Step 4. User Auto Test
You can use the test button on your Cellular Base Station to make sure your system
is working without placing a call to the emergency response center.
To test your cellular base station:
Press and hold the test button for 3 seconds.
After the button lights up green, the Base Station will announce “user auto-test.”
The Base Station will instruct you to “press emergency button or pendant.”
Once you push a button, it will say “test call sent to emergency response center”
several times.
Next you will hear an announcement thanking you for testing your device.
And finally it will say “user auto-test completed.”
If you did push your button when prompted to do so and the Base Station
announced “user auto-test failed, please contact support” please contact our
technical support department at 1-877-827-6207.
If you did not push your button when prompted to do so, the Base Station will still
announce “user auto-test failed, please contact support.” However, since you did
not push your button when prompted to do so, there is no reason to contact support.

Step 5. Live Operator Test: Testing Your Help Buttons
Press the wrist or neck button firmly once.
The button’s red light turns on indicating a signal was sent to
the Base Station.
Your Base Station will say “call in progress” several times.
When the call goes through it will say “Please stand by for
operator.”
Then an emergency operator will communicate with you
through the Base Station.
Please state clearly to the operator that “THIS IS A
TEST.” If you do not explain to the operator that you are
testing your unit, emergency help will be dispatched.
Remember you can also test your help buttons, using the auto test button on your
Base Station.
Note: It is important that you test your system at least once a month. The
test
button light on your Base Station will flash green repeatedly within one (1) month
of the last button press letting you know when it is time for you to test your system.

B
ase Station Frequently Asked Questions
How do I call for help?
Press the pendant help button OR press the RED EMERGENCY button on your
Base Station. Your help button will activate the Base Station. The Base Station will say
“call in progress” several times, indicating that the signal from the help button has been
received. The Base Station will send your unique information to the emergency
response center. When this is done, your Base Station will announce “please stand by
for operator.” Then you will hear an operator asking if you are okay. If you are able to
speak, please provide your status.
What happens if I push the button but I can’t speak?
If you are unable to speak or be heard, we will assume it is an emergency and dispatch
help through the closest available public emergency responders and then notify your
personal contacts listed on your profile.
If I accidentally set off the alarm, what do I do?
If you accidentally set off the alarm, let the alarm go through then simply inform the
emergency operator that this is a “false alarm.” The operator will disconnect and
no further action will be taken.
Page 14
MobileHelp Cellular Classic System User Guide

Why is the emergency operator having trouble understanding me?
The microphone in the Base Station is very sensitive, and will pick up surrounding
noises from your television, radio, wind from ceiling fans, and the like. To increase the
quality of the call, look for a quieter area for your Base Station.
Can I replace the neck pendant cord?
Yes, it will work
with just about any chain or cord, so feel free to use any one of
your personal chains or necklaces. However the risk of choking may increase if you
do not use the lanyard provided by MobileHelp.
Does the Wrist Button strap contain any latex?
No, the strap MobileHelp uses is silicon based with no latex co
ntent.
Can I replace the wrist button band?
Yes, you may replace the wrist button band with a standard watch band of your choice.
Why is my help button not activating my Base Station?
Be sure to press the help button once firmly in the center to activate your Base Station.
A small red light below the pendant or wrist button will flash. If the Base Station does not
respond, check to ensure that the help button is in range of the Base Station. If you still
have issues with your system, call our customer support team at 1-877-827-6207 and
select the technical support option.

No, you can communicate with the monitoring center through your Base Station. Your
help buttons do not have a speaker or microphone.
What happens if I push my help button but cannot get to the Base Station?
If you push your help button, stay where you are. An emergency operator will communicate
with you through your Base Station.
What if I move to a different home or apartment?

move to determine if cellular coverage will be available at your new location.

Can two people in the same household both use the system?

es, two people in the same household can use the system by sharing your help buttons.
You just need to call us and let us know, so we can include the other subscriber’s
information
on your personal profile.
What if I moved or my personal information has changed?
Please contact Customer Support at 1-877-827-6207 any time there are any changes to
your personal info
rmation, including changes to your a
ddress and phone number.
Why is the Base Station test button flashing green?
The test button on your Base Station will flash green repeatedly to alert you that it is time
for you to test your system. When this happens, use the auto test button (see page 8) or
do a live operator test (see page 9). Upon completing your test, the button will stop
flashing.

How will an Emergency Response team get into my home?
Rescue personnel follow different procedures. In most cases, emergency personnel
are authorized to break into
your home to help you and cannot be responsible for any
damages as a result of gaining entry.
We recommend that you purchase a MobileHelp “lock box” to safely store your house
key. Your lockbox code will be stored on your account and given to emergency personnel
to gain entry to your home without
damage. If you have your own lock box (not purchased
from MobileHelp), please call MobileHelp Customer Support at 1-877-827-6207 to
ensure your code is noted on your account.
