We have carefully fine-tuned our system to strike a balanced approach between ensuring falls are detected and minimising false alarms. However, no fall detection system can achieve a perfect balance and on occasion your watch may activate an unwanted fall alarm.

To help overcome this, your watch will state that a fall has been detected for 20 seconds before a call is placed to our monitoring team. If you don’t need assistance, you can simply do a short push of the button to cancel the call going through.

Alternatively, you are able to switch the automatic fall detection feature off if you would prefer. You can login to your account to update the settings.

Your watch may need switching on. Please ensure your watch is fully charged before pushing and holding the button down until your watch vibrates and swtiches back on.

Please follow the below steps to resolve the charging issues with your watch:

  1. Remove the plug from the wall.
  2. Remove the charging cable from the plug head and re-insert it (ensuring it is pushed all the way in).
  3. Check that the 2 golden prongs are intact and protruding on the end of the charging lead.
  4. Thoroughly clean the 2 charging contacts (small circles) on the back of your watch with a dry cloth.
  5. Put the plug into a different plug socket directly into the wall (do not use a plug extension).
  6. Attach the charging lead to the back of the watch and be careful it doesn't dislodge when putting it down.
  7. Leave your watch to charge for 2 hours before pressing and holding the button down until the watch vibrates and switches back on.

Please note it might take 15-30 minutes to show the battery charging image on the watch screen.

If you have limited signal in your property or local area, it is possible your watch may not be able to connect a call in certain areas.

If this is the case you will see "net fail" appear on the screen when placing a call. As signal can be very variable we suggest making test calls in each room of your property (particularly in any vulnerable areas) and places you visit regularly. This will allow you to assess how reliable your watch will be given the limited signal.
