Charging your device

There are 2 ways to charge your device.

Charging by magnetic USB cable

• When placing the magnetic USB cable on the device charging contacts make sure it is positioned correctly.
• The power indicator (red light) should blink when charging and remain solid when fully charged.
• When the device starts charging successfully you will hear an audible voice prompt.

Charging by base

• Place the device on the charging base.
• Connect the USB cable from the charging base to the AC adaptor.

The charging base light will glow when charging and turn solid when fully charged.

• TIP: For the first time use, please fully charge the battery for around 2-3 hours
• TIP: The charging base is equipped with a 2000mAh back up battery, which can charge the device when the electricity is off at home or when traveling.

Activating an SOS Alarm

When you need help, press the SOS button for 3-4 seconds till you hear a voice prompt of activating an SOS alarm. This starts the
“Help me!” text message sequence to your emergency contacts. Your emergency contacts will be individually called shortly afterwards automatically, until the SOS sequence is stopped.

• If the device fails to connect to the first number, it will call the second number after delay of 15 seconds. In case the second number fails to be connected as well, the system will connect to the third number etc.
• Between each call, there will be a 10 second delay, during this time the user can stop the call sequence or prevent a possible false alarm by pressing the SOS button.
• The receiver of the call can also stop the call sequence by pressing 1 on their mobile phone during the two-way call.
• Use the side buttons +/- to adjust the sound volume during a call
  • TIP: Please remember to program emergency contact numbers. It is not mandatory for all three authorized numbers to be set, however a minimum of one must always be set.
  • TIP : Please be patient during the call sequence. There can be short delays as the alarm calls phones who maybe out of range or delivered to people’s voicemail.

Getting a GPS fix

To get an initial fix for the GPS features, use outdoors or near a window so the device can get a fix on the satellites. This could take few minutes according to your environment.

Fall detection alarm

Fall detection sensitivity can be adjusted and turned on or off via the portal.

Sometimes daily activities (such as sports or dropping your secure) may cause your secure to detect a fall incorrectly and cause a false alarm. You can always cancel the fall alert before your contacts are notified by pressing the SOS button during the initial voice prompt sequence.

TIP

IMPORTANT: It is possible that the secure may not correctly detect a fall down event under certain circumstances. Using the SOS button is critical to get help in an emergency situation. If you have fallen, but do not hear the secure voice sequence activate please press the SOS button.

Making a phone call

To make a call to your carer, press side call button for 3 seconds and you will hear a beep, and then it will dial and connect promptly.

To end the call, press the SOS button.

Silent mode button

Double click the bottom side button to turn off voice warnings, double click again to turn on voice warnings.

IMPORTANT: Switching off voice prompts will mean that when you activate an SOS sequence, or a fall down is detected your secure will remain silent until your emergency contacts are rung by phone.

• When determining whether or not to turn off the voice prompts, please consider your personal situation and whether or not it
  would be appropriate to switch these prompts off.

• SOFIHUB recommends that elderly users of the secure always have their voice prompts turned on. Turning off voice prompts
  may be confusing for the elderly, for example if a fall is detected and the sequence is activated, the user may not remember voice prompts are disabled and they may proceed to press the SOS button, which in turn would cancel the fall alert sequence (as the secure allows for canceling false positive fall alerts. Please see the “Fall down alarm for more information).”
