Do I need a smartphone or tablet to use the Wave 2? Do I need to download the Wave 2 app?Updated 10 months ago
While it's not strictly necessary to download the Wave 2 app, the companion mobile app lets you keep your device updated with the latest firmware improvements and unlocks even more functionality. The app gives you access to features like:
- session durations ranging from 5 minutes to 9 hours
- specially designed waveforms for comfort, sleep, stress, and hot flashes
- LED bright/dim/discreet off options
- presets that allow you to assign your 2 favorite sessions to the buttons on your Wave
If you don't have access to a smartphone or tablet or if you don't want to download the app, you can still use your Wave for warming or cooling in our default 10-minute Cooling session. Hit either the dotted button or the blank button on the Wave to start or stop warming/cooling sessions.
The app also allows you to download firmware updates that do important things like improving battery life and making cooling/warming more powerful! For this reason, even if you don't plan to use the app regularly or don't have access to a smartphone, we strongly recommend installing it (or having a friend install it on their phone temporarily) so that you can get the most up-to-date firmware on your Wave and select your preferred mode.
If you don't have access to a smartphone or tablet or if you don't want to download the app, you can still use your Wave for warming or cooling in our default 10-minute sessions. Press either button to wake up your Wave. Then press the dotted button to cool (or make things cooler) and the blank button to warm (or make things warmer).
We highly recommend having the app so that you can take full advantage of all of the most up-to-date features and benefits of your Wave!
