Getting Started With Your Replacement from Dharma Dr.

Your replacement Tab is ready to help you reduce stress, increase focus, and improve sleep. Follow the steps below to charge the Tab, perform a factory reset, and pair it with the Dharma Dr. parts you already own.

1  Inspect & Unbox

1. Confirm the package contains:
   • 1× Replacement Dharma Dr. Tab, Charging Case.
2. Check the replacement. If you any damage from shipping, stop and contact support.
3. If you receive a new case it does not need to be paired or reset, the tabs can just be put in the new case.

2  Charge the Replacement Tab

1. Place the Tab into the charging case. A flashing yellow LED on the case means it’s charging and below 90 %.
2. Plug the USB-C cable into a 5 V wall charger or powered USB port. Charge until the case LED shows solid white (100 %).
3. Let the Tab reach room temperature before use (ideal: 68-77 °F / 20-25 °C).

3  Factory Reset (Required for Pairing)

Factory-resetting both Tabs clears old bonds so they pair cleanly.

1. Insert both Tabs into the case and open the lid.
2. Press & hold the small button on each Tab in the case for 10 seconds then release and both Tabs begin flashing red.
   (Flashing red = Factory-Reset Mode)
3. Press the button once on the Tab with ~ symbol on the back. The LEDs should now pulse white, indicating they’re ready to pair once solid white.

4  Pair in the Dharma Dr. App

1. On your phone, open the Dharma Dr. app (update to the latest version).
2. Pairing should pop up
3. Wait for the in-app confirmation “Tab Paired ✓”. 

5  Test Your Tabs

1. Gently remove both Tabs, place them in hands, and start a quick 60-second session.
2. If you feel normal pulses, you’re good to go!
