the above limits may cause damage to the device. CAUTION! When replacing the battery, it is very important that the rubber O-ring in the battery compartment also be changed. The back mounting panel should be firmly screwed in place to achieve a waterproof seal. The waterproof seals of all Actiwatch devices are checked before leaving the factory. To preserve this integrity, it is imperative you follow the procedures in the Change Battery Wizard. C-3 Standard Wrist Bands Standard Actiwatch wrist bands are washable and disposable. Extra bands and batteries are available from Mini Mitter. Bands may also be interconnected if the device is to be worn on locations other than the wrist. Longer bands for use around the ankle are also available from Mini Mitter, and a soft, nylon band with hook and loop fastener. Other means to attach Actiwatch may be used as long as the protocols of mounting and positioning are followed. Marker Button Actiwatch-16, Actiwatch-64, and Actiwatch-Score models are equipped with a marker switch on the devices front panel. When depressed this button provides tactic feedback alerting the subject to a successful marking of the date and time. A light sensor in Actiwatch-L replaces the marker button. Animal Case Both Actiwatch-16 and Actiwatch-64 can be fitted in the Actiwatch animal case. This case protects Actiwatch from water, soil, shock, and gnawing. It does not affect performance. Actiwatch-L The specifications and functions in this manual for Actiwatch-L pertain to those devices manufactured on or after July 1, 1999. These devices are easy to identify as they have a serial number that begins with the letter P. Actiwatch-L devices manufactured before July 1, 1999 have serial numbers beginning with L. These previous devices have different functional specifications and are not supported by Actiware version 5 or later. If you have questions, contact Mini Mitter for additional information. Actiwatch-Score This device provides the means to subjectively score by two methods. Auditory/flashing-display from device An alarm sounds and the LED display flashes alerting the user to subjectively weight the event. The annunciation times are chosen during the device configuration. An example of this use would be a request of the user to judge the level of sleepiness every half-hour during a long task. Arbitrary input from user In this manual mode the user inputs a level of subjective weighting commensurate with the event. An example of this use might be a level of recurring headache pain through the day, or perhaps a level of depression. Actiwatch-Score devices with serial numbers beginning with N are not supported by Actiware version 5 or later. If you have questions, contact Mini Mitter for additional information. C-4 Actiwatch Hardware ACTIWATCH-L Actiwatch-L and Actiware combine hardware and software functions to determine light (illuminance) exposure for subjects monitored with the Actiwatch-L. Actiware will configure and retrieve data from an Actiwatch-L. When light (illuminance) data are available, Actiware will display them in the Actogram, Graph, Data List, and Statistics Table. Actiwatch-L does not include a marker button. It is replaced with a light sensor. Hence no marker data are available in the analysis windows for Actiwatch-L devices. Light Sensor Type Actiwatch-L has a photodiode for sensing incoming light (illuminance). This optical sensor has a spectral sensitivity approximating that of the human eye. Light Sensor Performance The light-measuring performance of the AW-L is as follows:
Parameter Peak spectral sensitivity Wavelength window Minimum illuminance sensitivity Maximum illuminance sensitivity Linearity Uncertainty Resolution Temperature variation of spectral sensitivity <0.1%
Angular response Active area Value 580 330 to 720 0.1 150,000 2%
<10%
2% of lux value 50 degrees 5.16 Condition or Unit nm (nanometers) nm lux lux Typical from 0.1 to 150,000 lux Typical from 400 to 800 nm Typical From 400 to 800 nm to 1/2 power point mm2 C-5 Recommended Calibration We recommend factory calibration of Actiwatch-L every 12 months. Contact Mini Mitter Technical Support for information. Influences There are various factors that may influence the light (illuminance) data collected by Actiwatch-L. The most likely to occur are as follows. Sensor positioning The angle at which light impacts Actiwatch-L can result in variations in readings. This is true of all light sensing devices. It is important that researchers develop a standardized location on the subject to enable Actiwatch-L to minimize this variable. Condition of the lens Light (illuminance) measurement varies greatly with a buildup of materials on the lens. It is important to check for dirt, moisture, and other obscuring debris prior to initiating data collection. Keeping the device clean will help avoid this problem. Clean as you would eyeglasses, with a soft cloth moistened with water. Inadvertently covering Actiwatch-L The light sensor may inadvertently be covered by clothing or other items. The unit may be detached from the band and used on a visor or other piece of clothing to minimize this possibility. Analysis of data should always take these variables into account. Illuminance Data Illuminance data (light data) retrieved from Actiwatch-L are stored in the Actiware database along with activity data. Illuminance data are expressed in the SI (System International) unit of lux (see Definitions for Actiwatch-L on the following page). Light