Viterion Vitacast Quick Guide-Patient Instructions for Use
1. IMPORTANT: Read this prior to operating the Vitacast 1000. If you have questions on how to use the
Vitacast, connecting your health devices or on your health condition, contact your Care Coordinator.
Always use the Vitacast as directed by your healthcare practitioner.
Getting Started with the
Viterion Vitacast 1000SM
• 1 Vitacast 1000SM
touch screen tablet
• 1 power adapter, 5 volt, 3.0 A for 120V, 60 Hz AC
• 1 touch screen stylus. You may use either your fingertip or the stylus to press the screen buttons.
Contact your healthcare practitioner if the contents are missing or damaged.
Place the Vitacast on a stable surface, such as a table, near an electrical outlet. Attach the power
adapter to the round outlet at the back of the tablet (marked 5V) and plug the other end into the electrical
outlet. This will also charge the Vitacast’s internal battery. When fully charged after two hours, the
Vitacast can be disconnected from its power adapter and used portably for approximately 30 minutes.
It is recommended that the Vitacast remain connected to electrical power for everyday use,
even when the power is turned off.
