*In a scenario where the battery and faceplate have been in use on the current bracelet for less than 30 days, you are able to reinstall those components. In that case, you would not select the Battery, Faceplate and Exhaust Cap Replaced check box on the Maintenance window referenced in step one. The faceplate is designed for single client use only, with a maximum of two installations on the bracelet. After two installations, the retaining tabs are weakened and may not seal properly causing moisture to enter the bracelet body.
