OPERATION

Initial Activation of Pendant & General Use

When your Pendant arrives, you must immediately call the monitoring service provider that provided the Pendant to you and ask them to conﬁ rm that the Pendant has been programmed and is properly transmitting. The Pendant also comes with a Battery Supervision Feature, aimed to identify Systems that are not functioning, either because the battery has died, or because the Console connection was lost. To turn the Battery Supervision Feature ON, you must press the Help Button

and hold it down for 2 seconds. When you release the Help Button, its LED indicator ﬂ ashes GREEN to indicate that the Battery Supervisor Feature is working and the Pendant is active. Pressing the button should also initiate a two-way voice communication through the Console with your monitoring services provider. If the two-way voice communication is not initiated when you press the button, you should call your monitoring service provider immediately to report the problem.

Once activated, the Pendant should be worn daily and tested weekly, as further explained in the following Important Safety and Battery Instructions section. You must be within range of the Console in order for the Pendant to communicate with the Console, for either emergency or low Pendant battery report.

The operating range of the Pendant is limited. The exact range of a System depends on the type of Console and other variables, such as the local radio frequency environment. Depending on these factors, range is expected to be approximately 300 to 500 feet line of sight. Range can be reduced by walls and other barriers. You can ensure that you are in range at any time by pressing the button to test the system. Please refer to the instructions included with your Console and also found in the literature section of the following link for more information regarding the range of your System:

www.nortekcontrol.com/manual_list1.php

The Pendant is designed to be water-resistant. Only the provided breakaway release lanyard should be used; no other lanyard is approved for use with the Pendant. The Pendant is sealed and the battery contained therein is not replaceable. When the battery in the Pendant is low, the LED indicator on the Pendant will display RED, and it is designed to send a signal to the Console, which will communicate to your monitoring service provider that your battery is low. Your monitoring service provider should then contact you to coordinate delivery of a replacement Pendant. As a precautionary measure, in order to

ensure that the battery does not deplete before you receive a replacement Pendant, if you see that the light on your Pendant is RED, you should contact your monitoring service provider to arrange for a replacement Pendant as soon as possible - DO NOT WAIT for the monitoring service provider to contact you.

WARNING

The Pendant may be worn around the neck on an adjustable lanyard. IF YOU WEAR THE LANYARD AROUND YOUR NECK AND IT BECOMES ACCIDENTALLY ENTANGLED, AS WITH ANY CORD WORN AROUND THE NECK, IT MAY PRESENT A CHOKING OR STRANGULATION HAZARD THAT COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. FOR THIS REASON, USE ONLY THE PROVIDED BREAKAWAY LANYARD. TO REDUCE RISK OF STRANGULATION, THE PROVIDED LANYARD IS DESIGNED TO BREAK APART UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS. MODIFIED, OR OTHER LANYARDS, ARE NOT TO BE USED. These

risks apply especially to subscribers who may use wheelchairs, walkers, beds with guard rails, or similar objects such as door knobs with protrusions on which a lanyard could become entangled. Users and caregivers should exercise care with the lanyard to ensure it does not get caught or tangled in some such equipment or other objects.

IMPORTANT

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH TO PERSONS,

REVIEW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION PRIOR TO USE.

Additional Testing Information

• Emergency Reporting Systems such as this are not a replacement for regular contact with caregivers or access to an alternative means of placing an emergency call.

• To ensure the System is working properly make sure to TEST IT WEEKLY.

• DO NOT take the Pendant out of range.

• The Pendant is designed to be water-resistant. Usage other than as directed may result in the inability to place a call during an emergency.

• DO NOT modify or dismantle the Pendant or Console at any time, as this could affect its functionality. The battery is not designed to be removed or replaced (see Battery information above for more details). There is a risk of explosion if the battery is tampered with, or manipulated in any way.

Activating the Pendant

The Pendant can be activated by pressing the Help Button when help is needed. To ensure sending a compatible signal, press the Pendant’s Help Button for a minimum of 2 seconds. The System will provide a siren and spoken voice prompts to alert the user that the “Emergency” call is being placed.

Canceling an Emergency Report

If you press the Help Button by mistake, you can cancel the emergency report by either conﬁ r ming during the two-way voice veriﬁ cation with the monitoring service provider that you do not need assistance, or otherwise contacting the monitoring service provider to cancel the emergency.

Important Safety and Battery Instructions

TEST THIS SYSTEM WEEKLY: If the Pendant battery is depleted, or the Console is not connected, the System will not be able to communicate the need for assistance. We strongly recommend that you test this equipment at least weekly to ensure the System is working properly. To test the System, press the Help Button on your Pendant and make sure that you get a verbal response from your monitoring service provider over the two-way voice veriﬁ cation. If you do not get a verbal response, call your monitoring service provider to report the problem and arrange for service. For further information on testing and the operation of the System, consult the more detailed instructions contained in the literature section of the following link:

www.nortekcontrol.com/manual_list1.php

Also see information above regarding Battery Supervisor Feature.

✓ NOTE: Use of this feature is NOT a substitute for weekly testing of Pendant.

The operating range of the Pendant is limited. In order for the Pendant’s low battery signal to be communicated to the Console and the monitoring service provider, it must be within range. If the Pendant is out of range for an extended period of time, it is possible that the Pendant battery could die without being able to effectively communicate a low battery signal to the Console and your monitoring service provider. Therefore you SHOULD NOT let the Pendant get out of range.
