Why is the GPS not working?
| GPS requires a straight line view of the sky for increased accuracy. Take the MediWatch outside for 2-3 minutes and retry acquiring location (seepage2).
Why is the device not charging?
| Confirm the MediWatch is laying in the charging cradle the correct way. The watch will announce when the device charging. A quick press of the SOS button will also show the screen with the charging symbol. Ensure the charging points are cleaned regularly (see”Key Information”).
Why didn’t Fall Detection sound after a fall?
| Due to the varied nature of falls, some falls may not register. We can adjust the sensitivity if necessary. However, in the event of a fall, do not wait for the Fall Alert alarm sound but press and hold the SOS button if you are able.
Safety Precautions
This device is reliant on the SIM provider’s network coverage to make phone calls, to send SMS text messages, and to transmit information regarding GPS positioning. These services may vary between providers and locations throughout the world. GPS location is often not available when the Guardian MediWatch is inside a building. Also, outdoor location performance can sometimes deliver inaccurate coordinates if the device is unable to get a fix on a minimum number of satellites. The accuracy of GPS positioning is determined by having a clear line of sight to the available satellites. It is highly recommended that the user test their unit every 1-3 months by pressing and holding the SOS button. Warn contacts first (if family monitored). Unless using a Guardian SIM, it is the User’s responsibility to ensure that their own SIM has sufficient credit to use their device.
KEY POINTS
It is NOT RECOMMENDED to wear the device while sleeping due to false SOS
activations.
- Switch off your MediWatch when instructed to turn off all mobile phones on commercial aircraft.
- Avoid using a damaged power cable. This may cause overheating or a potential fire hazard.
- Never use any chemical or detergent to clean the MediWatch. This may erode its surface. In order to eliminate the risk of electric shock, do not touch the ends of the power cable, charging plug or the rmetal parts on t!he inside of the charging cradle with wet or damp hands.
- Avoid direct prolonged exposure to sunlight and high temperatures to minimise the potential of over-heating the battery, which may cause damage.
TEST RECORD
Please remember to test your device regularly. Use the table below· to record your test results.
