If you are encountering problems or experiencing inconsistency with your GateHawk mobile app's Entrances feature, it may be resolved using one of the troubleshooting methods below. If you are still experiencing issues with the Entrances feature after trying the following steps, please submit a ticket to our support team. 


Option 1: Confirm whether or not Bluetooth is enabled on your mobile device.

1. Tap Enable in System Settings. This will take you outside of the GateHawk app, to your mobile device app settings.

2. Locate the option for Bluetooth permissions, and Toggle On

3. Navigate back to your GateHawk Mobile app. You are now able to interact with local intercom devices. 


Option 2: Shorten the physical distance between your mobile device and the Intercom


Due to the Bluetooth functionality of the Entrances feature, it is necessary to be in close proximity to the intercom device controlling the door or gate you wish to receive access to.
