User's Manual

FOR UNITED STATES INSTALLATIONS
If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone
company will notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of
service may be required. But if advance notice is not practical, the
telephone company will notify the customer as soon as possible. Also,
you will be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC if you
believe it is necessary.
The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment,
operations or procedures that could affect the operation of the equipment.
If this happens, the telephone company will provide advance notice so
that you can make the necessary modifications in order to maintain
uninterrupted service.
If trouble is experienced with this equipment, for repair and/or warranty
information contact Life Alert at 1-800-451-7858 for information or
a return product authorization (RPA). If the trouble is causing harm
to the telephone network, the telephone company may request you
remove the equipment from the network until the problem is resolved.
User repairs must not be made. Doing so voids warranty. Refer to
Monitoring Service Agreement for warranty coverage information.
IMPORTANT WIRELESS INFORMATION
Life Alert radio controls provide a reliable communications link and fill
an important need in portable wireless signaling. However, there are
some limitations which must be observed.
• For U.S. installations only: The radios are required to comply with
FCC Rules and Regulations as Part 15 devices. As such, they have
limited transmitter power and therefore limited range.
• A receiver cannot respond to more than one transmitted signal at a
time and may be blocked by radio signals that occur on or near their
operating frequencies, regardless of code settings.
SENSITIVE ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT
DO NOT install console near high precision or sensitive electronic
equipment. Failure to do so may cause nearby electronic equipment
malfunctions. The following equipment may be affected by the use
of cellular telephones, including but not limited to: hearing aids,
pacemakers, fire alarms, automatic gates and other automatic control
equipment. Users who use auxiliary medical equipment should contact
the equipment provider and confirm the effect of cellular devices on
the equipment.
MEDICAL FACILITIES
Please note the following in medical facilities:
- Please do not install the HELP PERS in an emergency room,
operating room, intensive care unit (ICU) or coronary care unit (CCU).
- Please do not install the console in the vicinity of medical equipment.
Also, please do not install the HELP PERS in medical places where the
use of a cellular phone is prohibited.
- Please note the volume level so as not to disturb patients with heart
disease or other environmentally sensitive medical conditions.
FCC STATEMENT
RF Exposure Information
The SAR limit in the USA (FCC) is 1.6 W/kg averaged over one gram
of tissue. This HELP PERS device (FCC ID: 2ABZ7-914) has been
tested against this SAR limit.
The highest SAR value reported under this standard during product
certification for use at the ear is 0.946 W/kg.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operation positions
specified by the FCC with the device transmitting at its highest certified
power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is
determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level
of the device while in operation can be well below the maximum value.
This is because the device is designed to operate at multiple power
levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In
general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the
lower the power output. Before a device model is available for sale
to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not
exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement
for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations
(e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each
model. (Body – worn measurements may differ among device models,
depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements.) While
there may be differences between the SAR levels or various devices
at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe
exposure.
For body worn operation, this device has been tested and meets
the FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with an accessory
that contains no metal. Use of other accessories may not ensure
compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.
NOTE:
This product’s IMEI label was placed in the battery compartment. It
can be accessed by removing the battery cover and removing the
batteries.
The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or TV interference
cause by the unauthorized modifications to this equipment. Such
modifications could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
