single patient use.

Position the belt around the abdomen, just above the navel.
Ensure the belt is snug. If the belt is too loose, tighten it by spinning
the buckle around so that the two clips are at the sides. Lift the
fastener on one side and pull the clips away from each other to
tighten then close the fastener to secure the belt. Move the buckle
around to the front again.
Snap the two blue cable connectors of the Sensor Cable to the
buttons on either side of the buckle.
Insert the other end of the Sensor Cable into the Recorder’s Effort
Belt port.
The Effort Belt icon on the Tablet should turn green to indicate a
proper connection.
Rotate the belt to one side so the buckle is out of the way, and clip
the Recorder to the belt, just over the navel.

The Effort Belt should be worn over night clothes and should
not move when in place. It should be pre-sized to ensure a
comfortable and snug fit.
