1\. Turn Proteus on and start with the arm centered, parallel to ground, and all the way in. On the page "Getting Started With Orientation", click "Get Started".

***Note: If connected, the "play" button on the Bluetooth Controller can be used to advance between screens.***

2\. On the page "Orient The Linear Sensor", slowly pull the arm all the way out and then push all the way in, following the instructions on the screen. If the screen doesn't auto-advance, repeat the movements a second time. Once the screen reads "The linear sensor is correctly oriented", click "Continue to Base Sensor".

3\. On the page "Orient The Base Sensor", move the arm so that the handle is all the way to the left. Slowly move the arm so that the handle is all the way to the right, and then move the arm all the way back to the left again. If the screen doesn't auto-advance, repeat the movements a second time. Once the screen reads "The base sensor is correctly oriented", click "Continue to Waist Sensor".

4\. On the page "Orient The Waist Sensor", start with the arm centered and parallel to the ground, and then slowly move the arm so that the handle is all the way at the top. Move the handle back down so that the arm is again parallel to ground. If the screen doesn't auto-advance, repeat the movements a second time. Once the screen reads "Sensor Orientation Complete", click on "Exit Orientation". The unit is now oriented and ready for training.

If any sensor fails to orient upon movement, the Proteus app will give the option to advance without orienting, and will auto-notify the Proteus team about the individual sensor failure.
