OPERATION
Initial Activation of Pendant & General Use
When your Pendant arrives, you must immediately call the monitoring service provider that
provided the Pendant to you and ask them to confi rm that the Pendant has been programmed
and is properly transmitting.
The Pendant also comes with a Battery Supervision Feature, aimed to identify Systems that
are not functioning, either because the battery has died, or because the Console connection
was lost. To turn the Battery Supervision Feature ON, you must press the Help Button
and hold it down for 2 seconds. When you release the Help Button, its LED indicator
fl ashes GREEN to indicate that the Battery Supervisor Feature is working and the
Pendant is active.
Pressing the button should also initiate a two-way voice communication through the
Console with your monitoring services provider. If the two-way voice communication
is not initiated when you press the button, you should call your monitoring service
provider immediately to report the problem.
Once activated, the Pendant should be worn daily and tested weekly, as further explained in
the following Important Safety and Battery Instructions section.
You must be within range of the Console in order for the Pendant to communicate with the
Console, for either emergency or low Pendant battery report.
The operating range of the Pendant is limited. The exact range of a System depends
on the type of Console and other variables, such as the local radio frequency
environment. Depending on these factors, range is expected to be approximately 300
to 500 feet line of sight. Range can be reduced by walls and other barriers. You can
ensure that you are in range at any time by pressing the button to test the system.
Please refer to the instructions included with your Console and also found in the
literature section of the following link for more information regarding the range of
your System:
www.nortekcontrol.com/manual_list1.php
The Pendant is designed to be water-resistant. Only the provided breakaway release lanyard
should be used; no other lanyard is approved for use with the Pendant.
The Pendant is sealed and the battery contained therein is not replaceable. When the
battery in the Pendant is low, the LED indicator on the Pendant will display RED, and it is
designed to send a signal to the Console, which will communicate to your monitoring service
provider that your battery is low. Your monitoring service provider should then contact you to
coordinate delivery of a replacement Pendant. As a precautionary measure, in order to
ensure that the battery does not deplete before you receive a replacement Pendant,
if you see that the light on your Pendant is RED, you should contact your monitoring
service provider to arrange for a replacement Pendant as soon as possible - DO NOT
WAIT for the monitoring service provider to contact you.
The Pendant may be worn around the neck on an adjustable lanyard. IF YOU WEAR
THE LANYARD AROUND YOUR NECK AND IT BECOMES ACCIDENTALLY
ENTANGLED, AS WITH ANY CORD WORN AROUND THE NECK, IT MAY
PRESENT A CHOKING OR STRANGULATION HAZARD THAT COULD
RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. FOR THIS REASON, USE ONLY THE
PROVIDED BREAKAWAY LANYARD. TO REDUCE RISK OF STRANGULATION,
THE PROVIDED LANYARD IS DESIGNED TO BREAK APART UNDER CERTAIN
CONDITIONS. MODIFIED, OR OTHER LANYARDS, ARE NOT TO BE USED. These
risks apply especially to subscribers who may use wheelchairs, walkers, beds with
guard rails, or similar objects such as door knobs with protrusions on which a lanyard
could become entangled. Users and caregivers should exercise care with the lanyard
to ensure it does not get caught or tangled in some such equipment or other objects.
IMPORTANT
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH TO PERSONS,
REVIEW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION PRIOR TO USE.
