With a measuring tape, measure the largest circumference of the patient's head, that is, the most prominent part at the back of the head (occipital) and just above the eyebrows (supraorbital ridges).
Step 2 - choose the correct headband
According to the measured head circumference, choose between adult or pediatric single headband according to table 6.2.1-1. If you cannot find the desired size, follow procedure 6.2.2, with the extra tape provided
Step 3 - slide the headband through the sensor latches
If the external battery is installed, remove it by pressing the side buttons pulling upwards as shown in Figure 6.2.1-2.
