Wireless Panic Pendant

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

The WLS918 Wireless Panic Pendant is a device
designed to transmit an emergency signal from any
location within the range of the alarm system with which
it is used. Signals from the pendant will be transmitted
whether your alarm system is armed or disarmed.

The pendant can be attached to a lanyard or a belt clip.
The unit is even small and lightweight enough to be
placed in a shirt pocket or tucked inside a purse. The
pendant is also water resistant.

Signals will not be transmitted if the pendant is

not within the range of the wireless receiver.

To activate an alarm, press and hold both large outer

buttons for two seconds.

If the cap is not replaced, the LED will remain on

until the cap is restored.

Components of the WLS918

The WLS918 is made up of the following components:

• Cap - whether it is the tear away cap with attached lanyard (neck strap)
or the cap with attached belt clip.

• Rubber Boot - this boot adds water resistance to the product and
provides a soft grip to be able to easily grab the unit to tear it away or
push the activation buttons

• Clear Plastic Housing - the plastic housing holds the circuit board of
the WLS918 and is put inside the rubber boot

• LED - (Light indication) - the LED is used to indicate various conditions
of the pendant and can be seen through the side of the clear plastic
housing that is not covered by the rubber boot.

• Lithium battery - the WLS918 is powered by a user replaceable lithium
battery

seconds. Once the test transmission signal from the pendant has been
received by the alarm system and the pendant’s battery condition is normal,
the Ready light of the keypad will turn OFF for approx. 5 seconds.

3. If the pendant’s battery is low, the keypad Trouble (yellow) Light will turn ON
and a series of continuous keypad beeps will be heard.

Signals will not be received and processed if the pendant is not within
range of the alarm system.
