Frequently asked questions
What types of areas may have a low, zero or variable signal?
Examples of low signal areas include rural locations where cellular infrastructure is less developed; areas with geographical features that limit mobile network services due to topography e.g. mountainous regions; and building structures, materials, or underground spaces that inhibit mobile network availability.
Which devices have the Monitoring Timer feature?
The Monitoring Timer feature is available on all of SoloProtect's touchscreen devices: the ID Touch, Shield and Curve.
How does Monitoring Timer work?
The device user sets the Monitoring Timer before entering an area with a poor signal. This also activates a timer within our Emergency Monitoring Centre system. When the worker finishes their task and returns to an area with a stronger signal, they manually stop the timer before it expires. If the timer expires without being cancelled, our operators will begin a pre-agreed process of escalation and attempt to locate the worker to confirm their safety.
