Disclaimer Regarding Fall Detection

Warning: The SEFD1 Fall Detection Device assists in automatically detecting conditions where the
unit experiences a change in angle combined with a force exceeding a certain G force measurement.
This reduces, but does not eliminate the risk, that an individual may experience an event where
they require emergency assistance but are unable to obtain assistance on their own. There is a risk

that the Fall Alert may not send an emergency signal in the event of a fall or a manual activation resulting
in no emergency response despite a true emergency. A false alarm from the Fall Alert system could
summon emergency help that is not needed and may result in false alarm fines or damage from forcible
entry of emergency personnel into your home.

The user recognizes that a properly installed and maintained personal security system may only reduce
the risk of events such as burglary, robbery, personal injury and fire. It does not insure or guarantee that
there will be no death, personal injury and/or damage to property as a result. Detection Systems does

not claim that the Product may not be compromised and/or circumvented, or that the Product will
prevent any death, personal and/or bodily injury and/or damage to property resulting from burglary,
robbery, fire or otherwise, or that the Product will in all cases provide adequate warning or
protection.

(1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference

Calls for Help Even When You Cannot

The SEFD1 Fall Detection and Personal Help Button provides assistance that no other
personal help button can offer. The pendant alerts your emergency monitoring service
automatically when it detects a fall, even if you are able to push the help button on the
pendant.

The SEFD1 is designed to work in and immediately around your home. The
pendant must be close enough to the receiver for a help signal to be transmitted.
The coverage area of the pendant will vary from one home to another. It is
important for you to know the effective range of your pendant.

The SEFD1 is designed to detect falls that meet certain criteria. It may not
detect every fall, especially slight falls that are generally not disabling. The SEFD1
Fall Detection device may also generate a fall alarm when you have not fallen.
For example, if the pendant drops on the floor, the device may alert the monitoring
center that you have fallen.

Operation

The SEFD1 pendant transmits three conditions:

• Push Button

• Fall

• Low Battery
