• If the red light flashes on and off, the fall detector is still triggering an alarm call, but is also indicating to you that the battery needs to be replaced.

Installation and User Guide • The fall detector must be worn at or above the waist, where it will detect the maximum number of falls. • When removing the fall detector, handle carefully to avoid false calls, place it on an even surface in the upright position and preferably in the stand provided.
