3. LIGHTS: 3 blinking orange lights means it needs to be charged but has enough charge to function for about a week 1 with normal usage. A single orange light means there is no prescription downloaded yet.
Troubleshooting tip: no lights after 5s, attempt to power device. Wait a few minutes, then press the power button while plugged in. Lights should be seen. If no lights, allow to charge for at least an hour and then unplug and try holding power button 5s and release to see if there are lights. If not, then contact the company.

6. Login to patient account on the app and search for your Doctor

● If your Doctor does not come up in search, he/she has not signed up yet, then
use Michael Gertner (California).
● You should now see a screen that says “scanning for more” which means your

Doctor has been accepted and the app is looking for iTEAR devices.

Troubleshooting Note: Device Not Showing Up on screen:

7. You should see a prescription available

Figure 5: Press the add prescription button to download your prescription. If no prescription, then it may not have been downloaded to account. Contact company.

Troubleshooting Tip: After adding prescription or if the prescription tab does not seem to activate or if the app locks up, the bluetooth may have disconnected.

NOTE: Intensity 5 was the intensity in generation 1

Figure 6: After pressing the add prescription button, you should see a 30 day prescription. If you don’t see the add prescription button, then your Doctor may not have prescribed one or it has not been uploaded. Contact the company. After adding the prescription, if there is a spinning wheel, disconnect and reconnect.
