Good Vibrations Receiver

Model # GV 1097-2

General

The n e w Silent Call Good VibrationsTM , receiver is a body worn portable alerting device with vibrating and visual alerts. It is used in
conjunction with any Silent Call transmitter such as the telephone, doorbell, smoke detector and/or sound monitor. When this receiver
detects a signal from a Silent Call transmitter, it activates its vibrator with a predetermined output pulses for each type signal and
illuminates the associated top panel LED.

Operation

Switch the Good Vibrations receiver on by moving the power switch to the ON position. Notice that the Phone (green LED) will blink
3 times and go out indicating that power has been applied. The unit will then turn on the Fire LED and the vibrator pulse
continuous short pulses signaling the last alarm that was received as this is the factory default test used. These are a couple of
the distinguishing features of the new revised Good Vibration. Another is the pushbutton used for programming that replaced the dip
switch. Each time the Good Vibration receives a signal from a Silent Call transmitter with a matching code; the Good Vibrations
receiver will vibrate a particular type pulse and illuminate the associated LED. The LED indication will r em ai n on until the vibrator
pulse pattern has been completed. Switching the On / Off switch from off to on activates the recall function which will turn on the
LED and send the vibrator pulses of the last transmitter alert the receiver received. The Good Vibrations receiver battery may be tested
by moving the power switch momentarily to the TEST position.

The Good Vibrations receiver is supplied with a rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride 9V battery. In normal operation, the unit will
function for approximately two to three days per charge. However, for the most reliable operation, recharge the battery each night
when you go to bed. Also, do not leave the unit on when you are not using it as the battery can be damaged by running it completely
down. Not all “9V” rechargeable batteries are the same, and we recommend you purchase replacement batteries from Silent Call.
Although it is not recommended, the Good Vibrations receiver may be operated with a standard alkaline battery. However, if y ou u se
an alkaline battery YOU MUST NEVER ATTEMPT TO RECHARGE THE BATTERY. Doing so will cause the battery to burst and
destroy the Good Vibrations circuitry, voiding the warranty.

Programming

The Good Vibrations receiver can be set to respond to one or more different transmitter codes. Your Good Vibrations receiver and all
transmitters leave the factory already programmed for the factory default code. The Good Vibrations does NOT need to be
programmed unless you have changed the code on your transmitters. In that case, simply set all transmitters to a different code (any
combination of on and off positions except all on or all off), erase the code memory in the Sidekick, and then reprogram the Good
Vibrations receiver as follows:

NOTE:
Your Good Vibration receiver and all transmitters leave the factory already programmed for the factory default code. The
Good Vibrations does NOT need to be programmed unless you have changed the code on your transmitters.

The Silent Call alerting system is digitally coded. Each Silent Call transmitter contains a nine position code switch. Positions 1
through 5 on the transmitter set the address. If the transmitter has the 9 position dip switch LEAVE POSITIONS 6, 7, 8, AND 9 AS
IS. .Position 6 through 9 set the type of alert function and does not require programming. The Good Vibration receiver can be
set to respond to one or more different transmitter codes. All Silent Call transmitters and receivers leave the factory set to the default
code of 1=off, 2=off, 3=off, 4=on, 5=on. This code does not need to be changed unless your system is within 100-200 feet of another
Silent Call system. In that case, simply set all transmitters to a different code (any combination of on and off positions except all on or
all off), erase the code memory in the Good Vibration, and then reprogram the Good Vibration receiver as follows:

To erase all programmed codes:

1. Turn the Good Vibration off.

2. Open the access battery door on the back of the Good Vibration and locate the PROGRAM button.

3. Press and hold the PROGRAM button. While pressing the program button, turn the Good Vibration on, hold on until all LEDs

light and then release the PROGRAM button. This will erase all codes in the Good Vibration’s memory.

To program a new code:

1. With the Good Vibration turned ON, press the program button. All four LEDs will illuminate. Hold the program button until the

LEDs go out (about 8 seconds). Release the button and the LEDs will come back on to indicate that the Good Vibrations receiver
is in program mode. It will remain in program mode for approximately 30 seconds and the LEDs will go out one at a time to
indicate the time remaining. While in program mode, the Good Vibrations will memorize the code of the first transmitter it
receives and then exit program mode.

2. While the Good Vibration receiver is in program mode, press the button on any Silent Call transmitter that has been set to the

desired system code. When the Good Vibration receiver receives the coded transmitted signal, it will memorize the code, exit
program mode and indicate the function of the transmitter. The Good Vibration receiver can memorize an unlimited number of
system codes.

3. Note that you do not have to program the Good Vibration receiver with every transmitter in your system as long as all transmitters

are set to the same code.

Programmed codes are retained in memory even when the Good Vibrations battery is removed.
