Label your tracker
For quick identification and wearing of each tracker, Excap provides stickers with positions. Each tracker is assigned a default pairing position upon first startup.
By clicking on the device card in Excap, you can attach the sticker to the corresponding tracker’s casing.
Installation and Wearing
Install the strap into the tracker; the wearing position is shown in the figure above.
- The tracker’s switch must be facing up.
- The tracker should be in front of your body.
- Make sure the tracker doesn’t slide on you as much as possible.
- 6/8 points mode are both supported, foots trackers are optional, if you do not need to move your ankles.
It is recommended that you try using the 6 point tracker first. Foot trackers are mounted about a quarter of the way down the inside of the foots.
