WRISTBAND
The Wristband is waterproof and
designed to be worn at all times. It
senses motion and communicates
wirelessly with the Clip and the Dock.
CLIP
The Clip lives on the Dock at home and
is worn or carried when out. It utilizes
the latest location and communication
technology to talk to the systems.
DOCK
The Dock charges the devices
and communicates wirelessly with
them, displaying Clip and Wristband
battery charge levels and helping
find a lost Clip.

INTRODUCTION
!
WELCOME
TO
LINK–MOBILE
Care Innovations™ created Link–Mobile to help people
summon and receive help within the early minutes after a
life-threatening event like a stroke, car accident, heart attack
or fall. Timely response can mean recovering faster and
suffering less severe complications.
Link–Mobile pairs a cellular Communications Clip to a discreet
Wristband. The Wristband, which may be comfortably worn
day and night, can be set to manually or automatically trigger
a notification to be sent to friends, neighbors, and loved
ones or directly to our 24-hour a day Emergency Response
Center. The Communications Clip is a pocket-sized device,
so it is easy to take along when you leave home. Carry it in
a purse, wear it on a belt, or clip it to a car’s lap seat belt
when driving. In the event of an incident, your notification,
along with your location, will be sent automatically to the
Emergency Response Center, and a text message and
email will be sent to listed Alert contacts, enabling the
Communications Clip to receive calls.
In addition to being ready to request help in an emergency,
Wearers can view their daily activity and set personal goals
to encourage healthful movement and other activities.
Immediate access to help minimizes the concern of not
being able to reach out in an emergency.

INITIAL
SET-UP
Prior to using your Link–Mobile system for the first time, it
is important to charge all components fully. This will take
approximately three hours.
To charge the system, plug one end of the white charging
cable into the Dock, and insert the other end of the cable
into the AC power adaptor. Plug the AC power adaptor into
an electrical outlet.
To charge the components of your Link–Mobile system, first
place the Wristband on the charging Dock, then place the
Communications Clip on the charging Dock, as shown in
the photo. The LEDs in the Wristband and Communications
Clip will briefly light green when properly seated.
!
When you are at home, the Clip can be left on the Dock
and will always be charging. The Night Mode button on the
Dock allows you to dim the LEDs at night. Should the Clip
be misplaced while in the range of the Dock, pressing the
Find Clip button on the dock will cause the Clip to send out
!

a locator tone. There is a battery level indicator on the Dock
in front of each component’s charging slot. The battery icons
on the Dock show how much charge your components have,
even when the components are not attached.
All battery level indicator bars will be green and will no
longer roll when the system is fully charged.

FITTING THE
WRISTBAND
The waterproof Wristband is so comfortable it can be worn
around the clock, even when you sleep. To get the most
comfortable and stylish fit, you can customize its size.
Before fitting your Wristband, you will need to have the
following items available to you: scissors, Phillips head
screwdriver, and pencil or pen. Begin by cutting the paper
ruler from the bottom of the Quick Start Guide.
CAUTION: Before cutting the Wristband, confirm that it
works by completing your initial set-up and testing with the
Customer Care call center.
1. To get a measurement for the size of your Wristband,
wrap the paper ruler around your wrist and note the inch
measurement that best indicates a loose, comfortable
fit. Your Wristband should fit snugly enough so you feel
the vibrations when the alert is activated without having
it feel too tight. Because your wrist size can fluctuate
throughout the day due to changes in temperature, your
circulation, and the medications you take, you need to
experiment a bit.

2. Set the paper ruler on a flat surface and place the
Wristband next to it. Ensure that the center of the
Wristband is aligned with the middle of your paper ruler
measurement. Mark both ends of your measurement
onto the Wristband (using a pen or pencil) to indicate
where you will need to cut.
3. To best customize the fit of your Wristband, cut just a little
off each end at first and wear it at least twenty-four hours.
Remember, if it’s too big, you can always trim it shorter,
but you can’t add length back.
4. Fit a clasp onto each end of the Wristband strap with the
plain side facing outwards. While you’re experimenting
with the fit, simply attach the silver clasps without
pressing down on the locking tabs.
5. Once you have determined the right fit for you, press
down the locking tabs on the clasps until they tightly
bite into the Wristband. (You may use a screwdriver as
leverage for this step.)
6. The two metal clasps on the Wristband connect
magnetically. To undo it, apply light pressure on either of
the dots and lift/twist upward on the edge without a dot.

TESTING COMMUNICATION
BETWEEN
THE
WRISTBAND
AND
THE COMMUNICATIONS
CLIP
For proper operation, your Wristband needs to be in range
of the Communications Clip. This works best at distances
less than 150 feet in open air, but this range can diminish
based on obstacles such as
walls, doors, construction
materials, and other
electronic systems.
To test if the Wristband is in range of the
Clip, press and hold one button (either) on
the Wristband for one second.
!
If you are within range of the
Communications Clip, the Wristband will vibrate once and
the LED will flash green three times. If the Wristband is too
far from the Clip, the Wristband LED will flash red and an
Alert will be sent to your emergency contacts. If the LED
flashes red when in close proximity to the Clip, refer to the
Troubleshooting Section for resolution.
TESTING COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE
CLIP
AND
THE
MOBILE
PHONE
NETWORK
The Link–Mobile Communications Clip needs
a cellular network signal to operate properly.
To test cellular network strength, press and
hold either button on the Clip for one second
or until a short and long vibration pulse can be felt.
!
Within a few seconds, the LED will flash green where the
number of flashes indicates relative cellular signal strength:
• Three flashes: strong signal
• Two flashes: average signal
• One flash: weak, but usable signal
• If the LED flashes red, refer to the Troubleshooting
Section.

