against your skin. Remove FreeHands Support and rub the adhesive in gentle circles to fix it to the sternum (fig. 12-14).
Reattach FreeHands Support by placing the ring over the Provox hands-free speaking valve and slide it to your left
into the locking mechanism while keeping the ring still (fig. 15).
