Once you have added contacts we highly recommend you send a
demo alert to test the system. When the alert feature is activated for
the first time you will be asked if you want to allow the application to
act as a server for SMS sending. Tick the “do not ask” box and click
“Allow”.
Quick
Tip:

you

manually
allow
these
permissions.
In

option
that
pops
up
and
if
it
has
a
“do
not
ask
again”
check
box

this
is
selected.
Also
make
sure
that
you
test
the
Alert
Button
and

me
parts
once
you

time
each
is
activated.
