User guide Fall Detector™ 312.
Installation and User Guide What is the fall detector? Your fall detector™ is a battery operated device containing a microprocessor, detector and a radio transmitter. It will automatically trigger an alarm call on your personal emergency response system if it detects that you have fallen. You can also use it to manually raise an alarm call.
Installation and User Guide Wearing the fall detector Clip the fall detector to your belt or clothing in the upright position shown in the drawing. It needs to be in the upright position to reduce the possibility of false activation. Correct upright position Incorrect position NOTE: An optional Belt and Holster is available (Part Number D6609001C).
Installation and User Guide Automatic fall detection • • • • • Green light and two "beeps" indicate that the fall detector has been activated. The fall detector will then monitor for between 6 and 15 seconds to verify if there could have been a fall. The green light will flash while it does this.
Installation and User Guide • • • • The fall detector must be worn at or above the waist, where it will detect the maximum number of falls. When removing the fall detector, handle carefully to avoid false calls, place it on an even surface in the upright position and preferably in the stand provided. If the fall detector does wake up and beep when you know you have not fallen, you can prevent it raising an alarm by ensuring that it is returned to an upright position.
Installation and User Guide Battery Replacement From time to time the battery will need replacing, you will know this because somebody from your monitoring service (if you have one) may inform you, or you may see the red light flashing rather than staying on continuously when a manual alarm call is made. • The unit automatically tests the battery several times within each 24 hour period. It is able to automatically generate an alarm call when low battery is detected.