Analysis is integrated seamlessly into Actiware. Instead of having a separate window for analyzing illuminance data, the Actogram, Graph, Data List, and Statistics Table can be used for light analysis. Actiwatch-L Actogram Data C-6 Actiwatch Hardware Illuminance data are displayed in the Actogram as an orange line graph superimposed over the activity data. You can use the Actogram View toolbar to adjust the Illuminance Scale, the vertical height of the illuminance data. Illuminance data are also shown in Graph as an orange line. Per epoch Illuminance data can be seen in the Data List along with activity data, and can be exported along with activity data and per epoch sleep analysis results. The Illuminance column can be shown or hidden in the Data List or Export files by adjusting settings in the Tools > Options > Data List window. To select illuminance statistics, use Tools > Options window, Statistics tab. The selected illuminance statistics will be included for Rest, Active, Daily, and Custom Intervals. This will cause these statistics to be included for Rest, Active, Daily, and Custom Intervals. You can create Custom Intervals for analyzing periods of interest, without using or affecting sleep statistics. See Advanced Usage, section 4 for help in creating intervals. Definitions for Actiwatch-L The following definitions are specific when analyzing data from an Actiwatch-L. Illuminance Intensity of illumination. The luminous flux incident on a given surface per unit area. Measured in lux. Luminous Flux Rate of flow of radiant energy as evaluated by the luminous sensation that it produces. The luminous flux is obtained from the radiant flux of the source corrected according to the effect it has on the observer, i.e. according to the spectral sensitivity of the receptor. Lux SI (System International) unit of illuminance. One lumen uniformly incident on an area of one square meter. Light The agent that causes a visual sensation when it falls on the retina of the eye (a narrow section of the electromagnetic spectrum). C-7 ACTIWATCH-SCORE Actiwatch-Score is an activity monitor with an annunciator, an event marker button, and an illuminated numerical display. It allows the application of subjective levels to time stamped events. The front panel of Actiwatch-Score has a marker button, 2-digit, 7-segment direct-read LEDs, and an annunciator. Actiwatch-Score activity data is identical to other Actiwatch models. Actiwatch-
Score is unique in that the marker button allows the user to score an event. Actiwatch-Score main functions Actiwatch-Score Setup For all Actiwatch devices, the Actiwatch-Score is configured using the Configure Actiwatch Wizard. This wizard provides the means to program the scoring range
(any range from 0 through 15), and schedule audible alarms. Audible alarms are used to remind the patient to enter a subjective score value into the Actiwatch. Once the data have been downloading into Actiware using the Retrieve Data from Actiwatch wizard, you can analyze your Score Data. Score Analysis Score Analysis is integrated seamlessly into Actiware. Instead of having a separate window for analyzing score data, the Actogram, Graph, Data List, and Statistics Table can be used for score analysis. C-8 Actiwatch Hardware Actiwatch-Score Actogram Data There are three types of Score data. Scheduled Scores These are score values where the patient responded to the scheduled alarm you programmed. These scores appear as magenta lines on the display. Manual Scores These scores were entered manually, without an alarm. They appear as green lines on the display. No Response When the patient does not respond to a scheduled alarm, this is represented by a small red triangle. C-9 Only one score can be recorded per epoch. The score value and score type can be seen by placing your mouse over the triangle at the top of the score value in the Actogram. Per epoch score data can be seen in the Data List along with activity data, and can be exported along with activity data and per epoch sleep analysis results. In addition, a Marker/Score List is provided that includes only the score data. The Score and Score Type columns can be shown or hidden in the Data List or Export files by adjusting settings in the Tools > Options > Data List window. To generate statistics based on score data, use the Tools > Options window, Statistics tab to include Score Statistics. This will cause these statistics to be included for Rest, Active, Daily, and Custom Intervals. You can create Custom Intervals for analyzing periods of interest, without using or affecting sleep statistics. See Getting Started in section 2 for help in creating custom intervals. Annunciator The annunciator is a miniature horn that generates a chirp form of audible announcement. The annunciator sound exits through the side of the case. The annunicator is water-resistant as well as the case. Turning off the annunciator 1. Hold the marker button down 3 seconds. 2. The LED will display OF to verify the annunciator is off. Turning on the annunciator 1. Hold the marker button down for 3 seconds. 