FAQs
Activate Emergency Alarm
You can call for help from either the medical Pendant or the medical Base Unit. To call for help:
Activate Alarm
- Press the button on the pendant or the [HELP] (red) button on the base alarm unit.
- The base alarm unit will beep when a call is activated.
- When the call is answered in the Monitoring Center, the base unit will beep several times.
- The Monitoring Center will then phone the medical unit and attempt to speak to the user and organise assistance if required.
- The [CANCEL] (green) button must be pressed after the call.
Cancel Emergency Alarm
To cancel an alarm call, press the [CANCEL] (green) button on the base unit within 10 seconds of activation. The alarm call will be cancelled.
Cancel an alarm
- Press the [CANCEL] key (during the pre-alarm stage only).
Power Down Medical Unit
You may need to turn off your medical unit in the event of a malfunction (where service or maintenance work has been arranged) to ensure it does not send false activations to the Monitoring Centre. You will need to contact the ambulance service (000) directly in the event of an emergency while the medical unit is off.
Turn Off
- Turn off mains power and the battery switch located underneath the alarm.
