Part I: Getting Started Step 1: Locate components Inside you will find the facepiece (1), module (2), carry bag (3), charging cable (4) and “Style A” strap assembly (5). You may also have an alternative “Style B” strap (6) included with your Calibre. If you have received more than one facepiece or strap, put them aside for now.

Step 2: Plug it in Connect the larger end (USB-A) of the charging cable (4) to a standard USBA socket (not included) and plug the small end (USB-C) it into the Calibre™ module as shown. The light bar (LB) on the module will pulsate while charging and turn solid when fully charged. Note: the initial charging also serves to “unlock” your Calibre from its locked shipping-safe mode.
Step 3: Download the App The Calibre™ App is available in both the App Store and Google Play, simply scan the QR Code with your phone to download the Calibre App. Then follow the downloading instructions on your screen. Tip: You can also go to calibrebio.com/download using your phone’s browser or search for Calibre Biometrics app in the App Store / Google Play. © 2022 Calibre Biometrics. All rights reserved.
Step 4: Onboarding and Connecting to the Device With your e-unit fully charged, unplug the unit from the charging cable. You will now need to push the button once so the unit is ready to connect. The light will be flashing when ready. Launch the Calibre™ App on your phone and follow the onboarding sequence. It will guide you through 2 simple steps (after which you are ready to use it). A. Creating an account/profile B.
Step 5: Attach module to the facepiece Just push it in - You will hear a “click” when module is in place. (1) (2) Insertion Removal Tip: To separate module from facepiece hold facepiece firmly in one hand and pull out the module with your thumb on one of its edges.

Step 6: Attach the straps You can use Strap assembly “Style A” or “Style B” , but not both at the same time. There is no performance difference, only personal comfort preference. For “Style A”, the strap may already be attached to the headband (and facepiece), but if needed, thread the strap (7) though the slots (8) on the head band (9). Loop each of the two strap tips through the anchors (10) on the facepiece, and fold each of the threaded tips back on itself, securing with the Velcro pad.
For Style B assembly (6), strap may already be attached to the facepiece, but if not, simply feed one strap about half-way through the right facepiece anchor (10). Attach the other strap half-way through the left facepiece anchor and attach one tip of each strap to the corresponding tip of the other strap using the two connector clamps provided. Both strap connectors go behind the head, with one branch above the ear while and the other below the ear.
Step 7: Adjust For Seal & Comfort With either style strap attached, pull the assembly down over your head with facepiece in front and the strap behind your head (think of pulling down Ski Goggles, but lower – under your nose). Make sure it covers your mouth while cradling the bottom your nose. Adjust the strap length for comfort and fit.
Tips: • You do not need to undo the straps to take it off – just pull it up over your head. • Check out the FAQ for further guidance on sealing and comfort © 2022 Calibre Biometrics. All rights reserved.
Part II: Understanding Calibre The Basics: Dashboard, Recording, Sessions and Activity Calibre starts measuring and analyzing your breath as soon as you put it on, and after a few breaths it starts generating real time readings that are displayed on the App’s Dashboard, for you to see. These include metabolic (calorie burn, fat burn, keto gauge, etc.) and respiratory (breathing rate, VO2, anaerobic gauge, etc.) metrics.
You can assign an Activity to each recording. This is just a label you can use to keep track and organize your recorded sessions. The choice of Activity has no effect on the measurement and the calculations, so it means whatever you want it to mean. You can make up your own activity names (Note: this feature may not be available on early versions of the app). Tip: You can change the Activity assigned to a session any time after it is saved © 2022 Calibre Biometrics. All rights reserved.
Data in Real Time While recording is on, you can view the cumulative data as it comes in, on the Recording screen, which you can always access by tapping the Recording icon on the bottom of the screen. You can also view the Dashboard during a recording and see the same real time values, whether or not they are being recorded (tap Dashboard at the bottom of screen). Calibre has a lot of metrics it can show.
Recorded data You can look at data recorded in the past by clicking the Sessions icon at the bottom of your screen. Each session is identified by its start date & time, as well as the Activity you assigned to it: click on it and it takes you to the Headliner View for that session.
Part III: Using Calibre Once it has made the initial connection to your phone, almost all the operation is from the app. The physical device itself has only a few simple operations: it can be turned on or off, and when it is on it can be connected (to your phone app) or disconnected. On / Off To turn it on or off press and hold the button for three seconds. • When you turn it on, light bar gradually illuminates brighter. • When you turn it off, the light bar fades gradually.
Connecting / Disconnecting When Calibre is disconnected, a short click on the button begins signaling to the app that your Calibre is available, and the light bar flashes (white). It continues to signal until it finds your phone and they connect (Make sure the app is on). If it does not find your phone, it will time out after a while; but another short click will start a new attempt.
New Phone If you press and continue to hold the button for 10 seconds (another 7 seconds after the light has faded), Calibre will “forget your phone” and become available to connect with a new phone. You can tell by the quick flash of light after the extra 7 seconds. If this happens unintentionally, no worries: Simply connect your Calibre to the (same) phone again as you did the first time. © 2022 Calibre Biometrics. All rights reserved.
Charging To charge the battery, simply plug in the USB-C charging cable. It may take a few hours to fully charge. White light will pulsate gently while charging continues. When charging is complete, light becomes solid for a short time, then fades off. To stop the light from showing during charging, just double click the button. Double click again to bring it back on.
Calibration One of Calibre’s many remarkable features is how it performs calibration. Calibration runs automatically when charging, but you can also run a “manual” calibration any time from the app, for extra precision, especially when taking it into a new environment. Just be sure to put it on a stable surface, protected from any wind, and leave it alone while it runs its quick internal calibration. While calibrating, a yellow light pulsates on the device.
Part IV: Cleaning Your Calibre Calibre is easy to clean. Just never skip Step 1. 1. ⚠ Separate the module from the facepiece before cleaning. 2. Wash the facepiece with water – we recommend using antibacterial liquid soap or detergent if available. Make sure to rinse & dry. 3. To clean the module just wipe it with a moist cloth, paper towel or disposable wipe. Tips: • Do not use an abrasive scrubber on facepiece as it might degrade the antifog coating.
