Troubleshooting

  • Problem: Pairing problems between Caregivers and Elders.

    Solutions:

    • Ensure Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or cellular data connectivity for the Caregiver and Elder devices
    • Be sure to verify your Elder’s iPhone® number.
    • Once you have set up your role as a Caregiver or an Elder, the phone number and email address will be assigned to that role and can’t be changed.  If you wish to change roles (i.e. from Caregiver to Elder or Elder to Caregiver), please contact us at https://support.fallcall.com.

  • Problem: My Elder initiated a Call for Help, but I NEVER received any notifications from my Elder or the Central Monitor.

    Solutions:

    • Ensure Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or cellular data connectivity for the Caregiver and Elder devices
    • Ensure that both the iPhone® and Apple Watch® are both powered on and are charged to >20% battery level. 
    • Be sure the Caregiver and Elder devices were paired through the setup process
    • Be sure “Notifications” were turned on either during the setup process OR through the following:
    • Apple settings->FallCall™ Lite->Notifications->turn on “Allow Notifications” and make sure “Show in Notification Center,” “Sounds,” “Badge App Icon,” and “Show on Lock Screen” are all toggled to “On” (colored green).
    • Erase the FallCall Lite apps on both the Caregiver’s and Elder’s iPhones and download again to restart the setup process.