USING LINK–MOBILE TO SEND
AN ALERT FOR
HELP
Link–Mobile can send an Alert for help
in two ways:
• Manual — The Wearer intentionally
pinches the Wristband or Clip buttons
to request help
12
USING
!
!
!
•
Automatic
— The Link–Mobile Wristband senses a
possible fall
!
MANUAL
ALERT
You can send a request for help by squeezing both buttons
at the same time on either the Communications Clip or
the Wristband until they device vibrates and the LED
flashes blue. In acknowledgement of your request, both
the Clip and Wristband vibrate and the LED pulses blue
continuously. The Clip sends an Alert signal to the Help
Center computers. Depending on your service plan
(Personal, Personal with Escalation or Professional), this
Alert signal either:
1. Sends an SMS* and email to your designated Alert
contacts — (Personal)
2. Sends an SMS and email to your designated emergency
contacts and then waits four minutes for an
acknowledgement** before escalating to the Emergency
Response Center — (Personal with Professional Escalation)
3. Directly alerts the Emergency Response Center of your
need for assistance — (Professional)
* When your emergency contact receives this SMS, message rates
may apply.
** Acknowledgments are performed by emergency contacts who
follow a link in the SMS or Alert email within the time allowed.

TYPES OF
ALERTS
Your Link–Mobile system sends Alerts when the Wearer
manually requests help by squeezing the buttons on the
Wristband or Clip or when the Wristband senses
movement indicative of a fall.!When calling the Emergency
Response Center the following message will be spoken
from the Clip “For proper use, hold your Clip up in front of
you.”
Clip or
Wristband
Alert — When the Emergency
Response Center Agent sees an Alert, the Agent will call
the Wearer via the Clip to ascertain their needs and then
seek to arrange the appropriate assistance. Per the
Wearer’s predefined sequence, emergency contacts will
be notified by phone. If help is needed from local
emergency service providers (police, ambulance, fire,
EMT), the Agent will contact them on behalf of the Wearer.
If the Emergency Response Center Agent cannot make
contact with or hear the Wearer, a call will be made to the
emergency contacts in the order listed in the Wearer’s
profile. When the call to the Communications Clip has
ended, the Link–Mobile Communications Clip will
automatically be reset by the Help Center computers, ready
to work again when needed. A tone on the Clip will indicate
the voice communications session has ended.
Automatic
Fall Alert — If the Wristband detects an
event such as an abrupt shock or rapid change in
acceleration, the Link–Mobile system is designed to
interpret this as a potential fall. Both the Wristband and the
Clip will vibrate and the LED on both will flash blue
continuously.
If in range, the Wristband will send an Alert to the
Communications Clip, which then sends an Alert signal to
the Help Center computers over the cellular network.
14
USING
!
!
Depending on your service plan, this Alert signal triggers
one of three actions:
1. An SMS and email are sent to your designated
emergency contacts
2. An SMS and email are sent to your designated
emergency contacts. If no acknowledgment** is received,
the Emergency Response Center is contacted.
3. The Emergency Response Center is directly alerted of
your need for assistance
** Acknowledgments are performed by emergency contacts who
follow a link in the SMS or Alert email within the time allowed.
!
Cancelling
an
Automatic
Fall
Alert
1. If an Alert is triggered accidentally, it can be cancelled
before the Alert signal is sent to the Help Center
computers. To cancel an Alert, within 20 seconds,
squeeze and hold both buttons on either the Clip or the
Wristband until the LED on both units briefly flashes
green and then goes out.
2. NOTE: As a safety feature to protect a confused Wearer,
if both buttons are squeezed three or more times within
thirty seconds, the Alert cannot be cancelled and will be
sent to the Help Center computers. This will be treated as
an Alert and, depending on your service plan, predefined
response actions will follow.
In
addition,
Link–Mobile can trigger an Alert to be sent to
emergency contacts (SMS and email notifications) on other
monitored events including:
Low Battery — If Clip or Wristband battery levels are too
low, the LED on the respective device will flash amber
intermittently until the unit is placed on the Dock and
battery levels recover. NOTE: Please allow three hours
for a full charge.
!
Out of Range — If the Clip cannot communicate with the
cellular network or the Wristband cannot communicate
with the Clip, the LED on the respective device will pulse
red twice every five seconds. The red flashing LED will
go out when communications are restored.
15
USING
!
!
Activity
— If the activity measured by the Wristband is
either above or below a threshold set in the Link–Mobile
Dashboard, an Alert is sent. No indication of this Alert is
portrayed on the Wristband or Clip.
Zone — If the Communications Clip enters a restricted
map area or leaves a safe map area outside designated
hours, an Alert is sent. No indication of this Alert is
portrayed on the Wristband or Clip.
!
TYPES OF SERVICE
PLANS
Personal — All Alerts, including Panic and Fall, are sent
only to emergency contacts (friends/family/neighbors), as
defined in the Wearer’s profile.
Personal with
Professional Escalation
— Clip and
Wristband Alerts are sent to emergency contacts AND
will roll to the Emergency Response Center if not
acknowledged, within four minutes, by a click on the link
contained in the SMS/Email. After the Emergency Response
Center Agent acts, an email will be sent to all emergency
contacts summarizing the actions taken (after-incident
report). All other non-emergency Alerts are sent directly to
emergency contacts only. NOTE: The links in
the email and SMS are active for sixty minutes, after which
they expire.
!
Professional

