Troubleshooting
If your device LED remains flashing Green
for more than 3 minutes - Please check the
connection between the Olarm PRO and the
alarm panel.
If your device LED is Red - Please check the
connection between the Olarm PRO and the
alarm panel.
If your device LED is Orange - Please ensure
that the Olarm PRO is located in an area with
good Vodacom and/or MTN signal strength.
If it is not, please ensure that your device is
connected to Wifi using the wizard inside the
Olarm app.
If your device LED is not coming on - Please
check the connection between the Olarm PRO

connected to power.
If your device LED remains purple for more
than 15 minutes - Please contact Olarm Support.
We suggest mounting the Olarm PRO device
on a wall or on the outside of the alarm panel.
Please do NOT mount the Olarm PRO inside the
alarm box or near any other radio equiprment
as it will reduce the signal strength and result in
your device not functioning correctly.
