    Personal emergency signal functions Will-independent emergency signal functions Time sequence Any will-independent alarm results in the transmission of the alarm to the personal emergency signal centre as soon as the alarm condition occurs and the programmed delay and pre-alarm time have expired. You can stop the transmission of the alarm if you eliminate the alarm condition during the delay and pre-alarm time, or if you ack- nowledge the pre-alarm during the pre-alarm time.
