Parameters and process for engaging and disengaging tap-to-mute
When you tap the wristband with an open palm twice in a row, the wristband will enter a mute state for 1 hour. This means that the wristbands will not provide any alerts when you near energised equipment.
You will not be able tap-to-mute if the wristband is actively alerting, and you must move away from the energised source to proceed with tap-to-mute. At the end of 1 hour, the wristband will automatically unmute. If unmuting is required before the end of the hour, you can tap twice with an open palm to unmute
After muting or unmuting, the wristband will prevent you from changing states for 3 seconds. This means that after muting you must wait before unmuting again.
The taps are relatively light - tapping with the palm of your hand (as opposed to fingers) can help control the force.

The wristband can also be muted and unmuted using the mobile app
