                          Make sure that your device is connected to your normal / preferred WIFI network. 

                          Go to the configuration page.

                          Then follow these 5 steps:

                              1. Plug your Podostation into the USB port of your computer.
                              2. Click "Start Search".
                              3. Select your WIFI network
                              4. Enter your WIFI password and click "Connect".
                              5. Once the configuration is complete, you can close the configuration tab and return to the PodoSmart interface. It will be automatically updated with the equipment management and you will then be able to make acquisitions.

                          Each time you use a different device that is not set up with your Podostation or another WIFI network, you will need to repeat steps 1 to 4 and choose "Connection" at step 5.

                          If your Podostation has already been configured, simply plug your station to the mains or to an external battery. Then, just like when using  your computer, go to https://app.podosmart.tech/

                            The full charging time of the inserts takes 2.5 hours and the duration of use is 22.5 hours of continuous activity, knowing that a complete activity takes between 2 and 4 minutes or 2400 hours in non-stop sleep.

                            Go to the Devices tab, click on Check status if necessary. The battery level of the left and right insoles will appear.



                            In case of a problem: 

                            1. The Podostation must be connected in order to check the battery level of your insoles. 
                            To make sure, check the status of your Podostation in the Stations section on the top right.
                            This logo means that your Podostation is connected.
                            Signal Podostation connecté This logo means that your Podostation is offline.Signal Podostation non connecté  
                            2. If the PodoStation is not connected ,  Signal Podostation non connecté please look at the section "How do I reconfigure my PodoStation?

                            3. If the PodoStation is connected,  Signal Podostation connecté and this symbol appearswhen checking the battery level, it means that the PodoStation does not have access to these insoles. The reasons and solutions for this problem can be:

                            • The insoles are discharged (recharge the)

                            • The insoles are still charging (unplug them to check the battery level)

                            • The insoles are on standby (shake them or connect/disconnect them)

                            For faster charge, we recommend to plug the soles directly into a power supply. 
                            Plugging them into the Podostation to charge them will be less efficient.    

                            1. To start the update, your insoles must be chargedand saved in the Equipement tab.                        
                            The orange circle   
                              at this level indicates the number of updates to be done. 
                            Click on
                             to update the insoles.


                             

                            2. A new page appears, choose to update one pair or all of them by clicking on Update all.




                            I can't connect the insoles, what can I do?

                             

                            Make sure that the insoles are charged, unplugged from the USB cable and not in standby mode. To make sure the insoles are not on standby, shake them to wake them up. You can also plug and unplug the insoles. 

                            If the problem persists, the station may not be connected.
                            To check if the station is connected, go to the Equipment menu, and check if the Podostation icon is green.


                            If the station is not available, please refer to the section "How to create an account and configure the Podostation? ».

                            I can't manage to update the insoles, what can I do?

                            Make sure that the insoles are charged, unplugged from the USB cable and not in standby mode. To make sure the insoles are not on standby, shake them to wake them up. You can also plug and unplug the insoles. 

                            If the problem persists, the station may not be connected.
                            To check if the station is connected, go to the Equipment menu, and check if the Podostation icon is green.

                             
                            If the station is not available, please refer to the section "How to create an account and configure the Podostation? ».

                            What is the range of the insoles? Do I have to stand next to the station?

                            The insoles communicate with the device only at the launch of the acquisition and at the end of it. During these two periods, the insoles must be at a maximum distance of two meters from the box.

                            However, during the acquisition, the insoles keep all the information and transmit it to the Podostation at the end of the acquisition. Therefore, a session can even last outside a medical practice.

                            Pour charger les semelles il vous faut :

                            • les semelles

                            • les câbles blancs à double port micro USB

                            • la podostation branchée

                            Branchez les semelles directement à la PODOStation, en prenant soin d'insérer la petite prise USB dans le bon sens dans le port de chargement situé derrière le petit couvercle sur le côté de chaque semelle. Elle peut charger 4 paires de semelles simultanément.

                            Le temps de chargement est de 2h30 :

                            • Tenue en utilisation : 22h30 d’activité continue – sachant qu’une mesure complète prend entre 2 et 4 minutes 

                            • Tenue en inutilisation : 2400h en sommeil non-stop

                            We recommend the use of disposable socks.

                            The insoles can be washed by hand with soap or another product. 

                            There are several waste collection points where you can leave your insoles containing used Ion-Lithium batteries. 

                            • Shops which sell batteries have the obligation to collect them for free.   

                            • Supermarkets, DIY and electronics shops provide recycling containers.    

                            • Recycling centres are also accredited to collect batteries.   

                            • City halls, administrations and public places can as well provide collecting points. 

                            Station

                            How do I rename the PodoStation?

                            In the Equipment tab, then in the Station section, click on the three small dots next to the name of the Podostation.
                            Choose Rename, then once the new name is written, save it.

                             

                            Make sure the station is properly connected to a power source, you should see blue lights flashing from the station.

                            Make sure the station is connected properly. To do this, go to the Equipment menu, and check if the Podostation is available with a green icon. 
                            If there is no green icon and the station is connected, try refreshing the page.

                            If it doesn't work, make sure the configuration has been done correctly. You can reconfigure the station by using the following link: config.podosmart.tech   

                            If the station has not been configured for an available WIFI, please make sure to do so by following the following link: config.podosmart.tech

                            Do not forget to reconfigure your Podostation when you change location.

                            Following recent updates to Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge, you can experiencing issues configuring with your Podostation. 

                             

                            To solve the issue: 


                                - Use Mozilla Firefox

                             

                                - Use Chrome, do a small procedure, follow this link : chrome://flags/#block-insecure-private-network-requests

                                    Disable the option "Block insecure private network requests".    

                                    Choose DISABLED

                                    Restart as proposed.

                                    Then restart the configuration as before.

                             

                                - Use Edge, do a small procedure, follow this link : edge://flags/#block-insecure-private-network-requests

                                    Disable the option "Block insecure private network requests".

                                    Choose DISABLED

                                    Restart as proposed.

                                    Then restart the configuration as before


                             

                            If you change the WIFI, it is necessary to configure the Podostation again. 

                            To reconfigure the Podostation, go to the Equipments tab, then to the Stations section and click on the three small dots next to the station you want to reconfigure. Then click on Re-configure.



                            The Podostation does not need to be connected to your device.  It only needs to be plugged in for battery power (computer, power outlet, external battery).  

                            However, for configuration, the Podostation must be connected to your device.  


                            Once configured, as long as your device and the station are connected to the same WIFI, there is no need for the station to be connected to the computer. 
                             

                            Note: If you add a new WIFI ; it is necessary to reconfigure the Podostation and therefore connect it to the device

                             

                            At the opening of podosmart interface, it takes a few minutes to the station to connect to the WIFI.
                            During the use if you meet issues of connection we advise you to:

                            - Check the stability of your WIFI 
                            - Make shorter acquisitions
                            - Plug the station to the main power supply
                            - Check that the station is not in the middle of other cables that could disturb the operation..
