UNDERSTANDING WHERE TO PLACE THE w10 HUB
The recommended placement of the w10 should be above the ground at a minimum
height of 3 feet or more and on a secure flat surface such as a tabletop, or mounted in
the included Wall Mount.
There should be no physical obstructions such as concrete walls, dense
vegetation, stone, or metal in front of the Hub.
IMPORTANT. Do not subject the w10 Hub to direct water spray or submerge it
in water. Move the unit inside or under cover
during extreme or inclement
weather.
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.
IMPORTANT. Always perform this test when using the w10 for the first time
at a new, recently renovated or modified swim area. Always make sure that you are
testing with ENABLED wearables (see MANAGING WEARABLES).
1.
(Optional) Use the WAVE w10 Management App to select settings for this test such
as lowering the volume of the speaker or reducing the
maximum time selected for
Dangerous Submersion Alerts
. Remember to change the settings back after the
test.
2.
With the system on, walk (or swim) to different areas in the water and completely
submerge the enabled wearable into the water until a Dangerous Submersion Alert
is seen or heard.
3.
Continue this process until all general areas of the water are tested.
NOTE: Although generally not necessary, a more thorough test is swimming back
and forth from end to end to cover the entire swim area, similar to mowing a lawn.
