This document focuses on the use of Episurveyor in the field and does not contain instructions on how to complete LQAS in the field. This manual is arranged sequentially, from accessing a saved form on the mobile phone to completion of the form and uploading of data to the central server. Technological requirementsEpisurveyor-compatible mobile telephones preloaded with Episurveyor application and pertinent LQAS formsLocal SIM cards with enough credit to send surveys from the fieldMobile PhonesPhones provided to field staff should have Episurveyor already installed and the forms that are to be used loaded into the application. Surveyors should not need to load forms. This manual is to be used with an Android operating system-based smart phone. As of March 19, 2012, WHO has been using the Samsung Mini Galaxy for mobile LQAS completion. Below is the Samsung Mini Galaxy. Other Samsung models might be used in the future, but the basic functions of the Android system are similar, if not identical.2286000762000HOME00HOME34290002019300BACK00BACK8001002019300MENU00MENU22860001104900003086100190500000683895190500000The phone's "HOME" button is used to get back to the main screen of your mobile telephone from any application. Home screens are customizable, but most should appear as a list of commonly-used applications and icons that link to settings, address book, and telephone. The phone's "MENU" button is used to access menus for settings, etc. within applications that are in use. This button is often useful for logging-out of applications. The phone's "BACK" button is used to go back one page or one screen from that which is currently in use. In Episurveyor, if you want to leave a survey, you can hit the "BACK" button. Field staff should not be required to log-out of the program, but if necessary, click the menu button of your phone, and at the bottom of the screen, the choice to "log-out" should appear. Click that option to log-out of the program. To exit Episurveyor, click your phone's HOME button.DO NOT PRESS THE HOME BUTTON WHILE FILLING OUT A SURVEY.
