How to Hold the Hand Bar (Applicable to iGrip series only)
iGrip1 (Upper/Lower Long Rod Electrodes)
a.
Hold the hand bar with the L/R marks facing upward, and place your thumbs pointing downward.
b.
Position your thumbs sideways so the entire fingerprint is evenly in contact with the electrode. Ensure the other fingers also make uniform contact with the electrode surface.
*If you grip it too tightly, like making a fist, the measurement may fail.
iGrip1_FR302 (Upper Long Rod Electrode + Lower Small Thumb Electrode)
a.
Hold the hand bar with the L/R marks facing downward, and place your thumbs pointing downward.
b.
Position your thumbs sideways so the entire fingerprint is evenly in contact with the electrode. Ensure the other four fingers also make uniform contact with the electrode surface.
*If you grip it too tightly, like making a fist, the measurement may fail.
iGrip2, iGripX
a.
Hold the hand bar with the L/R marks facing downward, and place your thumbs pointing downward.
b.
Place your thumbs so that the entire fingerprint is evenly in contact with the front triangular electrode, applying pressure mainly through the center of the thumb.

Ensure the other four fingers are also uniformly in contact with the electrode surface using the entire fingerprint.
*If the thumb touches only part of the triangular electrode (e.g., only the lower side) or if the fingers make slanted contact, poor contact may cause the measurement to fail.
