• One starbase round high-top table (40″³ high)
• One 4″² x 30″³ table

*Depengdin on the size of the show, ordering a 6″² table is better than the 4″².

• Many convention centers do not have carpet in the exhibition area; therefore, it is a good practice to order a carpet that is measured the same size as your booth.
• If the show is held at a hotel, you might be able to get away without ordering carpet.

• Some shows offer a lead retrieval device. This will help you keep track of potential sales leads, especially at a larger show.
• Smaller shows don’t always off this service. For these shows be sure to send an “I want more info” form.

*You can customize the form based on your needs.

• Order enough electricity to power all the equipment you plan to use, for US shows 5 amps, 500 watts should suffice.

*Remember you can bring your own surge protectors and extension cord.

• You can use a carrier you are familiar with, but often times its good practice to use the designated shipper for the show. They often guarantee shipment arrival times.
• Regardless of the shipment method you choose you will have to provide a material handling form along with any fees associated. This ensures your materials will be at your booth ready to be set up.

• If you plan on ordering anything from the show’s management
  company, you will have to submit a credit authorization form.

*Be sure to keep track of expenses, so that you are not over charged.

1. The file does not contain previous data with which to compare. By design, in order to generate analysis and comparison reports, there must be previous data (from separate days) in the file to compare to the current session.   If the current session is the first time tasks in a particular training mode were performed, then there will not be previous data with which to compare.
2. If no LFA tasks were previously recorded, then there is no data with which to compare for the Regular Training Comparison with First LFA.
3. Short Form Test tasks performed during the same session will not be adequate for comparison.  Only data recorded on separate days can be compared.

1. This is only an issue for international providers. The “Your locale (location)” setting of “Regional Options” of the operating system is defaulting to a location that supports a different date format than that required by the IM program (d/m/yyyy or dd/mm/yyyy). Change the “Your locale (location)” setting of the “Regional Options” of the operating system to a location that supports the date format required by the IM program.

1. Unplug the USB cable from the computer when the MCU is no longer in use. This will ensure that you get the optimum battery life from your batteries.

1. The battery life for the Interactive Metronome Button Trigger and Tap Mat Transmitter is approximately four weeks.
2. Please make sure to remove and discard the current battery, and install a new battery into the IM Sensors.
3. Battery size is CR2032.
4. Please use provided battery instructions for proper removal and insertion of the batteries.

1. Possibility One:
   1. The IM Sensors are running low on battery, and will soon need to be replaced.
2. Possibility Two:
   1. The Interactive Metronome MCU is placed on the desk in such a way that it is difficult for the wireless receiver to function properly.
   2. Please make sure that the MCU is not near the monitor of the computer or laptop, and is positioned towards the front with the lights facing the client.
3. Possibility Three:
   1. Specifically for a Button Trigger: Please make sure that the client is hitting the trigger as close to the center as possible. If the extreme edge of the Button Trigger is being hit, it may not register with
      the system.
   2. Specifically for Tap Mat:
      1. Please make sure that there is a solid surface underneath the Tap Mat.  Carpeting that is too plush will cause the Tap Mat to register sporadically.
      2. Please make sure that the Tap Mat is at an optimal position, which is at 45^o  from the MCU. The range for the Tap Mat Transmitter is approximately 15 feet, so this can be achieved by pulling back the Tap Mat until the desired angle is reached.

1. This is most commonly found with technique. The unique design of the Tap Mat allows for full pad sensitivity. It is accurate enough to detect the slightest roll in a person’s foot, even as they lift it off the pad. To avoid the double hit, the client must use a marching motion when stepping on the Tap Mat.  The client must come straight down on the pad, and lift their foot as quickly and straight up as they can.  This will
   reduce and/or eliminate the “double hits” altogether.

1. Please make sure your MCU has two blue lights displayed on the front.
   1. If you have a different set of colors for your MCU lights, please disconnect it from the USB, wait a few seconds, and reconnect it to your computer.
   2. If your MCU has no lights displayed, it is not receiving any power from the computer.  Please connect it to another USB port on the same computer, or connect it to another computer and test its functionality.

1. This is a buildup of static in the headphone jack of the MCU.  Follow these steps to remove the static.
   1. Remove the USB cable from the back of the MCU.
   2. Remove the headphone from the front of the MCU.
   3. Touch the metal tip of the headphone jack with your fingertips.
   4. Reconnect the headphones to the MCU.
   5. Reconnect the USB to the back of the MCU.
