Use volatile or corrosive substances when cleaning it, as damage caused in any of these ways is not covered by this warranty. If you have any difficulty using your Identicom, consult the user manual to check you are using it correctly.
Ability of the unit to detect when the user is incapacitated and alarm appropriately. 1 Introduction The Identicom has the appearance of a simple ID card holder. It holds your ID card and also discreetly functions as a communication device to help ensure your personal safety.

The front of the Identicom is shown below. With the ID card slid out, you can see the multifunction user buttons.
Press the Red Alert button (triangle symbol) to start or cancel a Red Alert. 2 Initial Setup This section describes how to prepare the Identicom for use, covering installation of the lanyard or lapel clip, insertion of the ID card, charging, care and maintenance and switching the device on and off. The...
Inserting your ID Card Fit your ID card into the slot at the right side of the Identicom (as you look at the front) and slide it in until it is fully inserted. To remove your card, slide the ID card towards the exit slot. You may initially feel a slight resistance until the card starts to slide out.
To check the Identicom is on, look for the power symbol in the left of the display. You can also press the Status button for 2 seconds. If the LCD and LEDs do not start flashing, the Identicom is off.
SIM Card Faults If no SIM card is fitted, or there is a fault with the SIM card, the Identicom battery and signal symbols flash red alternately for a few seconds and then switches itself into the ‘power off’ state. Please contact Connexion2 or your supplier for further assistance if this condition is present on your Identicom.
Red and Amber Alert Status If the Identicom is in an Amber Alert* state or a Red Alert state when the Status button is pressed, the LEDs change to Amber or Red for two seconds to give an indication of the state: ...
You are warned by a Pre-Alert vibration and beeps/tones from the speaker before the Man Down Red Alert is initiated. When a Red Alert is started, the Identicom gives three short bursts of vibration to confirm the state. The Identicom opens a voice call to the designated number and enables the microphone, so that your monitoring service can listen to and/or record the situation.
If you initiate a Red Alert when your unit is out of coverage, the Identicom will not be able to send the Red Alert messages, so it gives a single long vibration pulse instead of the three short pulses. This indicates that the Red Alert has not been successfully transmitted.
If you do not cancel the Man Down condition (by moving your Identicom), a Man Down Red Alert will be raised at the end of the Pre-Alert period. You will hear your Identicom make a phone call to your monitoring service and you will then be able to talk to the operator via the loudspeaker within the unit.
Receive a phone call Making a Call Identicom can have a phone number assigned to each of the buttons. When you press and hold the button for more than 1.5 seconds, the Identicom will call the assigned button and you will hear the Identicom dialling and ringing the called number.
8 GPS Operation 8 GPS Operation Identicom model 977 can be configured so that a GPS location request is made in any or all of the following situations: When you press any of the Identicom buttons When you check the status of your Identicom ...
9 Identicom Indicators 9 Identicom Indicators The following tables summarise the indications given by Identicom, both by the LCD/LEDs and by the different patterns of vibration. LCD/LED indications Device state Symbol Meaning On charge 1 battery cell (flash) Red (flash)
Identicom offers the facility of using vibration patterns to indicate activation of the Status Check, confirmation that neither the network coverage nor battery strength LED is red, and confirmation that a valid GPS location fix was obtained. This function aids the use of Identicom to the visually impaired.
R&TTE Directive quotes a maximum SAR value of 2 W/kg. This value includes a substantial margin of safety. The Identicoms are therefore below this limit and actual Identicom SAR values during normal operation are often further below their maximum stated values.

10 Technical Specifications Use of Identicom in Restricted Areas Use of Identicom, as with mobile phones, should be in accordance with regulations, protocols and stipulations relating to the specific environment. Where the use of mobile phones is prohibited, the Identicom should be turned off. There may be risks associated with interference with equipment sensitive to RFEE (such as aircraft, hospitals and healthcare facilities) or potentially explosive environments (such as petrol stations and chemical plants).