2. The LED will display On to verify the annunciator is on. Note: After setup, the annunciator is reset to On. Marker Button The marker button is a switch that is used to respond to an audible event and enter a score to weight the event. It can also be used to turn the annunciator on and off. C-10 Actiwatch Hardware Scheduled Events During a scheduled event, if the marker button is pressed the annunciator will silence, and the score range minimum value chosen during setup will replace the two dashes. Each subsequent press of the marker will increment the display until it reaches the score range maximum value chosen during setup. If the marker button is pressed one more time, the display will begin again at the minimum value. Manual Event During a manual event, i.e., when no alarm is sounded but a marker is entered, the display will show two dashes. If the annunciator is enabled, Actiwatch-Score will beep once per second for 10 seconds, or until the event is scored. Note: Once the marker button is pressed, released, and pressed again and held, the LED will increment once per second. LED Display The display is a 2-digit, 7-segment LED. In addition to displaying the score (event weighting), there are other functions as well. When an event is to be scored, the annunciator will beep once per second for 10 seconds. If the annunciator is disabled, only the LED will activate. The display will show the annunciator status (on or off) after the marker button is pressed and held for 3 seconds (refer to Annunciator on preceding page). Note: AW-Score will not acquire activity data during the brief time the LEDs are lit, such as when setting score values. C-11 Battery Life The battery life for Actiwatch-Score is primarily affected by:
The number of score entries (whether prompted by an alarm or not) Time taken to enter a score (when the LEDs are lit) The following table is the battery life in days as a function of the average scores per day, and the average score entry time (approximate):
s t n e v e e r o c S y a d y b d e r e t n e Time taken to enter score 10 sec 139 days 123 days 100 days 73 days 20 sec 123 days 100 days 73 days 47 days 30 sec 110 days 84 days 57 days 35 days 5 10 20 40 C-12 Actiwatch Hardware Actiwatch Battery Replacement Procedure Nearly all Actiwatch devices use the CR2025 coin-cell battery. The methods used to change the battery are identical for all current devices. If you have an earlier Actiwatch, refer to the Instruction Manual for that device, or read the Battery Change Instructions included with the battery change kits available from Mini Mitter. CAUTION! The latest Actiwatch-Score models (serial numbers having a D prefix, e.g. Dxxxxx) use a CR 2025 battery. Earlier Actiwatch- Score models (serial numbers having an N prefix, e.g. Nxxxxx), use a CR 2032 battery. These batteries are not interchangeable, and may result in electronic or mechanical destruction. Use of the improper battery will void the warranty. Battery Change Wizard Actiware 5.0 contains a Change Battery Wizard. The wizard will take you through the process step-by-step, from replacing the battery to testing the Actiwatch and changing the battery fitted date. CAUTION! It is important that you thoroughly read the following information prior to changing the battery. Failure to follow procedures may result in immediate or subsequent damage to the product. C-13 CAUTION! To retain the integrity of the waterproof seal, it is recommended that you change the O-ring in the battery compartment at the same time you change the battery. The Actiwatch battery is required for data collection, reading, and writing. Actiwatch has a non-volatile memory, i.e., data stored are not lost after the battery has run down. If you are attempting to read a device with a low battery, the Ready LED will still light on the reader. It is recommended that you keep a log of the battery changes for each Actiwatch. The Actiwatch battery is a CR2025, 3-Volt, 220-mAmp-hour Lithium Manganese cell. To properly install this battery, specific items may be required. These items are included in the Battery Change Kit from Mini Mitter.

C-16 Actiwatch Hardware Actiwatch Cleaning Procedure The Actiwatch and band may be cleaned by using a cloth moistened with a mild detergent and warm water. Do not use bleach, alcohol, cleaning solutions containing alcohol, or any strong household cleaners. Cleaning the Actiwatch Band Actiwatch bands can be washed and reused. However, it should be noted that Actiwatch studies involve mounting Actiwatch on the body. With some subjects, this may raise particular sensitivities with respect to reusing the bands, and that should be taken into consideration. Additional bands are inexpensive and are available from the manufacturer. Clean the band as follows. 1 Remove the band from the device. 2 Hand wash the band in warm water with a mild detergent. Rinse. 3 Gently dry with a paper towel or soft cloth, or air dry. Cleaning the Actiwatch Device Only when the battery cover is installed and the fully sealed should Actiwatch be cleaned. CAUTION! Do not clean this device while the battery cover is off. Clean the Actiwatch device as follows. 1 Clean with the battery cover on. 2 Wet a corner of a clean cloth with warm water. Add a drop or two of mild detergent to the wet cloth and gently wipe the Actiwatch device. Wet another corner with warm water and wipe away soap residue. 3 Gently dry with a paper towel or soft cloth. 4 Mount the Actiwatch back on the clean band.

Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people a Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the device is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the device should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-
orienting or relocating the device. b Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, the field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.
