Wearing your Halo Transmitter
Step 1
Remove the strap and transmitter from the box. Loosen the strap and snap it to the
transmitter on one side. Be sure to match the strap’s LEFT side to the transmitter’s
left (L) side. Carefully align the snaps and press firmly to connect. See Figure 1.

Step 2
Under your clothing, wrap the strap around your upper torso and connect the strap’s
RIGHT side to the transmitter’s right (R) side. Make sure the Halo emblem is
right-side-up and appears as shown in Figure 2. The silver button sensor on the back
of the transmitter should be touching your skin.

Step 3
Adjust the strap to fit properly. Follow these simple guidelines and refer to Figure 2
for optimum transmitter performance:
•Wear the strap on your upper abdomen, no more than two inches below your ster-
num.
•When the strap is tight enough, you should be able to fit two fingers between the
strap and your skin; however, the strap should not be so tight that it is uncomfort-
able, nor so loose that it slips down as you walk.
•Wear the strap daily. We recommend that you wear the strap continuously and
only remove it when charging.
CAUTION! Although the transmitter is water resistant, it cannot be
submerged in water. Do not wear the device in a pool or bathtub.
Showering while wearing the device is fine.
Note proper location of Halo emblem.

Charging Battery
Keep the transmitter charged. It is recommended that you charge the transmitter
once a day.

into the charge port. Connect the other end to your electrical outlet as shown in
Figure 3.
Step 3
Remove from the charger after 1-1.5 hours or when the battery is fully charged.
Close the battery plug (to ensure the device remains water tight) and put the strap
back on your body.

FAQs
Q: How do I know when my battery needs charging?
A: Daily charging is recommended. The BATT indicator on your home gateway
turns red when the battery becomes extremely low. You can also monitor the battery
charge level by logging in to the web portal at www.myhalomonitor.com.
Q: I want to remove the strap for a period of time. Is that okay?
A: Yes, but the Halo system provides the greatest protection when the transmitter is
being worn. For that reason, we recommend that you wear it as much as possible.
The strap can be removed for short periods of time. If you forget to replace the
strap, a notification reminder is sent to your caregiver.
Q: What happens if I push the grey button?
A: While the Halo transmitter is designed to provide automatic emergency response
with no action on your part, there may be times when you feel the need to call for
help. The square button in the center of your Halo strap is for your peace-of-mind
and to be used in emergencies. When you are wearing the transmitter, it should be
easy to find the button — even through clothing. If you press the button, one of our
operators will attempt to call you at home and/or your designated caregiver(s).
Q: How do I know my Halo system is working?
A: If you see a green WAN light and a green PAN light on your home gateway, then
everything is working properly. Your home gateway device is also in constant
communication with our central monitoring system, so we can detect any issue
quickly. If we detect that your device is not working for any reason, we will notify
your caregiver so the problem can be resolved quickly.
Q: How do I clean my strap and transmitter?
A: When needed, launder the strap on a gentle cycle and line dry. Be sure to
remove the transmitter before washing! Wipe the transmitter with a clean,
slightly damp cloth.
Q: How do I contact Technical Support?
A: You can contact Halo Monitoring online at http://www.halomonitoring.com,
