Before First Use:
Ensure a fully charged SentryPal upon receipt by docking it
in the charging cradle prior to use. It may take 3 to 4 hours
to ensure a full charge. The power LED will be yellow when
charging and the power LED will turn OFF when fully charged.
After fully charging the SentryPal, it should last 48 hours before
requiring another charge.
Note: The SentryPal will automatically turn ON when placed in
the charging cradle. This might take a few minutes depending
on the status of the remaining battery charge.
Standard Settings:
• Automaticlocationupdatesevery55minutes
• Automaticlocationupdatesevery5minuteswhenthe
device is in EMERGENCY CALL mode
The SentryPal can experience extended battery standby times
when in environments that have strong GPS coverage and good
cellular coverage – typically more than 48 hours. Similarly, the
SentryPal will have lower than expected battery standby time
with either poor GPS coverage and / or poor cellular coverage.
Power ON: In order to turn the SentryPal “ON”, press and hold the power button for 3 seconds. The
SentryPal will vibrate upon startup. Within 3 seconds of turning it on the Power LED light will flash RED and
then GPS and Cellular LEDs will begin to flash which represent the SentryPal trying to connect to the GPS and
cellular networks.
Power Off: In order to turn the device “OFF”, press and hold the power button for 3 seconds. The SentryPal
will vibrate upon shutdown. Within 3 seconds of turning it off the Power LED light will flash RED and then
within 10 seconds of turning it off the GPS and Cellular LED lights will begin to flash which represent the
SentryPal trying to connect to the GPS and cellular networks prior to shutdown in order to update the last
known location. When all lights are no longer flashing, the SentryPal will have shutdown.
Low Battery Notification: A low battery notice is sent when the SentryPal reaches 30% of its total battery
capacity. This typically provides between 12 and 24 hours of notice prior to a forced shutdown of the device.
Note: If Contacts are setup to receive power ON/OFF events, then an email or text message will be sent to
the designated contacts. If current location is unknown, the SentryPal will use the last known location for this
notification.
Power
To place an EMERGENCY CALL, press and hold the
EMERGENCY CALL button for 3 seconds or until you
feel the SentryPal vibrate.
At that point the SentryPal will do the following:
1. Connect to the GPS network and retrieve
an updated location (if the GPS network is not
available it may use the last known location)
2. Connect to the cellular network to send the
EMERGENCY CALL notification
3. Begin to call the emergency operator at the
central station
Once the emergency call is answered, the operator
will begin speaking through the hands-free
speakerphone. Talk normally and hold the SentryPal
handset about 16” away from your mouth. (The
speaker and microphone are very sensitive and
should allow normal conversation from about 5 feet
from the handset.)
Emergency (EMERGENCY CALL) Button
Ending Calls
The SentryPal allows you to END
the call at any time by simply
pushing the EMERGENCY CALL
button again. This will disconnect
the call immediately.
Note: Normally, the emergency
operator will signal the SentryPal
to hang-up and reset for the next
emergency call. Normally, the user
will not have to manually hang-up
the handset.
