How to adjust the wrist strap
The wrist strap will be attached to the middle of your Rotater when it arrives. Please remove it and note that it is a two-sided piece of velcro. One side is the hook side (stiff and uncomfortable) while the other side is the loop side (soft and comfortable).

Next, you will insert the strap through the slot in the Rotater that most closely matches your arm height. To determine which slot to use, place your elbow into the 90° formed by the Rotater – the slot that matches your wrist height is the slot that you should place the wrist strap through.
The second slot from the end is the one that is most often used. Approximately 85% of all Rotater owners will use this slot. Those people with longer arms will use the first slot and those with shorter arms will use the third slot. Again, please make sure that the soft side of the strap will be against your skin.
Now you simply form a loop – attaching the hook and loop sides of the strap together.

NOTE: Please make sure the loop is loose enough so that your hand slips in and out easily. It should not be tight or difficult to insert and remove your hand.
