It could be one of the following reasons:

• You have not downloaded and installed the App. Follow the instructions in “GENERAL SET UP & APP."

• Your battery is low. Follow the instructions in "HOW DO I KNOW IF MY HYBRID SMARTWATCH BATTERY IS LOW AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED?"

• Your watch may not be close enough to your phone. Move your watch closer to your phone.

It could be one of the following reasons:

• The watch may be disconnecting if moved outside of the phone’s Bluetooth range. Bluetooth range is 10 metres (30 feet) if there are no doors, walls, or other obstacles between the phone and the watch. Bluetooth may be disabled on the phone. The app will notify you that Bluetooth is not on and will ask to turn it on. Try enabling Bluetooth on your phone using the phone’s Bluetooth settings. If it is already enabled, try turning Bluetooth off and on.

• If within Bluetooth range of the phone and watch still will not sync, the watch battery might be low. Follow the instructions in "HOW DO I INSTALL/REPLACE THE BATTERY" to replace your battery.

• If your watch keeps disconnecting after replacing the battery and while still within Bluetooth range of the phone, try turning Bluetooth on and off.

• If your watch still disconnects, try the steps found in "HOW DO I RE-PAIR THE SAME WATCH WITH THE APP?"

When your battery gets low, your app will notify you. Once the battery becomes too low for vibrations, all hands will point to the 6 position on your watch. You will be notified within the App that the features using vibration will no longer work until the battery is replaced. You can dismiss the low battery notification in the app as well as on your watch by pressing any pusher. After you have dismissed this notification, your watch will go back to telling time.

Notifications alert you on your watch with a vibration and/or movement of the hands. Frequent alerts may cause your battery to drain more quickly. To maximise battery life, you can:

• Reduce the number of People or Apps you have selected in Notifications. See "HOW CAN I DELETE A CONTACT OR APP FROM MY NOTIFICATIONS?" to learn how.

• Turn off Notifications. See "HOW DO I DEACTIVATE NOTIFICATIONS?" to learn how.

Make sure you have been through Activity onboarding to set up your tracking. Next, ensure your device is on, has a full battery, and is connected to the app. To sync, go into your activity screen and pull down to start the syncing process.

It could be one of the following reasons:

• Make sure you have been through the Activity onboarding to set up your tracking.

• Make sure your device's battery is not dead and that it is syncing to the app.

• The device only tracks walking, running and other related activities. If you hold something in the same hand as the device while walking, it might not count all steps accurately.

• The device might be in recovery mode. If so, tracking and notifications will not work. You will need to do a firmware update to get things back to normal again.

• We use sensors and a complex algorithm to determine when someone has taken a step. We believe our algorithm is an accurate representation of actual movement and ignores false movement like simply moving your arm.

Notifications is a section of the App that enables you to customise the notifications you would like to receive on your watch.

"My People" enables you to receive notifications from a selected amount of people in your contact list. You can set whether you want to be notified when they call, text and/or email you.

In your Notifications home page, tap “Add” next to “My People,” search or scroll through the contacts you would like to add and tap the back arrow to save.

On iPhones, not all notifications will get sent if multiple notifications are received on the phone at the same time (e.g. you have My App Notifications for all your apps and your phone receives Gmail, Inbox, Google+, Facebook, and Facebook Messenger at the same time, possibly only one of the "My App" notifications will trigger).

To deactivate all your notifications tap the on/off toggle on the top right corner of the Notifications home page.

Swipe left on the contact or app you would like to delete and press the trash can icon.

Tap the strikethrough circle symbol in the top right of the screen for each contact or app for which you would like to disable hand movements. Your watch will only vibrate when you receive a notification from that specific contact or app.

To change vibration strength, go to Settings in the app. To access Settings, tap the the three lines in the upper left of the screen to open the navigation menu. Then tap the gear icon to the right of your profile picture to open Settings. Tap "Vibration Strength" and select Light, Medium or Strong.

You should make sure your device battery has power and your device is connected properly to the app. If the problem persists you may unpair your device from the phone and pair it again. If you are wearing another smartwatch device that is receiving notifications (e.g. Apple Watch, Pebble, etc.), the notification may not always go to both devices, and can in some cases only go to one of the devices, but not the other.

Be sure that the app you have selected to receive notifications for has the settings configured to show notifications on the lock screen of your phone. This determines what notifications make it to your device.

To access Settings, select the 3 lines in the upper left of the app to open the navigation menu. Tap the gear in the top right corner. In your Settings Menu, you can edit your activity and sleep goals, manage your profile, connected apps, notifications, vibration strength, and get support.
