| QuitmateME™ Usage Instructions.
Important Note:
Quitmate Ltd provides this software as an aid to help with quitting smoking.
Before attempting to give up cigarettes, please consult with your doctor.
Introduction
Record and understand the number of cigarettes which you smoke by selecting the 'Smoke' option from the menu. The reports Monthly, Daily, Hourly and AM/PM are provided help you understand your smoking patterns and encourage/motivate you to cut down on your smoking levels.
The QuitmateME™ software will set you time based targets which you should try
to exceed in order to reduce the number of cigarettes which you smoke.
Exceeding the targets by just 5 minutes will cause a 20 a day smoker to cut
down to 9 a day after 10 days of use!
The Preferences screen enables you to enter the price (in pence) of a packet of
cigarettes. This price will be use to calculate how much you have spent/saved
since you have been using your QuitmateME™.
The Reports
 The Trend report shows the number of cigarettes you have been smoking per day for the last 30 days.
The Daily report shows the number of cigarettes you have smoked by day of the week (Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat).
The Hourly report shows a breakdown of the cigarettes you have smoked by hour of the day, this report is designed to help you understand your smoking patterns.
The AM/PM report is provided to show how many cigarettes you smoke in the morning and afternoon.
The QuitStats™ report shows summary information about your smoking, along with showing you the cost of your habit. The cost is calcualted using the cost of a packet of cigarettes defined in the Preferences screen.
Examples of the Report Screens
The main screen provides information about your current targets and smoking
levels. On the first day of use, you should smoke normally, the device will
learn your behaviour and use this information to set targets for the next day.
From day 2 onwards you will be shown a target, which you should try to exceed
and a countdown which shows how long you have to wait until you reach the
target. The bottom 2 numbers on the main screen show how many cigarettes you
have smoked today (left) and yesterday (right).
The main screen also includes a status icon (bottom centre) which shows your
progress for the current day. The status icon has five states representing:
 You have not smoked at all today.
 You have smoked, but beaten all your targets.
 You have not hit all your targets, but you have smoked less than yesterday.
 You have smoked the same amount as yesterday.
 You have smoked more than yesterday.
The beating heart  and cross  symbols also show your progress. The heart will continue beating whilst you have smoked less than yesterday. If you exceed the number smoked yesterday you will see the cross symbol.
To reset all data and set back to defaults you should select the Reset option from the Settings menu. Note: Reset is not available on the trial version.
