Auto Alert Sensitivity
You can adjust your Auto Alert Sensitivity in the
Thrive app� Increasing the sensitivity may increase the
likelihood of detecting a fall� Decreasing the sensitivity
may help reduce the probability of false alerts�
WARNING:
Decreasing the Auto Alert Sensitivity may
prevent some falls from being detected by your Fall
Alert system�
For example, Auto Alert may not detect a fall if:
• The Sensitivity setting is not appropriate for
the user�
• The fall is very slow, or you slide down gradually�
• You get up and begin walking immediately after
a fall�
As a reminder, you can initiate a Manual Alert if Auto
Alert does not detect a fall� Manual Alert must be
configured by your hearing professional before it can
be used�
WARNING:
Auto Alert may initiate false-alerts� To
prevent false-alert text messages from being sent to

your smartphone or by pressing the user control on
