7.1 Connected (Live Sync)

When connected to the Heidi App:

  • Transcribing syncs in real time
  • Device and app controls remain synchronized

7.2 Disconnected

If connection is interrupted:

  • Transcribing continues in offline mode

7.5 Syncing (with USB Transfer Mode on Desktop)

When connected via USB-C to a Windows or macOS computer, Heidi Remote transfers session data to the Heidi desktop app significantly faster than Bluetooth or Wi-Fi — especially useful for large recordings or busy clinical workflows.

Enable USB Transfer Mode

USB transfer mode is disabled by default. To enable it:

  1. Install the latest Heidi desktop app (Windows or macOS).
  2. Power on Heidi Remote and connect it to the desktop app.
  3. Enable USB syncing using one of the following methods:
    1. Option A — From Device Settings: Go to Settings → Devices → Turn on USB-C upload and toggle it ON.
    2. Option B — From the sync widget: Open the syncing widget in the bottom-right corner of the Heidi desktop app, click the expand icon, then click Switch to USB-C.
  4. Connect Heidi Remote to your computer using a USB-C cable. Syncing begins automatically once sessions are available.

Note: Some organizations restrict USB devices via IT security policies. If USB sync does not work, contact your IT team and ask them to allow Heidi Remote for USB-C use with the Heidi desktop app.

8. Device Removal & Reassignment

This section explains how to remove your Heidi Remote from your account and prepare it for use with another account.

8.1 Remove Device via the App (Recommended)

Use this method to safely unpair your device through the Heidi App. This helps ensure a clean disconnection while preserving your data.

Before you begin: Ensure all transcripts have been synced to the app.

To remove the device:

  1. Open the Heidi App and navigate to device settings.
  2. Select Remove Device. The app will automatically check for unsynced transcripts.
  3. If unsynced sessions are found, follow the on-screen prompts to sync them before proceeding.

Once confirmed, the system will:

  • Unlink the device from your Heidi account
  • Delete local data on your Heidi Remote
  • Removes the wireless binding from the device

The device will then return to an unbound state, ready to pair with a new account.

8.2 Perform a Factory Reset

Use this method to reset the device hardware itself.

Note: If you perform a physical reset without first removing the device via the app, the device will still appear in your Heidi App account. To fully reassign the device, the original user must remove it from their account using the method in section 9.1.

To reset your device:

  1. With the device powered on, quickly press the Power button 3 times.
  2. The LED indicator will flash white rapidly, confirming the reset program has started.
  3. To confirm and complete the reset: Press and hold the Power button for 2 seconds during the light flashing.

What this reset does:

  • Delete local data on your Heidi Remote
  • Removes the wireless binding from the device

9. Charging & Battery

  • Use 5V / 500–1000mA adapter
  • Do not use fast charging adapters
  • The device can be used while charging
  • Low Battery: The LED blinks yellow when you start or save a transcript. This indicates the battery may not support another full session. Charge the device before your next session.

9.1 Auto Power-Off

When Heidi Remote is on standby (solid white LED) and disconnected from the Heidi App, the device will automatically power off after 5 minutes to preserve battery life.

What are the Disconnected states?

The device is considered disconnected when any of the following apply:

  • Heidi Mobile or Desktop App is closed
  • Heidi Remote is out of Bluetooth range
  • Bluetooth is turned off in your device settings

The auto power-off timer does not run while the device is actively transcribing or charging.
