Band buzz Whenever the wristband buzzes this is confirmation that an alert is about to start and an invitation for you to confirm you do not need help. If you don‘t confirm within 10 seconds there will be an automated check call (see below).

The alert sequence Once an alert has been triggered and the pre-alert checks have gone unanswered the Acticheck system starts to call your responders. Responders are the people whose contact details have been entered into the system and who have agreed to accept calls (and potentially emails) for you.

Squeeze both buttons to start an alert. After a short delay of up to 3 seconds you should feel the wristband vibrate and hear the base pre-alert sound.

Fall Detection arrives with the fall detection turned off. It is important you understand how the system works and set it to your needs. The wristband has a movement sensor that can detect movement patterns that could be a severe fall. Every fall is different and the will never detect 100% of falls.

Managing your system You are unique, and so is your network of relationships. At Acticheck we have designed the so you can have it fit your circumstances, and your dashboard is where you can customise the system to your needs.
Page 22
Fitting your wristband Your comfort is important and so is your wellbeing. The system needs to know when the wristband is being worn. The uses capacitive sensing, which relies on proximity to skin. Whilst the user initiated SOS call is always active, none of the other functions will work reliably if the wristband is not being worn next to the skin.

Fastening your wristband Rest your wristband upside down and with the holes facing away from you. Rest the top of your wrist against the orange segment. Pull the holes towards you and then wrap the other end over the top. Identify a suitable hole for the tab to fasten in and placing one finger behind, gently push through with thumb.
