MOBILE SOCIAL ALARM

User guide

Safety information

• Users should pay particular attention to the potential for interference from other systems operating in the same or adjacent frequency bands.
• The Careium 450 cannot and shall not be dismantled.
• Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. To reduce the risk of fire or burns, do not disassemble, crush, puncture, short external contacts, expose to temperatures above 60° C (140° F), expose to extremely low air pressure or dispose of in fire or water. Recycle or dispose of used batteries according to the local regulations or reference guide supplied with your product.
• Only use recommended power supply as stated in the section Power supply.
• The wall socket should be installed near the Careium charger equipment and should be easily accessible.
• Follow the rules and laws that apply wherever you are, and always turn off the unit whenever its use is prohibited or can cause interference or hazards. Only use the unit in its normal user position. The unit should never be used in an operating temperature exceeding 40 °C or below -10 °C.

Important information

All systems using radio and telecommunications are subject to interference beyond the user’s control.
Products from Careium are designed to minimize the impact of such interference.
Nevertheless, the user must be aware that system components can be subjected to interference or other influences that may cause malfunction.
It is therefore important to regularly check that every part of the system works in all areas, especially radio communications. Contact your supplier immediately in case of any suspected malfunction.
Keep the product away from interfering devices such as radio transmitters, mobile phones, DECT telephones, or wireless headphones.
Users should pay particular attention to the risk of disruption from products that communicate using the same or adjacent frequencies.
For further information, please contact your supplier.

2.1 Medical units
The use of equipment that transmits radio signals, for example, mobile phones, can interfere with insufficiently protected medical equipment. Consult a doctor or the manufacturer of the equipment to determine if it has adequate protection against external radio signals, or if you have any questions. If notices have been put up at healthcare facilities instructing you to turn off the unit while you are there, you should comply. Hospitals and other healthcare facilities sometimes use equipment that can be sensitive to external radio signals.

2.1.1 Implanted medical devices
To avoid potential interference, manufacturers of implanted medical devices recommend a minimum separation of 15 cm between a wireless device and the medical device. Persons who have such devices should:

• Always keep the wireless device more than 15 cm from the medical device.
• Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
• Hold the wireless device to the ear opposite the medical device.
  If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn the phone off immediately If you have any questions about using your wireless device with an implanted medical device, consult your healthcare provider.

2.2 Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
This device meets applicable international safety requirements for exposure to radio waves. Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves (radio frequency electromagnetic fields) recommended by international guidelines from the independent scientific organization ICNIRP (International Commission of Non- Ionizing Radiation Protection). The radio wave exposure guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate,
or SAR.
The SAR limit for mobile devices is 2 W/kg averaging over 10 grams of tissue and includes a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of
age and health. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. The
highest SAR values under the ICNIRP guidelines for this device model are:
Body SAR: 1.373 W/kg
During normal use, the SAR values for this device are usually well below the values stated above. This is because, for purposes of system efficiency and to minimize interference on the network, the output power of your mobile device is automatically decreased when full power is not needed for the call. The lower the power output of the device, the lower its SAR value.

Description

Careium 450 is a small and comfortable GPS mobile social alarm that improves security not only in the home but everywhere the user goes. It is easy to carry around at all times, either in a pocket or as a pendant around the neck, and it is waterproof (IP67). When the emergency assistance button is pressed, an alarm is sent to the monitoring center and a built-in speakerphone enables voice communication with the center’s trained staff. GPS, Wi-Fi, and beacon positioning all cooperate to provide not only the user’s location but also advanced tracking and geofencing functionality that incorporates energy-saving technology for achieving long battery time. A mobile social alarm makes it easier for seniors to maintain an active lifestyle. The alarm should be directed to an alarm receiving center, a relative, or care staff. The service can be set up as a social alarm or a GPS-tracking alarm. A mobile social alarm encourages and helps seniors to stay active and move around freely outside their homes, while still feeling safe.

Alarms

5.1 Emergency alarm
This alarm is triggered via the SOS button on the front of the device. Three short presses in a row, or a long 3s press will activate the alarm.
5.2 Fall alarm
The fall algorithm built into the device can have two levels of sensitivity, high or normal. In the event that the device registers a fall, then it will check for motion or steps for a period of 30s after the fall occurred. If motion or steps are recorded within this period, then the device will cancel the fall alarm This sequence is silent, and the user will not know that the device has registered a fall, and thereafter canceled it. In the event that, the device registers a fall, the user will be alerted with a beep every second for the coming 30s. During these 30s the fall alarm can be canceled by the user with a press of the side button.
Note! A false alarm is canceled if there is movement detected after the fall. If the device is placed on a hard surface, such as a table, and then not moved, it can generate a false alarm.

5.3 Geo-Fence alarm
Two type of Geo-fence alarms can be set in the Careium 450. Settings are done via i-care® online. The fence shall be defined so that the target, such as a house, lake, etc. is in the middle of the fence. The radius of the fence shall not be less than 100m.

• Geo-Fence alarm IN.
  o If the device enters inside this fence the alarm will be triggered
  o Two Geo-fence IN zones can be setup

• Geo-Fence Out
  o If the device go outside of this fence the alarm will be sent
  o The Beacon need to be inside this fence
  o One Geo-Fence OUT zone can be set up

5.4 Technical alarms

• Power on
• Power off alarm
• Low battery alarm
• Critical low battery alarm (EOL alarm)
• Battery full alarm
• Test transmission alarm

Positioning

The device position can be determined in 4 different ways. GPS (and Glonass), Wi-Fi, LBS, and via Beacon. Every 3 minutes the device will determine its position, except for when it is stationary as in the below cases:

• Static. Definition of static is 7 minutes without movement. Movement is determined by the accelerometer in the device.
• In contact with at least one beacon. The satellite’s positioning has the highest priority. Accuracy is often about 10-100m. Wi-Fi position is determined by 2 or more mac addresses obtained from surrounding WiFi networks. Accuracy is often about 10-100m. Base station position is determined by data from 2 or more GSM base stations that the device has in the range. Accuracy is often less than 1000m. Beacon. If there is a beacon registered as “home” within range, the system knows that the user is at home.

Sending SMS

The device can send a predefined text message to one predefined receiver. SMS is sent by pressing the side button on the device. A sound and a vibration are played to confirm that the SMS will be sent. The SMS will contain a link with a google map position.
