Wristband Tag Manual
4 Tag Mounting Techniques
The tag is carried as every standard wristwatch.
The band should not be too loose.
This avoids that the tag slides down over the wrist and prevents possible injury.
For maximum convenience put the end of the wristband under the loop.
Now adjust the loop to avoid too much of the band to stick out.

5 Maintenance
5.1 General
In principle, the ILR system is maintenance-free. When correctly installed it operates for many years without
any problems.
5.2 Precautionary Maintenance
Regular checking to the system is recommended. Make sure that the housing of the tag has no damage. If
there are any damages as holes or cracks, the tags should be replaced and returned to IDENTEC
SOLUTIONS immediately.
Regular checking of all ports and cables belonging to the system is recommended. Unstable connections could
lead to damage and malfunctions of the system and therefore should be repaired as soon as possible.
