•EPOC Flex can be used with gel or saline based sensors.
•WARNING: EPOC Flex is powered by a Lithium-Polymer battery that is rated for
operation in <45C environments. It is not user replaceable, please contact support if
you suspect a fault or have any questions.
•WARNING: Do not open the enclosure. Doing so will void the warranty and can
damage the headset.
•WARNING: Do not charge EPOC Flex while wearing the device. In the unlikely event
your PC has a faulty power supply you and your headset could unintentionally
become the ground path and so If EPOC Flex detects a USB connection when
turned on it will stop communicating.
Assembly Quick Start
We recommend that you use a polystyrene head when setting up the cap as this will
make setup easier.
1. Remove the cap, electrode trees and controller from the packaging.
2. Fit the controller to the cap with the emotiv logo as pictured above.
3. Fit the blue wire tree into the left side of the controller and the red wire tree into the
right side.
4. Starting with LA position your sensors into the cap, we recommend that you try to
keep left and right as a mirror image to make setup simple. See our example layout
above.
5. The cap is now ready for fitting onto the test subject.
6. Please plug in the universal USB receiver into your computer and ensure the power
switch is to the right a blue LED will turn on indicating power on. You should also see
the lights on the receiver change to indicate it is receiving data.
Cleaning gel sensors & cap
Under most circumstances, cleaning of caps and electrodes in mild detergent with a
toothbrush suffices. Note: Dish-detergents often leave a film. Children’s shampoo will
be a good choice. Afterward, rinse the cap with water and the electrodes with distilled
water. Finally, the moisture is taken away by wrapping in a towel. The rest can dry in
the air.
Best: Rinse the cap with the electrodes directly after each usage.
Electrodes Clean the electrodes immediately after each use, best before the
electrolyte gel or paste starts drying. Rinse off all rests of the gel under a running tap.
