11.4 | LIMITATIONS OF WIRELESS CONNECTION
Halo requires a functional Wi-Fi connection to send push notifications. Your smartphone or tablet requires a
functional Wi-Fi connection to receive these notifications. They rely on your home’s Wi-Fi network which may
result in non-real-time alerts and are not a substitute for a third party emergency monitoring services.
11.3 | LIMITATIONS OF WEATHER RADIO
Weather Radios are key to receive alerts about: tornadoes, hurricanes, and other severe weather. Halo+ can only
work if they are properly located, installed, and maintained.
WARNING: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND THOROUGHLY
1. NEVER ignore your Halo+ if it alarms. Failure to do so can result in injury or death.
2. Halo+ may not waken all individuals.
3. Halo+ alarms cannot work without power. Halo+ Weather Radio feature is disabled during long power
outages once the backup battery reaches a low power level.
4. Halo+ alarms may not be heard due to the following:
a. Residents are under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
b. Alarm is drowned by noise from stereo, TV, traffic, air conditioner or other appliances.
c. Residents are hearing impaired, or sound sleepers. Special weather radios should be installed for
those who are hearing impaired. This weather radio is not intended to alert hearing impaired
residents.
5. Halo+ alarms have a limited life. The unit should be replaced immediately if it is not operating properly.
You should always replace a Halo+ Alarm after 10 years from the installation date. This manufacture
date will be located on back of the unit.
6. Halo+ alarms are not a substitute for property or life insurance.
7. Halo+ alarms are not foolproof. Like all other electronic devices, Halo+ alarms have limitations. Halo+ can
only play the weather radio alerts if the unit receives the radio broadcast alert on the station the device
was tuned to and the alert has been selected by the user inside the app.
8. The hush feature is for your convenience only and will not correct a weather radio related problem.
Take immediate action when alarm goes off. Failure to do so can result in injury or death.
Currently, only a few areas are not covered. Typical broadcasts are within reception distance of 25-50 miles of
the weather station depending on your location and conditions of weather, terrain, etc. If you find reception is
not good in your area, try different locations in your home or office to find a spot of improved receptions.
Note: If a weather broadcast cannot be heard on any of the 7 channels, contact your local NWS office and
verify the closest station is on air and your home is within broadcasting range. If your NWS is transmitting,
you are in range of the transmission and you are not receiving the broadcasts, there might be a problem with
your unit. Please contact Halo Customer Care at (888) 434-HALO (4256).
