To be effective, the WAVE w10 must be used properly each and every time people are in or near the water. All swimmers, regardless of age or swimming ability, should be using WAVE wearables, and doing so should be considered as normal as wearing seat belts when in a car or wearing a helmet while cycling.

WAVE w10 MANAGEMENT APP The WAVE w10 Management App is a simple to us app that enables you to monitor the status of the Hub, wearables and other accessories.

Tracker’s ends outwards. It will return to its normal state after use. BUDDYTAGS™ BuddyTags are used by the w10 to detect when the wearer enters the water. They attach to clothing quickly, safely and securely using powerful magnets.
USING YOUR w10 UNDERSTANDING RANGE The w10 Hub has a typical wireless range of up to 150 feet when there is clear “Line of Sight” or simply LoS. In general terms that means there are no physical obstructions between the transmitting device (in this case, WAVE wearables) and the receiving device (in this case, the Hub).

TESTING THE w10 BEFORE USING In most instances where you decide to place your w10 out of convenience will likely work. However it may be necessary to relocate the unit to a better spot to insure complete coverage of the water. To confirm that you have selected an acceptable location it is necessary to perform the following simple test.
Page 22
If the system is moved repeat the above test until you are completely confident that the entire swim area is fully covered.
Occasionally inspect each wearable for signs of damage. Store the w10 in a dry location. Use the Wall Mount only if it is installed in a protected area. * Do not use ammonia based cleaning products as these may damage plastics over time.

If none of the above resolves the issue, the alerts may be because the system is detecting an active wearable that you may be unaware of. Use the w10 Management App to determine which, if any, wearables are appearing in the Dangerous Submersion Event page.
