2.1 Charging the Receiver
Before initial use, ensure the receiver is fully charged. Connect the provided charging cable to the receiver and a suitable USB power adapter. The receiver can operate while charging.
2.2 Wi-Fi Connection and APP Pairing
The system requires a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network for smartphone connectivity. It does not support 5GHz Wi-Fi. Follow these steps to connect and pair your devices:

- Confirm the Wi-Fi network and enter the password in the app. The receiver will connect to your Wi-Fi network.
- Once the receiver is connected, pair the panic button(s) with the receiver through the app's interface. The panic button and receiver must be within the same Wi-Fi network for initial pairing.

5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your DAYTECH WiFi Smart Caregiver Pager System, please refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:
- No Alerts on Phone: Ensure your receiver is connected to a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network. Verify that the mobile application has notification permissions enabled on your smartphone. Check the app for any error messages or disconnections.
- Receiver Not Responding: Confirm the receiver is plugged in or has sufficient battery charge. If the receiver is battery-powered, check its battery level in the app.
- Panic Button Not Triggering Alerts: Ensure the panic button is within range of the receiver. Check the panic button's battery status. Re-pair the panic button with the receiver via the app if necessary.
- Incorrect Wi-Fi Band: Remember that the system ONLY supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi. If your router broadcasts both 2.4GHz and 5GHz, ensure your phone is connected to the 2.4GHz network during setup.
