How Alerts Work Wearsafe offers two types of alerts: Check-ins and Red Alerts. Check-ins are a one-time notification sharing your location at the time the alert is sent. They are often used to let your Contacts know everything is ok or that you got to your destination safely.
Sending Alerts with the Wearsafe App You are able to send both types of alerts from the main menu of the Wearsafe app. Tap the Menu button and then tap “Home”. How To Send a Check-in Tap the “Check-in” button on the home screen. A Check-in will be sent immediately. You will see the confirmation on the home screen that the Check-in was sent and receive a push notification.
Before sending an alert with your Wearsafe Tag, be sure that Bluetooth is active on the phone paired to your Tag. A Check-in is sent with a single press of the button on your Tag and a Red Alert is sent by pressing and holding the button.
