OPERATION MODES

As long as the UPRIGHT GO is on, it will continuously monitor your posture data, making the data available in the mobile app.

UPRIGHT GO has two operation modes:

TRAINING - in this mode the device will vibrate every time you slouch.

TRACKING - the device will not vibrate, but will still track your posture.

HOW TO SWITCH BETWEEN THE MODES

You can switch between modes either via the app or via the UPRIGHT GO power button.

USING THE APP

Tap START TRAINING to move to TRAINING mode - notice the top bar now shows

“TRAINING”. Tap PAUSE TRAINING to switch to TRACKING mode (top bar shows

“TRACKING”).

USING THE DEVICE

Click the power button one time to switch from TRAINING mode to TRACKING mode.

Remember to calibrate your device first.

HOW TO CHOOSE BETWEEN THE MODES

• TRAINING mode works best when you’re sitting or standing, and can be attentive to your UPRIGHT's feedback.

• TRAINING mode is not recommended while you are busy with activities that regularly require you to bend down (e.g. eating, washing dishes, house cleaning, etc.).

• Switch to TRACKING mode when you cannot be engaged in the training, or when you're finished with your trainings for the day.

9

10

YOUR TRAINING PLAN

• Your training plan is built based upon your personal profile.

• Each training day has a daily goal that represents your recommended training time. Daily goals gradually increase in difficulty.

• Please note that you can only complete your daily goals in TRAINING mode, while having an upright posture.

• Once you complete your training plan, you will be provided with guidance regarding how to retain your improved posture.

2-4 times a week are recommended for maintaining your posture.

RESTING BREAKS

• To help maintain a healthy balance of training over a specified amount of time, the UPRIGHT GO will notify you with a long vibration. Shortly after, the device will automatically switch to TRACKING mode.

• Make sure to stick with the training plan and not overtrain. If you wish to train more than your daily goal, we recommend not to train more than double your daily goal, especially in the first 5 days. Overtraining may cause sore muscles.

11

12

SESSIONS

• As you make progress with your training, you will be introduced to the concept of

"Training Sessions."

• Clinical studies show that repetition plays a significant role in habit formation. Training sessions were designed to simulate this.

• A daily goal might be divided into 2-3 training sessions. It is recommended that you take a proper break (of about 40 minutes) after finishing a session.

PLACING UPRIGHT GO ON YOUR BACK

You have 5 multiple-use adhesives in your

UPRIGHT GO box. One of them is already attached to the back side of the device.

• For best performance, make sure that your skin is dry and clean before placing the

UPRIGHT GO on your back. The adhesives will not stick to wet skin.

• Peel off the green patterned covering from the adhesive.

• Next, firmly attach the device to your upper back, directly on

your spine.

UPRIGHT GO ADHESIVES

MAINTENANCE

Each multiple-use adhesive can last for several weeks with proper cleaning and maintenance.

When needed, the adhesives should be cleaned with the alcohol pads included in the box, or any standard alcohol pad. You can also clean with a few drops of water and some soap.*

After cleaning, make sure to let the adhesive dry off before attaching it to your skin.

To ensure the cleanliness of the adhesive in use, we recommend placing your device in the travel case whenever you are not using it.

14

*

The UPRIGHT GO is not water proof, so make sure

water does not enter the USB port.

REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS

1. Remove the old adhesive from the

UPRIGHT GO and take a new adhesive.

2. Peel off only the blank side and attach to the device.

3. Once you are ready to train, peel off the green ”SKIN” side and attach the device to your upper back, directly on the spine.

You can always order more adhesives on our website:

CALIBRATION

The calibration process serves to teach your

UPRIGHT GO what your upright (i.e. straight) posture is.

It is important to calibrate your UPRIGHT GO every time you put it on your back.

If you're about to spend the majority of your day sitting, you should calibrate while sitting.

Otherwise, calibrate while standing.

You can repeat this step whenever you feel that your slouch position is not properly identified.

HOW TO CALIBRATE

Calibrating your device is very simple and only takes 2 seconds. It can be done either from the app or from the UPRIGHT GO itself, as follows:

• Move into your upright posture and stay still for calibration.

• Double click the power button, or tap

CALIBRATION on the app's main screen.

• UPRIGHT GO will immediately respond with two short vibrations.

Go to the next page for more tips on how to perfect your upright posture during calibration.

17

18

HOW TO PERFECT YOUR UPRIGHT POSTURE

To be upright, during calibration or in general, make sure to pay attention to the following instructions:

SITTING

• The first step is to find your neutral spine, meaning your natural upright position.

• The common mistake is to hyperextend with the thought that you are straight.

Always remember that your neutral spine

should feel comfortable and natural.

• Pull your belly button towards your spine to find support from your core. Remember to breath deeply and stay relaxed.

• Roll your shoulders back and drop them straight down.

• Lengthen your neck and slightly tuck your chin in.

• Imagine there is a string pulling you up from your crown.

• As long as you're upright, you may choose to lean against your chair or not. However, your core muscles are more engaged while not leaning back.

19

20

HOW TO PERFECT YOUR UPRIGHT POSTURE

STANDING

To maintain a good posture while standing up or walking about, keep these tips in mind:

• Stand tall, take a deep breath, and relax your shoulders back.

• Keep your head level with your body, pull in your abdomen and don't lock your knees.

Be sure to not stare down at your phone - if you need to use your phone, lift it up, rather than staring down.

21

OPERATING YOUR UPRIGHT GO FROM

BOTH THE APP & THE DEVICE ITSELF

CALIBRATION

1. Turn UPRIGHT GO on.

2. Place it on your back and hold an upright position.

3. Calibrate it by double clicking the power button. UPRIGHT GO will respond with

2 vibrations.

4. You are ready to GO!

Your posture data will be saved on the device.

VIBRATION SETTINGS

You can easily press the Vibration button in the main screen of the app to customize your

UPRIGHT GO vibration features.

There are three different Vibration Patterns you can choose from:

PATTERN SENSITIVITY DELAY

This allows you to balance between shorter and longer vibrations for your convenience.

The Sensitivity slider allows you to choose how strict (high sensitivity) or lenient (low sensitivity) you want your GO to be. If you move the slider to a lower value, you will need to slouch more in order for the GO to vibrate.

PATTERN SENSITIVITY DELAY

We wouldn’t like the UPRIGHT GO to vibrate whenever you just bend over to pick something up from the floor. In Delay setting you can choose the gap in time between slouching to vibration. The recommended time is 2 sec and will allow UPRIGHT GO to ignore necessary and short slouches.

PATTERN SENSITIVITY DELAY

RECOMMENDED

FIRMWARE UPDATE

As we keep working on making the UPRIGHT GO better, every once in a while we release a new device software version. Each version update includes improvements and new features.

Whenever there's a new firmware available, we strongly recommend you to update.

To update your firmware, connect your UPRIGHT

GO to the app.

Next, go to SETTINGS > FIRMWARE UPDATE .

Before you start, check out the following tips:

• Firmware update takes a few minutes, in which we recommend to use your phone as minimally as possible.

• Make sure that both your UPRIGHT GO and your phone are fully charged, and that there is an internet connection.

• Keep the UPRIGHT GO and your phone close together.
