We will now look at the different ways to hold your i.d. mate SUMMIT
®
. Each has
different benefits. The first way is to place your thumb in between the ridges on the
side and wrap your fingers around the back to the other side, positioning them
between the ridges.
The second way is to place your last 3 fingers in between the ridges on the front of the

you to take some time to explore the device to find a position that works and feels best
