Introduction
Overview
Thank you for using the Wavelet Wristband and Pod!
This user manual will help you get started using your new devices.
Your Wavelet Wristband and Pod track all of your daily activity. The Wristband
records your steps, sleep, calories burned, heart rate, and blood oxygen
saturation among other metrics. The Pod is useful for tracking activity and can
be used in conjunction with the Wristband for full-body motion analysis.
This collected information will be available to you on your mobile device and a
more detailed analysis will be relayed to your doctor and/or study coordinator.
They will use this information to understand your body’s overall wellbeing.

What’s in the box
Your package should include the following items. You will need all of these items to
set up and use your devices.

Getting Started
This section will guide you through all of the steps necessary to start using your
Wavelet Wristband and Pod.
2
Charging the Wristband and Pod
Before using your devices you will need to fully
charge them and update their firmware.
Plug in your charger to a powered USB port.
The LEDs should light up white. Place the
Wristband in the slot towards the back of the
charger as shown in the illustration below, and
the Pod in the slot towards the front of the
charger with the Wavelet logo facing UP. The
white lights on the charger will turn orange
next to each device when charging properly.
Each LED will blink or remain white if not
charging properly or if the device is not placed
properly.
Your devices requires about 90 minutes to fully
charge their lithium-polymer batteries. Once
fully charged, the LEDs on the charger will
change back to white. It is recommended to
fully charge your device as you finish the rest
of the setup process. With normal use, your
Wristband should last about four days on a
single charge, while your Pod should last about
5 days, both depending on use.

App Compatibility
The Wavelet app is your link to the Wavelet devices. Use it to interact with your
Wristband and Pod, transfer data, and see your analyzed data.
You will need a compatible mobile device to use the Wavelet devices. Download
the app on your iOS or Android mobile device; it will guide you through the
setup process and help you connect to your Wristband.
Note that you will need an account with the applicable store to download even a
free app such as Wavelet. You will need your apple ID to download from the App
Store, and your Google ID to download from the Google Play Store.
To connect with you Wristband, you must turn on Bluetooth on your mobile
device. This setting can be found in your mobile device’s settings.
You may be asked to set up a profile including your height, and weight. Or you
may be asked to input a code provided by your study administrator. Any private
information is kept completely private and stored on a secure server. These
measurements are helpful for getting the most out of the Wavelet devices. If
provided, your height, weight, gender, and age will be used to calculate your
BMR, or calories burned.

The Wavelet Wristband and Pod are compatible
with select iOS and Android devices, including:
iOS – iPhone 4s, 5, 5c, 5s, 6, 6+, 6s, 6s+, iPod

Using the Devices
Wearing your Wristband properly is critical to getting reliable data. When worn
properly, both of the teeth on the clasp should engage with the Wristband fully.
The device should sit above the wrist bone (towards the elbow) as illustrated
below. The sensor unit inside the Wristband should sit snug against the skin so
the sensors can get an accurate heart reading. The most comfortable fit is often
achieved by securing the device with some slack and then sliding it up (towards
your elbow) until it is snug.
5
Wearing the Wristband Properly
The shoe clip is directional. Place the
shoe clip harness beneath several
rows of laces so the single bar is visible
as shown above.

damp cloth is suicient to clean both devices. Do not use alcohol, harsh
chemicals, or solvents on the device.

It is, however, recommended to remove the wristband periodically so your skin
can have a break.

automatically update the devices’ firmware. To update the firmware manually,
enable the Bluetooth on your mobile device and find your devices your profile
page. Select your device and tap “update firmware” and the firmware will

Syncing the Wristband and Pod
The Wavelet App: Overview
The Wavelet Wristband tracks the following activities, and depending on your
specific situation may include others:
The Wavelet app is the link to your Wristband and Pod. All data captured on the
on these devices must be transferred to your smart device for processing and
viewing the gathered information.
It is important to sync your data to your mobile device often. Syncing occurs
when you are near your mobile device that has bluetooth turned on and the
Wavelet app is either open or running in the background. The app will
automatically sync with your device periodically when these conditions are met.
The more often your device is sync’d, the quicker each sync will be. To sync
manually, pull down on the Dashboard page or select your device on the Profile
page and tap “sync now”.
