# Getting Started: Wearing and Fitting Your Hexoskin Shirt

## How to prepare sensors, put on the shirt, and adjust for the best signal

### **1. Apply Cream**

- Unzip the shirt and lay it flat on a surface.
- Apply a **pea-sized amount** of conductive cream to the **4 bronze patches** inside the shirt.

**Note:** Do not rub it in; leave the dollop on the patch.

### **2. Put On & Zip**

- Remove upper body clothing (including bras).
- Put on the shirt and zip it up.
- **Women:** If you need support, wear your bra **over** the Hexoskin shirt. Never underneath.

### **3. Adjust**

- Tighten the two elastic belts (chest and belly button) until snug.
- The sensors must press firmly against your skin, but the shirt should not restrict your breathing nor your movements.
