// USER GUIDE
Alerts
Alert messages are configured for Loner 900 through the Loner Portal web app. Loner
Portal displays alerts and they can be sent via email and SMS to safety monitoring
personnel.
Understanding Alerts
An alert is a message that communicates a device or system level event, such as an
Emergency Alert or a Low Battery Alert. Depending on the priority level of the Alert, different action must be taken by safety-monitoring personnel.
Alert
Explanation
Emergency alert
Loner 900 sends an Emergency Alert if the Emergency
Latch has been opened;
Silent alert
Loner 900 sends a Silent Emergency alarm if the acknowledge button is pressed for 3 seconds.
Fall detected alert
Loner 900 sends a Fall Detected Alert when the device has
detected a fall AND you have not canceled the pending
message within 30 seconds.
No-motion alert
Loner 900 sends a No-motion Alert when the device does
not detect motion for 2 minutes AND you have not canceled the pending message within 30 seconds.
Missed check-in alert
Loner 900 sends a Missed Check-in alert when you have
not checked in during the pre-configured check-in period
and you have not cancelled the pending alarm.
Low-battery
notification
Loner 900 sends a Low Battery Alert if the internal battery
level falls below 20% by default.
™™ For No-motion alert, options from 0 – 30 minutes are available. (0 Indicates the feature
is disabled.)
Confirmation of Alerts
Loner 900 will activate a yellow light on the left and right sides of the indicator light array
when a monitoring center has acknowledged an alarm sent by the Loner 900. Once the
monitoring center has resolved the alarm, the light will shut off. If an alarm is generated
while the confirmation light is on, the light will reset (turn off ) until the new alarm has
been acknowledged.
13
Initiating an Emergency Alert (Emergency Latch Use)
If you are in an emergency situation, perform the following:
1. Open the Emergency Latch.
Loner 900 will instantly send an Emergency Message to Loner Background Services.
Loner 900 will annunciate the high alarm pattern to notify others nearby of the event.
™™ The alarm pattern on Loner 900 will continue until the Emergency Alert has been canceled or the battery is depleted.
™™ Another Emergency Alert will not occur until the Emergency Alert has been canceled.
Silencing Emergency Alert (Emergency Latch Use)
1. Return the Emergency Latch to the closed position.
2. Press and hold the Acknowledge Button for 3 seconds.
After three seconds, the alarm pattern will be silenced and Loner 900 will return to
regular operation.
™™ If the user silences an Emergency Alert, this does not cancel the alert within the Loner
Portal user account. Monitoring personnel are required to address the safety incident.
Initiating a Silent Emergency Alert
If you are in an emergency situation where you would prefer to not alert others in the area
(a silent emergency), perform the following:
1. Push and hold the acknowledge button for 5 seconds.
Loner 900 will vibrate for 3 seconds, pause and then vibrate for 2 more seconds. A
Silent Emergency Message will be sent to monitoring personnel.
™™ Loner 900 will NOT locally annunciate the alarm pattern (it will remain silent).
™™ Loner 900 will return to normal operation. You cannot cancel the Silent Emergency.
Monitoring personnel are required to address the safety incident.
Motion/Activity Monitoring
Loner 900 is constantly monitoring your motion. If Loner 900 has not detected motion for
five minutes, it will enter the alarm mode and annunciate the low alarm pattern to indicate a pending No-motion alert. If you do not require assistance, you have 30 seconds to
cancel the alert.
™™ The time window and sensitivity of the No-motion Alarm are custom configurable in
the Loner Portal.
14

About True Fall Detection®
Loner 900 is constantly monitoring your motion for falls. If Loner 900 detects a fall, it will
enter the pending alarm mode and annunciate the low alarm pattern to indicate a pending
Fall Detected alert. If you do not require assistance, you have 30 seconds to cancel the alert.
Performance Expectations of the Fall Detection System
Loner 900 utilizes a gyroscope and accelerometer to determine the motion of normal human activity and thus determines when an extreme event occurs, such as a fall.
Accuracy of the system depends on you wearing Loner 900 on the belt at the hip. Wearing
the Loner 900 anywhere else may result in more false fall alarms.
Cancelling a Pending Fall Detected Alert
1. Press the acknowledge button for 1 second during the pending fall detect alarm.
After one second, the alarm pattern will be silenced and Loner 900 will return to
regular operation.
15

Silencing a Fall Detected Alert
1. Press and hold the acknowledge button for 3 seconds.
After three seconds, the pending alarm pattern will be silenced and the Loner 900
will return to regular operation.
™™ If the user cancels a fall detected alert, this does not clear the alert within the Loner
Portal user account. Monitoring personnel are required to address the safety incident.
About Checking In
Loner 900 can be configured in Loner Portal to have you periodically check in. During the
Check-in period, Loner 900 will enter the alarm mode and annunciate the pending low

blinking
Loner is not connected
to the Loner Portal
Ensure Bridge is turned On (It may
take up to 2 minutes after power-on
to connect.); Ensure Bridge has lineof-sight view to the sky to connect
our satellite.
Lots of false
fall alarms
Loners fall detect algorithm is being tripped
Desensitize the fall detect settings in
the portal. You can raise the threshold from the default 3.5 to reduce
false alarms.
Too many Nomotion alarms
The No-motion alarm can be made
less sensitive. The time window can
also be changed through the Loner
