Troubleshooting
Device feels insecure on the strap
Ensure the 1.5mm cord is threaded through the device's connection point correctly and pulled snug. Check for any fraying on the cord.
Quick disconnect is stiff or difficult to operate
Gently clean the quick-disconnect parts with a dry cloth. Avoid using lubricants, as they can attract dirt. If damage is suspected, contact customer support.
Strap feels too short

The wrist loop is too loose or too tight
Adjust the slide mechanism on the wrist loop for a comfortable and secure fit. Ensure it's not constricting blood flow but also won't slip off.