Customer Care.
Excess
Low
Battery
Alerts
NOTE: Batteries in the
Wristband and
Communications Clip
are lithium ion type
and do not suffer from
“memory” problems
typical in previous
rechargeable battery
technologies. Wearers
do not need to allow
devices to periodically
discharge in order to
extend recharge life.
Both the Wristband and
Communications Clip will indicate
to the Wearer when they need
recharging via the LED on the device,
the LEDs on the charging Dock, and
by sending an SMS/email to those
whose profile indicates they should
receive such notices.
Expected life after a full charge is
three days for the Communications
Clip and seven days for the
Wristband. Please allow devices
to remain on the charging Dock for
at least three hours to obtain a full
charge.
To reduce the number of notices about
battery, instruct the Wearer to return
the devices to the charging Dock
when the LEDs on the Dock indicate a
recharge is required.
If you still have questions or believe
battery life is too short, contact
Customer Care.

Zone
Alerts
The Communications
Clip generates an
Alert based on
parameters defined
by the Dashboard
manager, who defines
a geographic area from
which the Wearer exits
(Safe zone) or enters
(Unsafe zone).
In ideal conditions, the GPS signal
received by the Communications
Clip can indicate a location within
three meters of actual location.
Areas with tall buildings or placing
the Communications Clip in an area
with an obstructed view of the sky
can result in the device mistakenly
reporting a location at the far edge of
device accuracy, often more than 300
meters from its actual location.
To reduce the number of notices about
zones, be sure that the zone has
been drawn large enough to account
for occasional stray GPS signals.
For help drawing, see demonstration
video on
www.Link-Mobile.com
under Help.
If you still have questions or need help
creating zones, contact Customer
Care.

Out of
Range
Alerts
The radio link between
the Communications
Clip and the Wristband
can be reliably
maintained at distances
of up to 150 feet in clear
space.
A home’s construction
materials and
interference from other
devices can reduce the
distance the Wristband
can travel from the
Communications
Clip and still retain a
connection.
A break in the
connection is reported
on the Wristband by a
red LED.
A range test can be performed at any
time by placing the Communications
Clip on the Dock in the desired
recharging location and pressing
one side of the Wristband button. Do
this while wandering around the living
space. A green LED on the Wristband
indicates a completed connection with
the Communications Clip. The
number of flashes (one to three)
indicates signal strength where three
is the strongest. A red LED indicates
the Wristband is no longer
communicating with the Clip.
To reduce the number of notifications
about the Wristband being out of
range, the Wearer should carry the
Communications Clip when they
expect to move beyond the range that
can reliably maintain a connection.
If you still have questions, contact
Customer Care.

No
Comms
Alerts
The Communications
Clip requires a cellular
signal to send its
information to the
Emergency Response
Center.
Atmospheric conditions, a home’s
construction materials and
interference from other devices
can reduce the signal transmission
between the Communications Clip
and cell towers.
Since cellular reception can vary from
location to location, the Wearer will
receive notice via a red LED on the
Clip approx.. five minutes after cellular
signal is lost. Emergency contacts can
be configured to receive an alert after
30 minutes of no cellular signal.
Be aware that the ability to notify
emergency contacts in the event of a
panic or fall is not possible when the
Communications Clip is not receiving
a cellular signal.
If you still have questions, contact
Customer Care.

Safety
Information
for Your
Device
Driving
safety
Talking on the Communications Clip while driving can
distract the driver, result in extreme danger and may be
illegal in some states. Remember, safety comes first. Check
the laws and regulations relating to use of the device in the
areas where you drive. Always obey them. If you must use
your device while driving, we recommend:
• Give full attention to driving. Driving safely is your first
responsibility.
!
• Pull off the road and park before making or answering a
call.
• Be aware, an air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT
place objects, including either installed or portable

Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association
recommends that a minimum separation of six (6) inches
be maintained between a device and a pacemaker to
avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These
recommendations are consistent with the independent
research and recommendations of Wireless Technology
Research. Never come closer than six (6) inches to a
person with a heart pacemaker implant when using your
device. Doing so could result in interference with the
function of the pacemaker. Persons with pacemakers:
