AVERTISSEMENT
Risque de suffocation ou d’étranglement. La lanière pour bouton pendentif est conçue
pour se détacher lorsqu’elle est tirée, cependant, l’utilisateur peut subir une blessure ou
la mort si la lanière se mêle ou s’accroche à d’autres objets.
Press your Neck Pendant, Wrist Button, or red Emergency Button on your Base Station or
Mobile Device.
Do I need my Mobile Device when I leave my home?
Yes. Always take your Mobile Device with you when leaving your home. Wear your Neck
Pendant or Wrist Button at all times, both at home and away, so help is never out of reach.
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 notify
Emergency Response on your behalf. We will also notify the personal contacts listed on
your prole.
If I accidentally set off the alarm, what do I do?
If you accidentally set off the alarm, simply notify the Emergency Operator when they
respond that “THIS IS A FALSE ALARM.” The operator will disconnect and no further
action will be taken.
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 held responsible for any
damages caused as a result of gaining entry.
We recommend that you purchase a MobileHelp “lock box” to safely store your house key.
Your lock box code will be stored on your account and given to emergency personnel
in order to gain entry to your home without causing damage. If you have your own
lock box (not purchased from MobileHelp), please call MobileHelp Customer Service at
1-877-827-6207 to ensure your code is noted on your account.
How far away from the Base Station will my Help Buttons work?
Your Help Buttons are designed to work at an approximate range of 600 feet from the
Base Station, depending on the size and construction of your home.
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 attempt to
communicate with you through your Base Station or Mobile Device. If you are not heard,
we will assume it is an emergency and notify Emergency Response on your behalf.
Why is the Emergency Operator having trouble understanding me?
The microphones in the Base Station and Mobile Device are 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 to set up your Base Station or go
to a quieter area with your Mobile Device.
Why is my Help Button not activating my Base Station/Mobile Device?
Be sure to press the Help Button once rmly in the center to activate your Base Station
and/or Mobile Device. A small red light below the Neck Pendant or Wrist Button will ash.
If the Base Station and/or Mobile Device does not respond, check to ensure that the Help
Button is in range of the Base Station and/or Mobile Device. If you still have issues with your
system, please call 1-877-827-6207 and select Technical Support.
Is the Mobile Device waterproof?
The Mobile Device is water resistant and can be taken in the shower with you. The Help
Buttons (Neck Pendant, Wrist Button and Fall Button) are waterproof and can be submersed
in water.
What if I move to a different home, or my personal information has changed?
Please contact Customer Service at 1-877-827-6207 any time there are any changes to your
personal information, including changes to your address and phone number. Just give us a call
one week before you move to determine whether the service will be available in your area.
What if I spend part of the year in another home?
We can transfer your service to your new location. Just give us a call at 1-877-827-6207
and speak with Customer Service one week before you go to determine whether the
service will be available at your other home.
Your Mobile Device will work nationwide anywhere there is AT&T cellular coverage. We
recommend you call Customer Service at least 2 to 3 days prior to leaving, so we can
update our systems with your new location address, emergency contacts, and lock box
location. This ensures that if we have to alert emergency responders, they will have
all relevant information to assist you without delays. Please remember to bring the
following items: Neck Pendant and/or Wrist Button, Mobile Device, and Cradle Charger.
How do I prepare my device for air travel?
Your Mobile Device will need to be turned OFF. Simply hold the ON/OFF button for
approximately 2-3 seconds until the red battery light illuminates.
Is the Mobile Device lanyard adjustable?
No. Both the standard and magnetic lanyard are non-adjustable and approximately 28”
in length.
Standard lanyard: A grey breakaway lanyard will be provided to subscribers who have
pacemakers. Lanyard is approximately 28” long.
Magnetic lanyard: A grey breakaway lanyard that secures itself with magnets will be
provided to subscribers who do not wear pacemakers. Lanyard is approximately 28” long.
Can a magnetic lanyard cause interference with a pacemaker or other
medical device?
If you have a pacemaker or any medical device, consult your manufacturer for information
on any possible risk of magnetic interference with the device. Our Help Buttons do not
interfere with pacemakers.
Can I replace the Neck Pendant cord?
Yes, the Neck Pendant will work with just about any chain or cord, so you are able 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.
Can I replace the Wrist Button band?
Yes, you may replace the Wrist Button band with a standard watch band of your choice.
Can I speak into my Help Button?
No, you can communicate with the monitoring center through your Base Station and/or
Mobile Device only. Your Help Buttons do not have a speaker or microphone.
