Assembly Instructions:

The Thylus makes use of patented technology to allow small adjustments to the size of the rubber ring to accommodate multiple users with different sized thumbs and fingers.  After adjustment, the rubber bead ring fits between the two plastic discs which, when fastened, utilize the bead to hold the rubber ring in place.

ADJUSTING THE RUBBER BEAD RING:

  1.  Hold one end of the rubber bead ring with between your index finger and the inside of the thumb on your dominant hand.
    (Note: it’s a good idea to start at the area of your thumb with the widest diameter.  After adjustment, you can always make the ring shorter, never longer)

  2. Wrap the ring around your thumb to meet together at your index finger.

  3. Mark the bead in the middle of the rubber ring which is closest to the area where the two meet.

  4. Cut the rubber bead ring at this bead, being careful to cut so that a bead remains at each end of the rubber ring.

 FITTING THE RUBBER RING INTO THE THYLUS:

  1. Place the plastic discs together.  Line up the “male” and “female” connections of the discs.  Do not squeeze the two plastic discs together!!

  2. The two pieces should toggle back and forth.  Place one end of the adjusted rubber bead ring between the two discs and pinch the disc together to hold the rubber ring. The two beads at the end should fit snugly into the space created for the two beads where the discs fit together.

  3. While pinching the two discs together over one end of the rubber bead ring, wrap the other end to the opposite side.  Place the other end of the adjusted rubber bead ring between the two discs. The two beads at the end should fit snugly into the space created for the two beads where the discs fit together.  Make sure the beads line up on both sides
  4. Snap the plastic discs together while insuring that the bead at each end of the rubber ring fits snugly between into the space created between the two discs.  Note: if the two plastic pieces down snap together snugly, adjust the beads so that they line up with the space for the beads to fit between the discs.

ADJUSTING THE THYLUS:

The Thylus is made with an adjustable beaded ring.  Over time, as the Thylus is used, the rubber beaded ring will stretch, potentially causing it to become loose.

  1.  With a fingernail or similar thin instrument (a butter knife or letter opener), gently pry the two plastic discs apart.  The rubber beaded ring should fall out very easily.

  2. Next, with a pair of scissors,  cut one beaded ring off.  Make sure that you cut the line between the beads as well and leave a bead at the end of the rubber ring.

  3. Place the two discs together by lining up the holes with the two plugs.  Be careful not to press them firmly together yet.  Re-attach one side of the beaded ring into the space provided between the two discs and squeeze that side together.

  4. Reach the other side of the beaded ring around to the other side and place it into the other space provided between the two discs.

  5. Squeeze the two discs together and the Thylus should snap firmly in place.  If the fit is not firm, you probably need to adjust the beaded ring to get it to fit snugly into the space provided.

WARNING: THE THYLUS IS NOT MEANT TO BE USED WHILE DRIVING AN AUTOMOBILE.
