If your home already has Internet access and a Wi-Fi network, sometimes called a “wireless network,” you can connect your phone to your Wi-Fi connection to reduce data usage on your monthly data plan allowance.

When successfully connected to your Wi-Fi network, all data usage will go through your home’s Internet access instead of Lively's cellular network.

NOTE: Periodically check the Status Bar to confirm if you are connected to Wi-Fi. If not, data use may be deducted from your monthly data allowance. If you are connected to Wi-Fi, you will see this in the Status Bar.

To get the most out of your Jitterbug Smart4, it is important that you link your device to a Google account, also known as Gmail. If you don’t have a Gmail account, we highly recommend setting one up. It is the best way to keep your contacts, emails, calendar events, tasks, and apps backed up and protected in case anything happens to your phone. It will also grant you access to the Google Play Store, which allow you to download apps and update your existing apps.

Creating an account is free. You will have the ability to sign into an existing Gmail account or create a new one when you setup your phone for the first time or when you open the Play Store app for the first time.

Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEAs) and the Emergency Alert System allows consumers who own compatible mobile devices to receive geographically targeted, free text-like messages alerting them of imminent threats to safety or missing person alerts in their area (i.e., AMBER Alerts).

WEAs only cover critical emergency situations. Consumers can receive four types of alerts:

• "National Alerts" issued by the President of the United States or the Administrator of FEMA;
• "Imminent Threat" alerts involving imminent threats to safety or life;
• "AMBER Alerts" about missing children; and
• "Public Safety Messages" conveying recommendations for saving lives and property.

WEAs are broadcast to the geographic area affected by an emergency. If you receive the alert, it is because you are located in a geographic area that is impacted by the alert.

To receive a WEA, your phone must be WEA-capable, switched on, not on "airplane mode," and in the vicinity of and receiving service from a cell tower of a wireless carrier that participates in WEA.

Adjusting your alert settings

WEA alerts don't cost any money, and you can adjust the alerts you get in your phone's settings. The FCC prohibits consumers from blocking national alerts. Therefore, while you can adjust your alert preferences, you will still receive nation-wide alerts.
