What to do if my Sonatest Security Sensors Wave is not responding?
If your Sonatest Security Sensors Wave is unresponsive, first check if you've accidentally activated the Freeze button or locked the screen by double-clicking the power-on button. As a last resort, you can perform a hard shutdown by pressing and holding the power-on button for 10 seconds.
Why is my Sonatest Wave battery life so short?
If you're experiencing short battery life with your Sonatest Security Sensors, it's recommended to complete a full charge and discharge cycle when you first receive the unit. If the issue persists, try charging the battery with another certified charger. If you don't have a spare charger, test with another battery. If the battery life improves with a different battery, the original battery is likely faulty.
What to do if my Sonatest Security Sensors Wave does not start?
If your Sonatest Security Sensors Wave does not power on, ensure the battery is fully charged and properly connected. If the battery is low, use the provided charger to charge it. You can also try removing and reinserting the battery before attempting to power it on again.
What to do if a transferred application is not working on my Sonatest Wave Security Sensors?
If a transferred application isn't working on your Sonatest Security Sensors, it might be corrupted. Ensure you have not transferred a corrupted application. Replace the faulty application with a working one, or simply delete the corrupted application.
Why is my Sonatest Security Sensors Wave battery life so short?
If you're experiencing a short battery life with your Sonatest Security Sensors Wave, it's recommended to complete a full charge and discharge cycle when you first receive the unit. If possible, try charging the battery with another certified charger. If you don't have a spare charger, test with another battery. If the battery life improves with the new battery, the original battery is likely faulty.
What to do if Sonatest Security Sensors Wave is not responding?
If your Sonatest Security Sensors Wave is unresponsive or frozen, first check if you've accidentally activated the Freeze button or double-clicked the power-on button, potentially locking the screen. As a last resort, you can perform a hard shutdown by pressing and holding the power-on button for 10 seconds.
