DCO-00245
1. Place the device on your wrist next to your wrist bone (if it's on your wrist bone, you won't get accurate
readings).
2. Keep the lighted sensor on the back of the device in close contact with your skin.
3. Secure the band that comes with the device around your wrist for a snug fit.
Tips for wearing the device:
The band shouldn't be so tight that it's uncomfortable, but it does need to have good contact with your skin with
little movement for the sensors to work well.
If the device is making your skin irritated, take the device off and contact us.
Keep the device clean and dry.
Let your skin breath by not wearing the device for more than 23 hours a day.
