1. INTRODUCTION PAS BASICS
1.1 What is the PAS?
The PAS, short for Personal Alert Sentry, has been issued to you for your safety. This is
NOT a cell phone! Your PAS device is connected to a private wireless network
encompassing the designated perimeter established for the institution that you are
attending. This private network ensures that you stay informed quickly and effectively in
the event of an emergency.
Most features of the PAS are controlled directly by the base station. In the event that it is
necessary to alert you with an important message, the device may begin beeping, flashing
the display, or vibrating the entire device, or a combination of the three. Which
combinations of these alerts occur is entirely dependent on the selection of the operator at
the base station, and can vary depending on the situation characteristics.
Possession of your PAS device may be mandatory in order to gain entry to some
installations.
The PAS also serves as a means of primary identification while present on grounds.
1.2 How do I turn the PAS “on”?
The PAS device is an always-on, always-connected device, and no actions are necessary to
turn the device “on”. The PAS is equipped with several user buttons for interacting with it
(see next section, “Interacting with the PAS”). To begin interaction with the PAS, it is
necessary to press both menu buttons at the same time. Upon doing this, the screen
should light up and the main menu should appear.
1.3 How do I “wake up” my PAS?
When your “PAS” is not being used, the screen will shut down. The device will need to be
picked up. Then hold down the two arrows on the front of the PAS device for 2 seconds to
wake it up.
NOTE: It is NOT necessary to press both buttons first before sending an emergency request
for assistance.
2. INTERFACING WITH THE PAS
2.1 Performance Expectations
Interacting with the PAS is intended to be simple and effective. There are a total of three
user buttons on the device: the EMERGENCY, left scroll, and right scroll button.
