Made from neoprene, the elastic belt is effortless to put on. Users activate the device via a power button on the front. Coloured LEDs and audio feedback provide information on the measurement status. Measured data is transmitted to the NORM companion app. With its compact design, the device can also be used on the go. A soft-touch carry case ensures safe storage.
