Neck cord strangulation risk
• Any cord worn around the neck can pose a strangulation risk, including
the possibility of death and serious injuries. This may be of more
concern to wearers in wheelchairs, using walkers, using beds with guard
rails, or who might encounter other protruding objects upon which the
cord can become tangled.
• Philips Lifeline neck cords contain a special fuse designed
to breakaway under certain conditions to reduce the
remote risk of strangulation. If the neck cord breaks
apart, contact Philips Lifeline or your representative for a
replacement.
• Do not use any neck cord other than the one provided by Philips
Lifeline or your representative. Other neck cords may not provide the
feature to break apart therefore increasing the risk of strangulation.
• Do not tie a knot in your neck cord since this may prevent the break
away feature from working properly.
The AutoAlert Help Button will not work when outside the
coverage range of the Lifeline Communicator
• The AutoAlert Help Button is a radio frequency (RF) device that
transmits a signal to a compatible Lifeline Communicator. It is
important to test that the signal range covers all areas of your home
including the bathroom, basement, and garage. The Help Button will
not provide coverage outside of the range determined by the signal
range test. Refer to the Lifeline Communicator User Manual for
instructions on how to properly setup the AutoAlert Help Button with
the Communicator and test the coverage range.
• The signal range may be affected by environmental factors, including
building materials, large masses covering the AutoAlert Help Button
(e.g. a person falling on top of it) and submersion in liquid.
