Wear your Metria IH1 on the back of the upper left arm,
triceps. To work properly, the Metria logo on the device must
read upright and the stainless steel sensors on the underside
of the device need to be in contact with your skin. Metria IH1
is designed for use in a HORIZONTAL position across the left
upper arm.

moisturizer, or oils in the intended
wear area for 24 hours prior to
applying Metria IH1.
b) Locate the back of your upper
left arm where you will apply the

Chapter 8: Frequently Asked Questions
Can I wear the product in the shower or the pool?
Metria IH1 is water resistant and can be worn in the shower.
However, we do not recommend that it be worn in the pool or
other bodies of water where the device is submerged.
Do I have to wear the product for the full 7 days?
Metria IH1 will record sensor readings for 7 days after it is
turned on. You may remove the device after fewer than 7 days,
but it will only collect accurate data when it is worn properly.
Will I feel anything different in the area that I placed the
product?
Occasionally, during the wear-time, you may feel a gentle
“tingly” sensation in the wear area. This may happen during
very humid days, especially when there is large amount of
body sweat. This is considered normal.
How can I check to make sure the product is working and can I
activate it twice?
If you’d like to double check to make sure that it is working,
press the raised center area again for a second. Please refer
to the image on Chapter 3, Section 2. If the green light flashed
once, the device is working properly. If the green light flashes
twice, the device has stopped collecting data and should be
removed. Complete the Metria IH1 experience by syncing and
viewing your data. It is not possible to activate it twice.
Can I take it off and put it back on?
We don’t recommend you remove the product and reapply it.
The adhesive will become less sticky and may come off from
your skin.
How can I optimize wear time? Can I start exercising right after
wearing the product?
It is recommended that you do not exercise for a few hours. It is
highly recommended to wear the product right before you to
go sleep to enable complete adhesion to your skin.
How to care for the Metria IH1:
a) Avoid contacting the product with ancillary equipment such
as exercise machine and music player arm bands, as it may
increase likeliness of damaging the product.
b) Avoid direct contact with soap, shampoo and moisturizer
as well as any other similar products, such as wash cloths,
poufs, etc.
c) When drying off after a shower, gently pat the product in
order to dry. Avoid rubbing over the product with a towel.
d) After exiting the shower, gently press down the device from
the center toward outward direction to assist in drying.
e) Avoid applying direct heat to the product, such as with a hair
dr yer.
f) Be careful when dressing and undressing. Gently lift clothing
over the product to avoid unnecessary contact.
g) Submerging the product for under water activity (e.g.
swimming and bathing) for more than 30 consecutive
minutes will reduce its performance. Avoid any submersion
in water while product is in use.
Is it normal to have some edges to lift up during wear?
The edges of the product may lift during normal 7-day wear.
This is considered normal and will not affect functionality of the
product.
