What to Expect if you Fall

If you fall and can't get up, the AutoAlert Help Button will automatically send a Help Call within
one minute. The Personal Response Associate will know that you have fallen and will come on
the line to see if you need assistance. If you cannot speak, or if you cannot be heard the Personal
Response Associate will try calling you back. If you cannot answer the phone or if the Personal
Response Associate cannot hear you, help will be sent to your home.
The AutoAlert Help Button detects standing up in the same way it detects falls. If you fall and
stand up in less than one minute, a Help Call will not be automatically generated. This allows you
to recover from falls that are not serious enough to require help. However, if you think you need
assistance - do not attempt to get up - wait to speak to the Personal Response Associate. As
always, you can still press your AutoAlert Help Button at any time.
