Signal Range - Philips Lifeline Instructions For Use Manual

The signal range may be affected by environmental factors, including
building materials, large masses covering the Help Button (i.e. a person
falling on top of it) and submersion in liquid.
A Signal Range Test will determine your coverage range, which is the
distance you can move away from your Home Communicator and still
call for help. If you press your Help Button outside of your apartment,
but still within the range of the Home Communicator, help will be sent to
the location of the Home Communicator (i.e., your apartment).
Note: If you have the GoSafe Mobile Button you can call for help outside
the range of your Home Communicator when the AT&T Wireless
network is available. Help will be sent to your location. Please refer to
page 35 for further information.
Signal Range Test
You should conduct a Signal Range Test during installation, and if you
move your Home Communicator to a different location in your home.
1. Make sure that your Home Communicator is ON and that you have
your Help Button in hand.
2. PRESS and HOLD DOWN the Message button. The Home
Communicator will beep and announce: "Continue to hold the
Message button for AutoLearn. When you are ready for Range Test,
please release the Message button."
3. Release the Message button. The Home Communicator will announce:
"Please press the flashing orange Message button after you have
completed the range test. Begin Signal Range Test."
4. Press your Help Button. The Home Communicator will beep and play
a voice message and the light on your Help Button will flash green to
indicate that the Home Communicator has received the signal.
