Please note the following instructions: - We recommend using the **ring finger** of either hand. If you have any problems with signal detection, you can also use the index or middle finger. - Insert your finger until it stops against the tab at the end. Make sure that the tip of your finger properly covers the bottom window of the device.   | ![00\_Figura screen\_10 1](https://kw.glucube.com/hs-fs/hubfs/00_Figura%20screen_10%201.png?width=192&height=199&name=00_Figura%20screen_10%201.png) | ![00\_Figura screen\_11 (1) 1](https://kw.glucube.com/hs-fs/hubfs/00_Figura%20screen_11%20(1)%201.png?width=670&height=1008&name=00_Figura%20screen_11%20(1)%201.png) | ![00\_Figura screen\_13 1](https://kw.glucube.com/hs-fs/hubfs/00_Figura%20screen_13%201.png?width=670&height=1043&name=00_Figura%20screen_13%201.png) | | --- | --- | --- |   - The hand and finger should be relaxed.
