Directions for Putting on Timing Chip Band
- Place the band on ankle with words “Swim, Bike, Run” showing Face Up.
- Place the gap between the foam tags at the center of the ankle. Make sure one foam spacer is located on the right side of the ankle and the other on the left side of the ankle – Per photo #1.
- Adjust and attach the Band by inserting two fingers to create space between the ankle and the Band – Per photo #2.
- Be sure your hands are completely clean so as not to affect the adhesive with sunscreen, Vaseline etc.
- For the timing Band to work properly, it must be on the outside of all clothing. Do not cover with wetsuit.
- A backup timing chip is behind your Race Number. It is very important not to remove it.
