How to wear your sun-a-wear sensor correctly
Your sun-a-wear sensor comes with several great wristbands and a clip that you can use to attach it to your clothing. It is important that it is worn in a location that is exposed to the sun. Only in this way can it reproduce the intensity of the sun's rays that really affects the wearer. Ideally, you attach the sun-a-wear sensor to a location that is maximally exposed to the sun.
The bracelet
The easiest way to wear your sun-a-wear sensor is to hit the snap bracelet on your wrist and bang - it holds. If your wrist is wider, it is advisable not to place the sensor in the middle of the bracelet. Slide it aside so that it is 2 to 4 inches from the end of the bracelet. This trick prevents the ends of the bracelet from pressing into the bottom of your wrist.
Important: Be careful when sliding the sensor onto or off the tape. Moving the sensor at the wrong angle can damage the tape. We recommend wiggling the sensor back and forth a little when pushing it.
The clip
Alternatively, you can attach your sun-a-wear sensor to your clothing or bag with the clip. To do this, pull the sensor off the bracelet, place the clip on the back of the sensor and screw it in counterclockwise. You can then attach the clip to a well exposed place (for example on the collar, on the hat or on the top of the backpack).
Important:
- Make sure that the sensor is not covered by clothing.
- Make sure the surface of the sensor is clean and that no sunscreen gets on the sensor. This can falsify the measurement. If the sensor is dirty, it can simply be washed off with soap and water.
- Be careful not to cover the sensor or turn it away from the sun for too long while you are in direct sunlight. The sensor and app use clever algorithms to figure out when the sensor is not directly exposed to the sun, but if the sun-a-wear is in the shade all the time, we have no chance of helping you properly.
