Troubleshooting

  • Problem: The FallCall™ Detect icon is not appearing on my Apple Watch®.

    Solutions:

    • Be sure the Apple Watch is paired with the iPhone and the FallCall Detect has been downloaded and setup properly.
    • Be sure that you have turned on permission to show FallCall Detect on your watch via the following:
    • Watch->FallCall Detect-> “Show App on Apple Watch” switch is turned “On” (colored green)

  • 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: FallCall™ Detect functions normally when I have the app open on my iPhone®, but it doesn’t update when I am outside the app.

    Solutions:

    • Be sure you have connectivity with a Wi-Fi or cellular data network

    • Apple settings->FallCall Detect->Background App Refresh, toggle switch to “On” (colored green)

    • 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™ Detect->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 Detect apps on both the Caregiver’s and Elder’s iPhones and download again to restart the setup process.
