Preventing false alarms

If the Fall Detector notices a jolt which might

have been a fall then it will make a beeping noise

and the small light on the front of the detector

will flash green. If this happens make sure that

your fall detector is in the upright position and

the flashing green light will stop.

If your Fall Detector remains at an angle for more than 15 seconds

following a jolt it will think that you have fallen. The flashing light on the

front will change from green to red, and it will send a signal to your Telecom

telling it to make an alarm call. To cancel this call you must walk to your

Telecom, wait five seconds, and then press the

Cancel key. If the alarm call has already reached

the response center computers then the Cancel

key will not cancel the call—this is a safety

feature. If you are unable to cancel the call then

do not worry—you should never rush to your

Telecom. The response center operator who

takes your call will be pleased to hear from you.

Making an alarm call

When you want to make an alarm call using your

Fall Detector just press the alarm button on the

front. When you press this alarm button the red

light will display for about three seconds to

indicate that it is sending a message to your

Telecom telling it to make an alarm call.

Low battery. If the red light flashes on and off when you press the alarm

button on the front of your Fall Detector then this means that the battery

inside it is running low and needs to be replaced. If you raise an alarm call to a

response center using a Fall Detector with a low battery the operator is

automatically informed about the low battery in your Fall Detector.
