INSTALLATION & CARE INSTRUCTIONS – APPLYING A SILLY PATCHBODY HEAT AND PUSHING DOWN AND HOLDING AND APPLYING PRESSURE IS IMPORTANT WHILE APPLYING A SILLY PATCH TO CURE THE ADHESIVE A BLOW DRYER WILL HELP
LET’S GET STARTED.
FIRST STEP WHEN APPLYING YOUR NEW SILLY PATCH IS LOOKING FOR A LOCATION TO GET GOOD COVERAGE BOTH ON THE DEVICE AND THE SURROUNDING SKIN AREAS. ALSO LOOK FOR AN AREA THAT DOES NOT MOVE OR TWIST A LOT. THIS WILL ALLOW THE PATCH TO BE IN THE BEST POSITION FOR SECURING THE DEVICE TO YOUR BODY. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO LOCATE THE DEVICE “WINDOW” PRIOR TO DEVICE PLACEMENT AND PATCH PLACEMENT. ROTATE THE DEVICE PRIOR TO INSTALLATION TO ENSURE PATCH IS FACING THE CORRECT DIRECTION.
TO PLACE A PATCH
STEP 1: DETERMINE THE BEST ORIENTATION (DIRECTION) OF THE PATCH TO GIVE YOU THE MAXIMUM SKIN COVERAGE, BASED ON THE PLACEMENT OF YOUR DEVICE
STEP 2: PEEL THE TAPE BACKING OFF THE BACK OF THE PATCH TO THE POINT WHERE THE DEVICE “WINDOW” IS VISIBLE, AND YOU HAVE ENOUGH AREA SO THAT YOU CAN SEE THE DEVICE AND TARGET PLACEMENT SITE. IF YOU TEAR THE BACKING, FOLD THE TEAR EDGE BACK SO IT DOES NOT STICK.
STEP 3: USING THE DEVICE WINDOW TO CENTER PATCH, PLACE THE PATCH CENTERED OVER THE DEVICE.
CURE THE ADHESIVE
STEP 4: PRESS THE PATCH TO THE SKIN AND HOLD WHILE YOU REMOVE THE REMAINDER OF THE BACKING, ALIGN PATCH AS YOU GO. PRESS DOWN ON THE ENTIRE PATCH AREA. TRY NOT TO STRETCH THE TAPE TOO MUCH BEFORE IT FULLY ADHERES. PUSH AND HOLD AS THE ADHESIVE NEEDS BODY HEAT TO ACTIVATE AND CURE.
PLEASE NOTE THE ADHESIVE IS PRESSURE SENSITIVE. IT USES BODY TEMP TO CURE THE ADHESIVE. APPLYING PRESSURE DOWN WHILE HOLDING. ALSO WARM AIR HELPS CURE THE ADHESIVE. IT MAY HELP TO HEAT SKIN AREA AND OR PATCH AREA, LIGHTLY WITH A BLOW DRYER BEFORE PLACEMENT OF PATCH AND AFTER PLACEMENT TO HELP CURE THE ADHESIVE FASTER. (DO NOT OVER DO IT WITH THE HEAT). THE ADHESIVE NEEDS TO CURE TO THE PATCH MATERIAL TOO. IT IS AMAZING WHAT A LITTLE WARMTH CAN DO. PUSH AND HOLD!!
STEP 5: HELP! THE PATCH FOLDED ONTO ITSELF. OK CALM DOWN, THE ADHESIVE WILL NOT SET IMMEDIATELY, AND YOU DO HAVE TIME TO STRETCH IT OUT AND REPOSITION THE PATCH ON YOUR SKIN. TRY NOT TO STRETCH THE TAPE TOO MUCH AS IT MAY WRINKLE.
STEP 6: REMEMBER IT IS PRESSURE SENSITIVE SO PUSH ALL EDGES DOWN. OKAY, NOW WAIT A FEW HOURS TO ALLOW THE ADHESIVE TO CURE BEFORE STARTING ACTIVITIES! HEAT FROM A HAIR DRYER WILL HELP SET THE INITIAL ADHESION FASTER. BE CAREFUL THOUGH.
STEP 7: FINISH THE DESIGN. THERE WAS A CUTOUT WINDOW FOR THE DEVICE. PLACE THE CUT OUT TAPE OVER THE TRANSMITTER IN THE CORRECT ORIENTATION TO COMPLETE YOUR COOL DESIGN.
DAILY CARE OF YOUR PATCH IS NECESSARY TO HELP MAINTAIN A GOOD-LOOKING PATCH. AFTER THE PATCH ADHESIVE HAS CURED YOU CAN GET ACTIVE AND MOVE AROUND. WHILE A SHOWER OR WATER ACTIVITIES SHOULD WAIT UNTIL PATCH IS CURED. PLEASE PUSH DOWN THE PATCH EDGES AND SURROUNDING AREAS. TRY NOT TO WIPE AGAINST THE PATCH WITH YOUR TOWEL TOO MUCH. PATTING DOWN IS BETTER THAN RUBBING TOO HARD. APPLYING SOAP OR SHAMPOO IN THE SHOWER WILL HELP KEEP THE PATCH LESS DIRTY AND DINGY LOOKING AFTER LONG USE TO HELP CURE THE ADHESIVE.TO REMOVE A PATCHOUR PRODUCT WAS DESIGNED TO STAY IN PLACE FOR A WEEK OR IF POSSIBLE LONGER, BUT EASY TO REMOVE. TO REMOVE START IN THE CENTER AND JUST PULL UP AT AN ANGLE AND TEAR OFF WHILE TRYING NOT TO PULL UP SENSOR TAPE ADHESION. WATER RESISTANT AND STRETCHABLE SO THERE MAY BE SOME LEFTOVER ADHESION ON YOUR SKIN AFTER REMOVAL. LOTIONS, OILS AND HAND SANITIZER WITH SOME RUBBING ACTION WILL REMOVE ANY EXTRA ADHESIVE.REMEMBER TO PUT A NEW PATCH ON AS NEEDED TO HELP YOUR SENSOR LAST LONGER, LOOK COOLER AND STAY SECURED IN PLACE SO YOU CAN DO MORE SENSOR RESTARTS AND SAVE MONEY!
