Die Uhr muss anfangs kalibriert werden. Dazu sollte die Uhr unterfreiem Himmel sein und Sie können dann in der APP/im Web-Portal den Knopf Kalibrierung drücken. Es geht aber auch, indem man ganz einfach mehrmals die Position der Uhr abfragt.

Die Uhr nutzt zur Ortung verschiedene Technologien. Je nachdem, welche verfügbar sind.
So ist z.B. GPS im Haus/im Indoor Bereich nicht möglich und die Uhr liefert in diesem Fall möglicherweise eine ungenaue Position.

Sollten Sie im Haus ein WLAN haben, so können Sie die nutzen, um eine perfekte Ortung zu erlangen.

Gehen Sie in der APP oder im Web-Portal zu "Betreuten-Daten bearbeiten". Geben Sie dort die genaue Adresse der betreuten Person ein.
Danach wählen Sie "Indoor Ortung" und danach drücken Sie den Knopf: "Suche Beacons"

Sollten in der Suchliste WLANS erscheinen, so wählen Sie 2-3 WLANs mit "hinzufügen" aus. Wählen Sie jene WLANs aus, wo die Signalstärke näher beim Wert 50 liegt. Geben Sie dem WLAN den Namen Wifi1, WiFi2,..
Vergessen Sie nicht, jeden WLAN Eintrag zu speichern. Sobald Sie damit fertig sind, können Sie nochmals die Position abfragen. 

There are many watches on the market that claim to have good fall detection based on acceleration detection. Unfortunately, the reality is different, as it is very difficult to detect a fall. Here are a few examples:

  • The watch wearer becomes dizzy and slowly slides to the ground; she is still partly propping herself up on a chair

  • Someone trips over the edge of the carpet and falls to the floor.

  • The watch wearer slaps the table with his hand.

It is very difficult to detect these falls well. All JAMES B and R models have a fall sensor, but it only works to a limited extent. It can happen that the camber sensor triggers too often or does not trigger because the "impact" was too low. You are welcome to switch the fall sensor on or off via the APP.

The JAMES S model offers a completely different option due to the built-in inactivity sensor. This means that the watch reports an alarm when it reaches a certain time (e.g. 15 minutes - 8 levels are adjustable) is not moved.

 At JAMES we are working on better fall detection, but we know from experience that the best safety is achieved when the watch is worn. In the majority of emergency situations (no matter whether it is a fall, fear, imminent danger, etc.). help is just a push of a button away!

The battery lasts approximately three to four days. However, we recommend charging the watch daily (approx. 30 minutes).

The JAMES emergency watches have sensitive charging contacts. To maintain the full functionality of the battery charging process, the charging contacts on the watch should be cleaned at regular intervals.

Replacement charging cables can be ordered from our online shop at any time.

The JAMES products should be regularly cleaned with a spectacle cloth or microfibre cloth to remove everyday traces of use, such as dust or fingerprints. If the screen is more heavily soiled, a damp cloth can also be used for cleaning. In addition, special screen cleaning cloths are recommended, which can be purchased in electronics stores.
