How the Wave Works
A cold or warm feeling on a specific part of your body can have a holistic effect.
By stimulating the temperature-sensitive nerves on your inner wrist, wearing Embr Wave can change how hot or cold you feel.

Wear
How do I wear my Embr Wave?
Wear Embr Wave on the inside of your wrist to be ready for thermal discomfort — anytime, anywhere.
It turns out that you don’t need to cool your whole body to get whole-body relief for hot flashes. Think of how dipping just your feet in cold water can make you feel cooler overall or how holding a hot mug of cocoa in your hands can warm you from head to toe. By targeting the temperature-sensitive skin of the inner wrist, Embr Wave is able to use just a little bit of temperature to make a big difference in how you feel all over.
Plus the wrist is easy to access, so you can discreetly manage your hot flash symptoms without anyone else needing to know.
How do I connect my Wave 2 to the app?
When you first install the Wave 2 app, you'll be taken through a setup process that shows you how to connect your Wave to the app over Bluetooth.
To connect your Wave 2 to the app during initial setup:
When you reach the screen that says "Set up your Wave," follow the on-screen instructions:
Press and hold the Dotted Button for 5-6 seconds, until you see a white glowing light.
Let go when you see the light.
Then tap "I see it!"
To connect your Wave 2 to the app after setup:
Tap Settings (in the bottom right of the screen).
Tap Add/Remove Device and follow the on-screen instructions:
Press and hold the Dotted Button for 5-6 seconds, until you see a white glowing light.
Let go when you see the light.
Then tap "Add Device."

How do I start warming or cooling with my Wave 2?
Start by using the buttons on the Wave.
Press either button once to wake up your Wave, and then press the Dotted or Blank Button once to start your session.
By default, the Dotted Button is set to Default Cooling (10 min) and the Blank Button is set to Default Warming (10 min).
You can reassign different sessions to each button using session presets in the companion mobile app, "Embr Wave 2".
How do I turn off my Wave 2 or manually stop a warming or cooling session?
To manually turn off your Wave device, press and hold either button for about one second to turn your Wave off. The LED will briefly flash white and then turn off.
Press either button to wake up your Wave again and start warming or cooling.

Feel
How can my Wave have an effect on my comfort if it’s only acting on my wrist?
A common misconception about humans and temperature is that our thermal experiences are dictated by our core temperature only.
In reality, studies have shown that even a small localized sensation on your wrist can change your whole body thermosensation and comfort level if you are feeling uncomfortably warm or cold.
What are thermoreceptors?
The inside of your wrist contains a high density of temperature-sensitive nerves, which we call thermoreceptors. That’s why it’s a good place for the Wave to cool or warm, affecting your whole body sensation.
Your body has two kinds of thermoreceptors in the skin: one kind senses warmth, the other senses cold.
These thermoreceptors send signals to the brain, which translate the thermal stimuli into thermal sensations through the same neural networks that are also responsible for touch, pleasure, thermoregulation, emotion, and the balance of your nervous system.
Does the Wave change your core body temperature?
Nope. Your Wave is able to help you feel more comfortable without needing to affect your core body temperature.
Unless you're actually at risk of hypothermia or hyperthermia, it’s likely that your core temperature is already right where it needs to be, at about 98.6 ºF.
Outside of extreme circumstances, thermal comfort isn't about core body temperature but instead depends on your perception of local thermal sensations across your entire body.
For example, if you've ever felt too hot while in bed and decided to stick one foot out from under the covers or flip your pillow to the cool side, those actions aren't changing your core temperature—that's still going to be around 98.6 ºF. Instead, they're introducing localized temperature sensations that help change the way you feel overall.
The Wave gives you the power to create these localized sensations on demand, anytime!
