	For accurate readings, the pressure mat should NOT be placed under the mattress. Instead, place it under a mattress pad or blanket. It should be placed under the legs or feet of your loved one, somewhere where there is likely to be contact when your loved one is in bed. The sensor is attached by wires. Attach the sensor to the bed frame, being careful to place it where the wires won't tangle with ~~your loved one~~'s feet.<br /><br />		For accurate readings, the pressure mat should NOT be placed under the mattress.

	If you are using the sensor on a chair or couch, the pressure mat shouldn't be placed under a cushion. Instead, place the mat on top of the cushions, but cover it with a blanket or quilt for ~~your loved one~~'s comfort. The sensor can be tucked out of the way between the cushions.<br /><br />		If you are using the sensor on a chair or couch, the pressure mat shouldn't be placed under a cushion.

	Each vertical bar on the graph represents a 15-minute period. The higher the bar, the more activity detected in that 15-minute time slot. Note that there is a short bar, even when there is nobody in bed during that time period. If there is no bar at all for a time period that has passed, that is an indication that there is a problem with the sensor. In most cases, it means that the batteries need to be replaced on the sensor, something that is easily checked on the [[Battery Report\|Battery Report]]. For more serious issues, you can call your installer, or your support representative.<br /><br />		Each vertical bar on the graph represents a 15-minute period.

	The bed graph shows a full day's data (24 hours.) Some people prefer to view the graphs from noon of one day to noon of the next, with night in the middle of the graph, and an entire night visible on a single graph. Other people prefer the graphs to show a single calendar day, from midnight to midnight. You can choose between those two settings to display the graph the way you prefer.<br /><br />		The bed graph shows a full day's data (24 hours.)
