Overview Of The Guardian Alert 911:
The Guardian Alert 911 is a tiny cordless speaker phone, small enough to be worn
around your neck. It is smaller than most cell phones.
By pressing a single button, the Guardian Alert 911automatically dials the universal
911 emergency number. You will then be able to speak directly to the 911 operator
about your emergency.
It has enough range to cover most homes and even into the yard. It is NOT a cell
phone, and therefore will not work far from your home. It is designed to be used
primarily inside the home. You can use the System Check feature (see page 10) to
conrm that the PENDANT is within range of the BASE UNIT.
The Guardian Alert 911 PENDANT has its own replaceable battery. The battery
must be installed prior to use. It will last at least 6 to 12 months in standby mode.
Because the PENDANT never needs charging, it can be kept with you at all times.
We recommend that the PENDANT battery be replaced every six months.
Like most cordless phones, the Guardian Alert 911 must be plugged into a power
outlet using an AC adapter (included) to work. An optional battery backup is available which can keep the Guardian Alert 911 BASE UNIT working for up to 24 hours
in case of a power failure. It can be ordered from the Customer Service number on
the back of this manual. Ask for part number 30912.
Installing the Battery:
It is important to know that the PENDANT requires
one AAA battery. We recommend using a fresh, high
quality alkaline or lithium cell from a recognized
brand. Under normal use, the unit will remain on
standby and ready for use for at least six months.
When activated during an emergency, you can talk
for a minimum of 30 minutes. Follow the diagram
to the right to install the battery which came with
your kit.
To insure that your Guardian Alert 911 will be ready
when you need it, replace the battery every 6 months.
NOTE: The battery cover will only t eaily on the case one direction.

Locating the Base Unit:
For best results and longest range, locate the BASE UNIT in an area away
from household appliances which could present electrical interference. These
include microwave ovens, televisions, electric mixers or blenders, hairdryers,
or other cordless phones.
If more than one Guardian Alert 911 is to be used in one home, it is recommended that the BASE UNITS be located at least 10’ apart.

Connecting The Guardian Alert 911:
The Standard Connection:
No special phone line or special service is required to use your Guardian Alert

service. It works the same way as any cordless phone.
Simply plug in the AC ADAPTER and TELEPHONE LINE CORD as shown.

Caution: Do not plug the AC ADAPTER into an outlet which is controlled by a
switch. The switch could accidentally be turned off, thus rendering the BASE
UNIT inoperable.
Connecting A Second Phone
You may need to plug a conventional
telephone into same outlet used by the
Guardian Alert 911. This is done very
simply by using the telephone line
splitter (included). See illustration
on right.
If Your Home Has DSL
If your home has DSL service for your computer,
you will need to use a DSL lter in line with the
Guardian Alert 911 OR IT WILL NOT WORK.
This lter can be obtained from a local electronics supplier or your DSL service provider. See
illustration to the right.
Operating the Guardian Alert 911
About The Pendant:
The PENDANT is a tiny, cordless speaker phone. It may be worn around the neck,
on a belt using the supplied clip, or kept in your pocket.
There is a large blue button on the front of the PENDANT which activates the
system and automatically dials the 911 emergency number when pressed for more
than ½ second.
Once connected, you can speak directly with the 911 operator and explain the nature
of your emergency.

Water Resistance

Battery Check
The Guardian Alert 911 has a built-in
battery tester. When you press the button
on the bottom of the PENDANT, a voice
announcement will inform you of the
battery condition. One of the following
messages will be heard:
“Battery is OK.”
Check the battery condition once
per week.
“Replace battery soon.”
The battery should be replaced within the next few days.
“Replace battery now.”
The battery should be replaced the same day.
Please note: If there is no response after pressing the button for one second
or more, the battery is dead and must be replaced immediately.
The battery should be tested twice a month along with the
System Check outlined on the next page. If the battery is tested
every day, it will be drained much more quickly and will not
last as long.

System Check
The button on the bottom of the case which is
used to perform the BATTERY CHECK, will
also perform a SYSTEM CHECK. Press and
hold this button for more than four (4) seconds.
One of the following announcements will be
made.
“System check, OK.”
This conrms the following:
Battery status.
The PENDANT is working.
The BASE UNIT is working.
The BASE UNIT is connected to a working phone line.
The PENDANT is within range of the BASE UNIT.
“System check failed.”
This conrms one or more of the following:
The PENDANT has malfunctioned.
The BASE UNIT has malfunctioned.
The PENDANT and BASE UNIT are not communicating with each other
or are out of range.
The BASE UNIT is not connected to the phone line or can not get a dial
tone for some reason.
If you receive a “System check failed.” notication, please refer to the
TROUBLESHOOTING guide at the back of this manual to determine the
cause.
This feature is very useful - allowing you to conrm that the system has
coverage from all parts of your home. Simply walk to the various parts
of your home and push the Battery Check / System Check button until
you hear the dial tone and the “SYSTEM CHECK OK” voice prompt.
Page 11

We highly recommend that you perform this test every 2 to 4 weeks to
conrm that your system is working properly and that the pendant and
base station are in good communication and that the base station can get
a dial tone. It is also recommended to perform this system check after
a lightening storm that could damage the base station which is plugged
into the phone line.
Emergency Dialing Using the
Panic Button
In the event of an emergency, press
the blue panic button on the front of
the PENDANT. When this button is
pressed for more than ½ second, the
Guardian Alert 911 will automatically dial 911. When the emergency
response operator answers, speak
in a normal voice and you will be
heard. There is no need to put the
PENDANT up to your ear unless you
are having trouble hearing. There is
no need to hold the PENDANT up
to your mouth. You will be clearly
heard, even if the PENDANT is an
arm’s length away.
Hanging Up
You can hang up any time by pressing
the TEST BUTTON on the bottom of
the case.

to each other.
