Congratulations
on your purchase of the GEOCARE® GC5
GEOCARE® is a mobile emergency call system that can trigger an
emergency call virtually anywhere and at any time.
Pressing the SOS key for three seconds establishes a telephone
connection to an emergency contact
can be an emergency call center or a contact person (e.g. a care
giver). In parallel with the telephone call, the emergency contact
will be informed of your whereabouts via SMS
The product package GEOCARE® with wireless transmitter and
active charging cradle can be used both as stationary and mobile
emergency call system. It makes it possible for the user to have
a more autonomous lifestyle. The user has more autonomy and
mobility as he/she knows that, in the event of an emergency,
quick and professional help is just a button press away.
GEOCARE® is compatible with all common emergency call monitoring centers and can therefore be connected to most operators.

Scope of delivery
OVERVIEW
Software and manual
The delivered GEOCARE® package contains
the following components:
• GEOCARE®
• Active charging cradle
• Wireless transmitter with wristband and necklace
• AC adapter with USB-Cable
The Software for the configuration of GEOCARE®
and the appropriate manual are available online at
following internet address:
Connect the USB connector of the charging cradle to the supplied
charger adapter. Fit the required AC plug (EU or UK)* and connect
it to the power supply.
Place the GEOCARE® in the charging cradle. The GEOCARE® must be
charged before it is used for the first time. The duration for a complete charge is approx. 3 hours.
The typical battery lifetime is 30 hours. When only 20% of this lifetime is remaining, GEOCARE® emits an audible sound. From the
moment when only 10% of the battery lifetime is remaining, an
audible sound is emitted periodically every 15 minutes. Beside the
audible sounds signaling low battery when its remaining lifetime
is 20%, 10% and 0%, a notification is sent to the configured emergency contact by SMS. After the first notification, the GEOCARE® is
still operational for 3 hours, depending on the configuration.
* The AC plug is attached to the bottom of the charging adapter (it is attached and then snapped
upwards and into place). To remove the AC plug, release the catch on the bottom of the charging adapter
(OPEN).
Caution: To save energy, the illumination for all keys is switched off one
minute after the device is last used. The illumination can be reactivated
by briefly pressing the SOS key.
Switching on
To switch on GEOCARE®, hold the on/off key pressed for at least 3
seconds until the on/off key slowly flashes. Then release the on/
off key. At the end of this starting process a sound is emitted and
status lights show the operational readiness.
Alternatively, GEOCARE® will be switched on automatically when
the device is placed in the charging cradle. It then remains ready
for use until it is switched off. When GEOCARE® is in the charging
cradle, the on/off key lights up white.
Switching off
Preferably, you should always keep GEOCARE® switched on, so
that you can always trigger an emergency call and receive incoming calls. The only time you have to switch off GEOCARE® is when
you have to enter an area where the usage of mobile phones is
dangerous or prohibited (e.g. on an aircraft). To do this, keep the
on/off key pressed for at least 3 seconds until it flashes a white
light. After a brief moment an audible sound is emitted. Then both
keys no longer light. GEOCARE® is switched off.
