PAS User Manual 1. INTRODUCTION PAS BASICS 1.1 What is the PAS? The PAS, short for Personal Alert Sentry, has been issued to you for your safety. This is NOT a cell phone! Your PAS device is connected to a private wireless network encompassing the designated perimeter established for the institution that you are attending. This private network ensures that you stay informed quickly and effectively in the event of an emergency. Most features of the PAS are controlled directly by the base station.
PAS User Manual 2.2 Emergency Button The EMERGENCY button is used to send an emergency request for assistance. The EMERGENCY button is located at the top center of the PAS, and it is recessed in order to resist accidental activation. Holding the EMERGENCY button in a depressed position for at least two seconds sends an EMERGENCY request for assistance to the base station (see Sending an Emergency Request for Assistance). 2.
