Switching On Your Call Fob

To activate the Call Fob press and hold the BLACK button for up to
5 seconds. When activated the Call Fob will emit a single audible
pip and the alert/status lamp will flash once indicating that it is
switched on.

After 10 seconds the alert/status lamp will emit a series of single
flashes, this indicates that the Call Fob is in the process of detecting
the EkoTek wireless network. Once the network is detected and the
Call Fob is logged-on, the alert/status lamp will emit a series of
double flashes indicating that the Call Fob is now ready to use.

Pressing the black button briefly will indicate if the Call Fob is
logged-on to a network : the Status lamp will flash twice in
succession if it is logged on or once if it is not logged-on.

If your EkoTek Call Fob does not switch on, check that a fresh
battery is correctly installed and refer to the section entitled:
Changing the Call Fob Battery.

Note: The Call Fob is automatically activated by the insertion of a
battery.
