Using Your System

Fall Detection
Fall Detection – How it Works
Fall Detection only takes a few seconds to interpret the movement and
determine if an actual fall has occurred. If a fall is determined, the device
will send a signal which will initiate a call to the emergency response
center.
Remember, always press your button if able, as some falls may not be
detectable.
To cancel a call made due to a Fall Detection event, after you hear the
announcement, press the HELP button on your main system for two seconds when
prompted. The system will announce, “Your call has been canceled.”
We recommend that you wear your device around your neck so that it rests at
chest level to avoid unnecessary swinging. Make sure the emergency button is
facing forward, making it easier for you to press in the event of an
emergency. Wear outside your clothing as wearing it inside can reduce the
percentage of falls being detected.

Tips and Reminders
-
Your system requires adequate battery charge and cellular signal to make an emergency call.
-
Your system is water-resistant and can be worn in the bath or shower.
-
Your system uses GPS technology to identify your location. In good conditions, the product should provide a location that is accurate within 30 feet or less. However, the
performance of GPS can be affected by a wide range of factors, including obstructions, metal objects in the vicinity structures that block the signal from satellites, weather, and other factors. -
Your system uses the cellular network to communicate.
The system’s location, network provider service availability, and other issues may disrupt communications. -
Button lanyards are designed to break away under certain conditions; however, any cord worn around the neck can pose a risk of strangulation, including the possibility of
serious injury or death. -
Your system is designed to always be ON except when taking on an airplane.
-
Remove your device from the cradle periodically to ensure battery integrity.
If the call cannot be placed due to poor cellular connection or other issues, the system will announce, “Call failed.” Attempt to place the call again or move to an area with better cellular service.
Please notify us if there are any changes to your address, phone number or emergency contacts.
Important Information
-
The back of this system and the charging cable both contain magnets. Magnets with a strong magnetic field may cause permanent damage to health systems susceptible to magnetic fields, credit cards, computer hard drives, watches, TVs, data storage media and other electronic systems.
If you have a health system susceptible to magnetic fields, such as a pacemaker or defibrillator, this system, and its charging cable must be kept 3″ or more from your health system. Please check with your physician prior to using this system if concerned. -
Our products are tested, as are other cellular and wireless communications products licensed in the United States.
Individuals with pacemakers should review their pacemaker materials regarding interaction with cell phones and take the same precautions the materials recommend for this system.
