===Failure to detect wrist===
 +
TeltoHeart detects the wrist using light-based sensors (photoplethysmography), which measure blood
 +
volume changes beneath the skin by emitting and detecting light. Additionally, electrode leads in direct
 +
contact with the skin detect electrical signals generated by the heart, confirming the presence of the
 +
wrist. To ensure proper wrist detection:<br>
 +
1. '''Ensure Secure Fit:''' Properly secure TeltoHeart around the lower arm, just above the wrist
 +
bone, as illustrated in the user manual. A snug fit enhances the efficiency of both sensor
 +
types.<br>
 +
2. '''Check for Hairiness:''' Excessive hair on the wrist may hinder the performance of optical
 +
sensors. Ensure the skin beneath the device is free from obstructions for accurate
 +
readings.<br>
 +
3. '''Assess Skin Contact:''' Anything obstructing direct skin contact, such as clothing or
 +
accessories, can impact sensor functionality. Confirm unobstructed contact for optimal
 +
wrist detection.<br>
 +
4. '''Verify Device Positioning:''' Wear the device approximately 1 cm above your wrist bone.
 +
Incorrect positioning may disrupt the alignment of sensors with the skin, affecting the
 +
accuracy of detection.
