What BAND V2 wearers should know
Click here for a printable one-pager to help BAND V2 end-users.
What is a BAND V2?
The BAND V2 prevents heat stress and overexertion iniuries. It is a wearable that measures core body temperature as well as other exertional limit values. It will alert when exertional thresholds have been surpassed and if enabled and available, send your location via GPS.
How to Use the Device
Simply place the wearable on your upper arm so that the sensor is directly touching skin and tighten the elastic strap so that it is comfortable but not loose. Try to avoid placing the sensor over tattoos, if possible.
What do the Vibrations Mean?
| Vibration Pattern | Meaning |
| 1 Short Vibration | The BAND V2 is being worn |
| 3 Short Vibrations | You have triggered a low-severity alert |
| 4 Short Vibrations | You have triggered a high-severity alert |
| 2 Short Vibrations | You are clear to return-to-work |
| 5 Heart Beat Pulses | (If enabled) Low battery |
| 5 Long Vibrations | Hardware error, device may be broken. These errors are not common and are very noticeable — the vibrations last significantly longer than high-severity alerts. |

No Movement Alert (if enabled):

TapAlert (if enabled):
While wearing a BAND V2, you can trigger an SOS TapAlert by using the palm of your hand to double-tap the face of the BAND V2 holding your hand against it for 3 seconds. For more, view this support article.
Low Battery Notification (if enabled):
If you are wearing a BAND V2 and the battery drops below the Low Battery threshold (as set by an admin), then the BAND V2 will flash blue LEDs and emit 5 haptic feedback pulses in a heartbeat pattern.

Skin sensitivities
Some people may experience reactions to certain materials used in jewelry, watches, and other wearable items that are in prolonged contact with their skin. This can be due to allergies, environmental factors, extended exposure to irritants like soap, sweat, or other causes. You or any BAND V2 wearer at your organization may be more likely to experience irritation from any wearable device if you have allergies or other sensitivities. If you or any BAND V2 wearer at your organization have known skin sensitivities, please take special care when wearing the BAND V2. BAND V2 wearers may be more likely to experience irritation from the BAND V2 if worn too tightly. To help minimize, ensure BAND V2 wearers periodically move or remove the BAND V2 to allow skin under the device to breathe. Keeping the BAND V2 and the associated strap clean and dry will reduce the possibility of skin irritation. If a BAND V2 wearer experiences redness, swelling, itchiness, or any other irritation or discomfort on their skin around, or beneath, their BAND V2, please remove the BAND V2 and ensure they consult their physician before resuming wear. Continued use, even after symptoms subside, may result in renewed or increased irritation.
