Set Vibration alert and extended cancellation period
The VitalBase watch is designed to identify a serious fall that leads to a state of immobility and/or unconsciousness of the user.
If such a fall is detected, the detector vibrates to alert the user that it is about to send a radio alarm signal to the Lifeline home
unit. Prior to the unit vibrating, in order to reduce the number of false calls, should the user continue or start to move again
within a pre-set time limit (approx. 15 secs) after the fall, a call to the monitoring centre will not be generated. The vibration
alert then gives the user a nal warning that it is about to transmit an alarm and gives a further period in which to cancel the
alarm by moving their arm/detector. The vibration alert and extended cancellation period can now be disabled in which case
once a fall has been determined the alarm will be generated without vibrating the watch. The user’s circumstances should be
considered carefully before changing the operation of the fall detector as disabling this vibration alert and extended cancellation period will result in an increase in calls to the monitoring centre. Please note: movement after an event always remains
part of the VitalBase watch algorithm therefore movement by the user after the event may result in the VitalBase determining
the event not to be a fall.

Holding the last (3rd) press until the led turns off. Once the led turns off, release the button.
