How does the Solo Watch work?
24/7 Monitoring Service
The Solo Watch is connected to the MePACS 24/7 response centre, which means every call will be answered within 2 minutes, day or night, by a monitor trained in emergency response.
To raise an alert, simply tap the icon on the watch face. One of our monitors will talk to you via the watch, assess your emergency and swiftly organise the appropriate help.
Unlike non-monitored “auto-dial” personal alarms, at MePACS we are able to share relevant information with emergency services, who can then prioritise your call appropriately and get to you quickly.
Knowing that you have a team of trained professionals always ready to respond in an emergency can be incredibly reassuring. It means that no matter where you are, you can feel confident that help is always just a screen tap away.
Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, anyone who you allow access to the watch will be able to tap the on the icon to raise an emergency alert.
The Solo Connect watch has a water resistant rating of IP68 and can withstand pressure of up to 5 atmospheres.
It can be worn in the bath, shower or pool, and can be used in 1.5 metres of water for up to 30 minutes.
The Solo watch has a battery life of between 10-12 hours depending on usage and mobile phone reception. It takes approx. 3-4 hours to charge the watch from flat to full.
There are several things that can reduce battery life:
- Low mobile reception (the watch is constantly searching for a signal)
- Using health apps
- Exposing your watch to very hot or cold temperatures.
In areas with low or no mobile reception, the Solo watch will not be able to raise an alert and connect to the MePACS emergency response centre. It will however still work as a watch.
If you live further than 1km from a Telstra mobile tower, we highly recommend getting the MePACS Home alarm and Solo watch bundle to ensure your safety at home.
To ensure the safety of couples at home and on-the-go, we recommend getting the MePACS home alarm with two pendants (one for each person), and a shared Solo watch to use when away from home.
MePACS products comply with the Australian Standards in relation to Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) for devices such as pacemakers.
No. The Solo watch does not have a medication reminder function.
In an emergency, the GPS function on the Solo watch can provide the location of the watch user to MePACS.
To protect the client’s privacy, family or nominated contacts cannot connect directly to the Solo Connect watch or have access to the GPS location.
MePACS does not track the client’s location and will only provide it to emergency services if there’s a concern for the wellbeing of the client.
No. The Solo watch cannot be paired with a mobile phone or other devices.
This is because the bluetooth function on the watch has been disabled as it can interfere with the MePACS emergency software that’s on the watch.
The Solo watch works independently and does not require a mobile phone.
However, as part of our duty of care, it is a MePACS requirement that clients who purchase the Solo watch must have a mobile phone.
This is to ensure that in an emergency we we have a backup option for contacting you, and also as an indication that you are comfortable and familiar with a touchscreen interface.
The Solo watch is exclusive to MePACS and cannot be purchased at a retail store. It can only be purchased directly through MePACS.

The Solo watch is specifically designed for fast emergency response and can only connect to the MePACS response centre, ensuring quick assistance during emergencies.
The watch cannot be programmed to call any other numbers, nor Triple Zero.
The Solo watch is programmed for 12-hour time only. This setting cannot be changed.
The wristband on the Solo watch is adjustable, so you can find a fit that’s comfortable for you.
If you prefer a different wristband, you can purchase compatible wristbands at many retailers, including Telstra, JB Hi-Fi or Harvey Norman. The wristband must be compatible with the Samsung Galaxy Watch.
The Solo watch comes with a range of health apps.
Other apps cannot be installed on the Solo Connect because they can interfere with the MePACS emergency response software that’s on the watch.
The MePACS Solo watch fastens with a hook and eye. If you have issues with dexterity, then our other personal alarm products, such as our new mobile alarm, may be more suitable for you.

In an emergency, MePACS will provide all the relevant information to emergency services so that they can tailor their response accordingly.
The MePACS software is designed specifically for the Solo watch. It cannot be installed on an existing smartwatch.
