How should I care for my Somnee headband?Updated 8 months ago
Caring for the headband:
After your session, disconnect the flex clip and place the headband on the charger base. The charger base is a smart charger, so you can safely store your headband there all day and ensure it has a full battery before every session.
We also advise hand washing the Somnee headband cover with water every 1-2 weeks, depending on usage. To wash your headband, first remove your EEG sensor. Then use warm water and mild soap to gently clean your headband.
Additionally, we suggest using an alcoholic wipe to thoroughly (but gently) clean the EEG sensors to ensure there are no particles or grim that could cause discomfort during sessions. With the sensor in the headband, simply wipe down the portion of the EEG sensor that's visible and makes contact with your skin. Please do so every 1-2 weeks, or as needed.
Caring for the electrodes:
After your 15-minute session, remove the flex clip and place it on the mound with the gel side of the electrodes facing down. This will help protect them from drying out or collecting dust and other particles.
