3. Insert  the Play Attention interface box into the BodyWave armband sleeve.

4. Connect the blue armband cable to the front of the interface box.

14. Logout from the top right corner of  Play Attention screen.

15. BEFORE removing the armband, press the red button on the front of the Play Attention interface box, hold for 2-3 seconds, and let go. The light should then turn OFF. DO NOT remove the armband while the interface is still ON.
