HomeFree Systems Ltd VST 800 User Manual 21. Foreword The Personal Watcher (VST 800) is a wristwatch, which contains an integral transmitter. The transmitter is transmitting identification signals, which are used to either locate the client’s location within an area covered by a local positioning system, or monitor his/her location and movement status at home. The Personal Watcher enables the user to send a distress alarm signal with a simple press of a button. The Personal Watcher (VST 800) is transmitting on an American FCC tested and approved frequency, whereas the European version (VST 800-2) is transmitting on an European tested and approved frequency. From a user interface and function point of view the two models are identical; therefore this user manual serves both versions.
