How workers use their Zoleo Device?
When a worker starts their shift, they can choose any Zoleo device which has been set up in Ok Alone. To start their shift the worker can send a message in Zoleo with their PIN and the word start.
e.g. 123456 start
At the end of the shift they can send the same message with end:
e.g. 123456 end
They can also manage their shift on the app at any time.

ZOLEO IMEI and Phone Numbers

How to activate a ZOLEO device
The first step is to activate your device with ZOLEO.
This guide explains how to do this – How to Activate my ZOLEO Device
Connect ZOLEO device to your Phone
First open the ZOLEO app on your phone and make sure that your phone is connected to your current device.
1. Open the ZOLEO app.
2. Power on your ZOLEO device and ensure you have network connectivity to a Wi-Fi or cellular network.
If you do not have access to Wi-Fi or cellular networks, you can also link your ZOLEO device to the ZOLEO app over satellite. Ensure you have a line of sight to the sky. For best success take the device to a clear outdoor area.
3. In the bottom menu, tap on the ZOLEO icon (in the center).
4. Tap on your ZOLEO IMEI from the list of available devices. This number can be found on the bottom of your device and begins with 300.
5. The ZOLEO app will now begin to connect to your device and send a message to the ZOLEO server to enable Follow-Me SMS & Email messaging. This is so messages sent to your ZOLEO email address and ZOLEO SMS number are always delivered to your app.
If performing this process over satellite, wait a couple of minutes for the process to complete.
6. Once successfully connected and Follow-Me SMS & Email messaging has been enabled, a confirmation prompt will appear and you will now see the other app menu icons appear such as SOS and Weather.
