All the reassurance you need 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 community alarm system if it detects that you have fallen. You can also use it to manually raise an alarm call. Wearing the fall detector • Clip the fall detector to your belt or clothing in the upright position shown in the drawing.
All the reassurance you need Automatic fall detection • Green light and two "beeps" indicates 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.
All the reassurance you need Manual operation • Press the button on the fall detector to raise a manual alarm call. • The fall detector will "beep" and a red light indicates the fall detector is triggering an alarm call. • If the red light flashes on and off, the fall detector is still triggering an alarm call, but is also indicating to you that the battery needs to be replaced.
All the reassurance you need • Remember, the fall detector will only detect you falling if you are wearing it. • 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.
All the reassurance you need 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.
All the reassurance you need help you remember when the battery should be changed. • Remove battery and replace it with the new battery, remember to observe the correct orientation. When the battery is first placed in the unit an automatic test call will be generated (no lights will show and no buzzer will sound). • Replace the sliding cover and the screw. Test the fall detector by making a manual call. Inform the operator that you are making a battery test call.
All the reassurance you need Care of the fall detector • Avoid getting the fall detector wet (if it does then dry it quickly and make a manual test call to confirm it is working correctly). • If required, the fall detector may be cleaned periodically with a damp cloth and mild detergent. • It is recommended that you test the fall detector once a month: • Make a manual test call. • Tap the fall detector when it is lying down. After 5 Seconds the fall detector should beep and the green light start to flash.
