5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your ZTE Smartwatch Live 3, refer to the following common solutions:
| Problem | Possible Solution |

| Cannot pair with smartphone | Verify Bluetooth is enabled on your phone and the watch. Ensure the watch is in pairing mode. Restart both the watch and your phone. Clear Bluetooth cache on your phone if issues persist. Make sure the watch is not already paired with another device. |
| Inaccurate health data | Ensure the watch is worn snugly on your wrist, about one finger's width above the wrist bone. Clean the sensor on the back of the watch. Avoid excessive movement during measurements. Note that smartwatches are not medical devices and data is for reference only. |
| Notifications not received | Check if the watch is connected to your phone. Ensure notification permissions are granted to the companion app on your phone. Verify that 'Do Not Disturb' mode is not active on either the watch or phone. Check app-specific notification settings within the companion app. |
