EmbracePlus memory is full (M! icon)

Where the Care App and Care Portal are mentioned, the articles in the Support Center refer to both the professional Plan (Care Lab App and Care Lab Portal) and the enterprise Plan (Care App and Care Portal), unless indicated otherwise.

The ‘M!’ icon shown on the EmbracePlus display indicates that its internal memory is full. This happens when EmbracePlus is disconnected from the Care App on the paired companion device for a long period of time, causing the recorded data to be stored in the EmbracePlus internal memory until it is full. Note that if a connection is not established once the memory is full, EmbracePlus will stop collecting further data.

To resolve the full memory issue, place EmbracePlus within Bluetooth range of the paired companion device and open the Care App to re-establish the connection. As soon as EmbracePlus connects with the companion device, the stored data will be automatically synced. You will see the status ‘EmbracePlus is syncing’ on the Care App confirming the data sync.

Android If the companion device is Android, we also recommend checking our configuration tips to disable battery optimization and allow the Care App to run in the background.

If EmbracePlus doesn’t start syncing, follow the steps below. Note that the problem may get resolved at any point of the procedure. Check the status update, which should switch from red to teal or yellow:

Place EmbracePlus on the cable charger. You will see the battery percentage and a battery icon appear on the display.
Open the Care App, which should indicate the status ‘EmbracePlus memory is full’. Wait ~1 min to check if the status changes to teal with the message ‘EmbracePlus is syncing’ or ‘EmbracePlus is charging’ if it is on the cable charger.
Close the Care App.

BYOD Force close the Care App and open it again after ~5 seconds.
provisioned Reboot the companion device and open the Care App.

Wait ~1 min to check if the status changes to teal. If it doesn’t, continue with the next steps.

Make sure the companion device is within Bluetooth range and the Bluetooth is ON.

android BYOD Make sure Location services are ON and allowed for the Care App. (The location services are mandatory by the Operating System to enable Bluetooth scanning. The Care App will not access, share, or store any location information for any of its features.)

Toggle the Bluetooth OFF for a couple of seconds.

Toggle the Bluetooth back ON, then go back to the Care App and check the status, which should indicate charging. If it doesn’t, continue with the next steps.

Tap on the 3 dots on the top-right corner, then tap on ‘Forget’ under the EmbracePlus section.

The Care App will go back to the pairing screen. Make sure the EmbracePlus is charging and nearby, then attempt pairing again.
