Your sun-a-wear sensor comes with several great wristbands and a clip to attach it to your clothing. It is important that it is worn in a place that is exposed to the sun. Only in this way can it reflect the intensity of the sun's rays that really affects the wearer. Ideally, you should attach the sun-a-wear sensor to a spot that has maximum exposure to the sun.
The bracelet
The easiest way to wear your sun-a-wear sensor is to slap the snap bracelet onto your wrist and bang - it's in place. If your wrist is wider, it is advisable not to place the sensor in the middle of the bracelet. Move it to the side so that it is 5 to 10 cm from the end of the bracelet. This trick keeps the ends of the bracelet from digging into the bottom of your wrist.
Important: Be careful when pushing or pulling the sensor onto the band. Moving the sensor at the wrong angle can damage the tape. We recommend wiggling the sensor back and forth a little when pushing.
The clip
Alternatively, you can use the clip to attach your sun-a-wear sensor to your clothing or bag. To do this, pull the sensor from the wristband, place the clip on the back of the sensor and turn it counterclockwise. You can then attach the clip to a well-exposed spot (e.g. on the collar, on the hat or on top of the backpack).
Important:
- Make sure that the sensor is not covered by clothing.
- Make sure that 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 for too long or face it away from the sun while you are in direct sun exposure. While the sensor and app use clever algorithms to figure out when the sensor isn't directly exposed to the sun, if sun-a-wear is in the shade all the time, we don't have a chance to properly assist you.
