Users Manual

Bad Elf Flex User Manual Introduction The Bad Elf Flex is an external GNSS receiver designed for field data collection when paired with a mobile phone or tablet. The hardware supports several configurations including multi-constellation, multi-frequency, and L-Band reception. Product Overview What’s in the box The following items are included in the standard Flex configuration: ●Rugged carrying case ●Bad Elf Flex ●Wall charger ●Vehicle charger ●1m USB charging cable ●USB OTG adapter cable ●Pole mount adapter ●Quick start guide Supported devices You can connect a Flex receiver to a handheld device, phone, or tablet powered by the following operating systems: ●iOS version 11 or newer ●Android versions 4.1x or newer ●Windows 10.x or newer ●Mac OS X 10.4 or newer Using the Bad Elf Flex We’ve designed the Flex to be as simple and intuitive as possible. Charging the Bad Elf Flex ●How to charge & charge indicators ●Operation while charging ●Compatible chargers ●Temperature - charge limitations ●Low battery - device behavior Turning on and off the receiver To turn the receiver on, press and hold the power button for 3 seconds. The Flex will take approximately 20 seconds to start up and begin looking for satellites. To turn the receiver off, press and hold the power button for 3 seconds. Status information (LCD & LEDs) The LCD display is the primary user interface of the Flex accessory The LEDs are used to display information at-a-glance. Their function changes depending on what mode you are in. The LCD screen will usually have a label or key that indicates what each LED represents. By default, the LEDs are configured to show the following status information: Left LED Power status Center LED User configurable. Default: shows GNSS navigation status Right LED User configurable. Default: shows Bluetooth connection status The power status LED is used to indicate the battery, charging, and operating status. Color Meaning Solid Green Fully charged Flashing Green Charging Red Battery Low Flashing Red Battery critically low Connecting your mobile device via Bluetooth The following steps will help you connect your mobile phone or tablet to the Flex receiver via Bluetooth. Start by making sure you Flex is turned on, and within range of your phone or tablet. Then follow the instructions below: For iPhone and iPad devices running iOS ●On your iOS Device, open the Settings app and navigate to the Bluetooth screen. ●If needed, turn Bluetooth on. ●If you have not previously paired with this Bad Elf Flex, it will appear in the “Other Devices” section. Tap the Flex in the list to start the pairing process. You may be prompted to confirm the pairing on both your mobile device and ●Once you are paired, the Flex will appear in the My Devices section. If the status shows as Disconnected, you can tap the Flex name to initiate a connection. ●Once the pairing and connection succeeds, you should see it listed as ​Connected ​in the list of devices on your iOS device. For Android phones and tablets To pair the Flex with your Android device: 1.On your Android device, go to Settings > Wireless & Networks. Make sure Bluetooth is turned on. 2.Go to Settings > Wireless & Networks > Bluetooth Settings and tap Scan for devices. 3.After a few seconds, the Flex should appear in the list of available Bluetooth devices. 4.Tap the name in the list and to start the pairing process. You may be prompted on both your Android device and Flex to confirm the pairing. 5.Once paired, you usually see the Flex show up in the list as Connected for a few seconds, before switched to Disconnected. This is normal. The Bluetooth connection will be opened/closed by whatever apps are using it. For Windows To pair the Flex with your Windows computer please follow the instructions below. This process will only have to be done once and does not need to be repeated in the future. 1.Select Bluetooth Devices from the icon list in the lower right hand portion of your desktop. 2.Note, the Bluetooth option may not be displayed. If not click the up arrow. 3.If your Bad Elf accessory is turned on, you should see something like BE5500-12345678 (with your unit's serial number) in the list. 4.Select your Bad Elf receiver from the list, and tap the Pair button. 5.Within 5-10 seconds, you should see a prompt from windows showing pairing is complete. Once this action is completed, the message “Ready to pair” will change to “Paired” as shown below. At this point you have successfully paired your Bad Elf receiver with your Windows computer. Next, you will need to determine the COM port assigned by the operating system. To accomplish this: 1.Click on the icon to the left of the Bad Elf GPS #XXXXXXX 2.Click on “More Bluetooth Options” 3.A Bluetooth settings dialog will open 4.Click on the “COM Ports” tab 5.The COM port with your device serial number labeled as “Outgoing” is the COM port you should use for your application. Connecting your computer via USB Use the supplied Micro-USB cable to connect the Bad Elf Flex to your desktop or laptop computer. Once properly connect you will see the charging indicator come on if the Flex is not fully charged.

Figure 1 – MVG COMOSAR Dosimetric E field Dipole Probe Length 330 mm Length of Individual Dipoles 2 mm Maximum external diameter 8 mm Probe Tip External Diameter 2.5 mm Distance between dipoles / probe extremity 1 mm 3 MEASUREMENT METHOD The IEEE 1528, OET 65 Bulletin C, CENELEC EN50361 and CEI/IEC 62209 standards provide recommended practices for the probe calibrations, including the performance characteristics of interest and methods by which to assess their affect. All calibrations / measurements performed meet the fore mentioned standards. 3.1 LINEARITY The evaluation of the linearity was done in free space using the waveguide, performing a power sweep to cover the SAR range 0.01W/kg to 100W/kg.

The information contained herein is to be used only for the purpose for which it is submitted and is not to be released in whole or part without written approval of MVG. 3.2 SENSITIVITY The sensitivity factors of the three dipoles were determined using a two step calibration method (air and tissue simulating liquid) using waveguides as outlined in the standards. 3.3 LOWER DETECTION LIMIT The lower detection limit was assessed using the same measurement set up as used for the linearity measurement. The required lower detection limit is 10 mW/kg. 3.4 ISOTROPY The axial isotropy was evaluated by exposing the probe to a reference wave from a standard dipole with the dipole mounted under the flat phantom in the test configuration suggested for system validations and checks. The probe was rotated along its main axis from 0 - 360 degrees in 15 degree steps. The hemispherical isotropy is determined by inserting the probe in a thin plastic box filled with tissue-equivalent liquid, with the plastic box …
