Setting Up Your SafetyLink Band
Aware360 has updated the hardware for the SafetyLink bands. Follow these steps to set up and use your upgraded SafetyLink Bands:
- Charging the SafetyLink Band:
- Gently tug on each band strap to remove it from the main unit.
- Insert the side with connection strips directly into a USB 3.0 charging port.
- Bands will be fully charged in 2 hours, providing 7 days of usage.
- Powering On the Band
- Double-tap the button sensor to turn on the band.A blue light indicates that the band is ready to pair.
- Enabling Bluetooth on Your Device:
- To enable Bluetooth on IOS and Android, scroll from top to bottom on the main screen and tap the Bluetooth icon.
- Alternatively, you can toggle Bluetooth via your phone’s general settings.
- Connecting Your Phone to the Band
- In the SafetyAware application on the phone, tap the settings icon.
- Select “SafetyAware Companion” and click “Enable”.
- Select “SafetyAware Band”. The band’s code will be displayed in the app. Tap it to pair.
- On the band, a purple light indicates a successful connection to the SafetyAware app. Bluetooth range is up to 50 feet.
- If the band does not appear in the app:
- Ensure the blue light is on and the band is not paired with another device.
- Verify that your phone’s Bluetooth is enabled and new connections are allowed.
- Using the SafetyLink Band
- SOS’s can be triggered by discreetly double tapping the band’s sensor button. The sensor is at the same location as the blue or purple light.
- Ensure taps are done directly over the sensor button; tapping elsewhere will NOT trigger an SOS.
- You can check if an SOS went through via the SafetyAware app. The band does not buzz or provide haptic feedback that an SOS was triggered.
- Accidental SOS Activation
- If an SOS is triggered accidentally, undo it through the SafetyAware app.
