Troubleshooting Location Services 
 
For Location Services to work correctly: 
•  Your device needs access to mobile data or WiFi to send location service events and 
to receive notifications. 
•  Your device needs the ability to track your location using GPS, cellular network, or WiFi 
network. Most modern Google Android and Apple iOS smartphones have this feature. 
•  Your device needs to have Location Services enabled (on Apple iOS it is in Settings – 
Privacy – Location Services). 
•  The UltraConnect app needs permission to monitor your location (on Apple iOS it is in 
Settings – Privacy – Location Services – UltraConnect – When in use). 
•  A valid user must be entered in the site details screen. 
 
•  If actions are programmed in the ZeroWire with a User, the selected user must have 
permissions to perform the selected action. 
•  Note on Apple iOS 7, the background Location Services of the UltraConnect app may 
be terminated by the phone if it is low on memory and notifications will cease working. 
It is recommended to upgrade to iOS 8 or above. 
If Location Services are not working: 
•  Check you can see the Arm/Disarm screen of the device you wish to receive 
notifications from, this ensures you have authority to access the ZeroWire. 
•  If you have enabled “Check Status on Leaving” feature but are not receiving 
notifications when leaving the home location, check your smartphone has notifications 
enabled (on Apple iOS click Settings, Notifications, scroll down and click UltraConnect, 
check “Allow Notifications” and “Show in Notification Centre” are enabled, optionally 
select the Alert Style as Banners or Alerts). Note you will not see notifications if the app 
is open on the screen.
