The Buzzz Notifier is a non intrusive, portable alarm receiver. Designed
to make caring easier and simpler without the need for a telephone line or
monitoring centre. Supporting up to 150 devices, the Buzzz allows the carer
to receive immediate alerts, enabling them to provide high level and efficient
care. The unique aesthetics and variety of colour options allow the Buzzz to
sit comfortably in any home.

Insert the power cable to the back of the charger base and the other end
to the plug. Then plug into a power socket and the blue LEDs will light up in
the charger base.

Place the Buzzz into the charging slot indicated by the blue lights.

On first use, the Buzzz will require up to 3 hours to fully charge.

To turn the Buzzz on, press and hold the button for approximately

10 seconds.

Once charged, choose which Mode you require

You can now add devices into the Buzzz and customise settings to your

required preferences.

Use the Standard Mode for simple alerts when caring for one person.
The most recent alarm will override any other alarm that has previously been
activated, allowing the carer to view the most immediate alert.

The Advanced Mode is ideal if the unit is being used to care for many people
at once.

e.g. In a Care Home or in a more complex setting with
many different paired devices.

When multiple alarms are activated they will all be queued allowing you to
prioritise alerts.

The Advanced Mode is ideal if the unit
is being used to care for many people
at once e.g. care homes or in more
complex environments with many

Mode when multiple alerts are activated,
all unacknowledged alerts are queued
by delaying the alerts. The pending alerts
can be viewed via the ‘Active Alerts’ icon
on the home screen.

The Active Alerts’ icon is only visible when
there is a pending alert. Or when there are
several alerts coming through at the same time.
