This upper side of the clip is slightly larger and less round. Only use this side to grip the band.
Every FlipClip pair has a left and right component.
The logos engraved on each clip will show you which is which!
For TTF configuration:
The logos should be on the TOP with the bands around the sides.
For OTT configuration:
The logos should be on the OUTSIDE with the bands over the top.

Installation Instructions for the Original FlipClip™
Step 1.
Choose your preferred band configuration/orientation (OTT or TTF) and line up your FlipClips™ accordingly.

Place your band all the way into the FlipClip™ and press/pinch the FlipClip™ firmly to hold the band in place.
Step 4.
Tighten down the fastener. Do NOT over-tighten. The FlipClip is very strong and will hold when just hand tight.
