Checking the Battery Level
Press the Check Battery button for 3 seconds to check the battery level status.
After 10 seconds, the HELP Pendant will automatically turn off.
Please check the battery status and device functionality monthly.
Moving To New Address
Although the Pendant is physically portable, you must notify Life Alert before moving
it to another location so that we have the most current information to assist you in the
event of an emergency. Failure to update your information could result in emergency
services being sent to the wrong address. Simply contact the Life Alert Dispatch Center
at 1-800-638-8222 and we will assist you with transferring your monitoring service to
your new location. You will be asked to provide your new address, phone number,
contacts, and access entry information, as well as the date your move will be effective.
When moving, it is recommended that you turn the master on/off switch to off so as to
avoid any false activations and preserve the console’s battery life. To ensure proper
operation, the equipment must be reinstalled according to the enclosed installation
instructions. To verify that the equipment is operating properly and can successfully
report an alarm, the equipment must be tested immediately after relocating it and
periodically thereafter, according to the enclosed testing instructions.
Since the main unit is wireless communications based, it will require adequate cellular
reception within the installation area in order to function. Check to see if there is
adequate cell phone reception at your new address by viewing the AT&T Coverage
Maps on the internet. These coverage maps are for general informational purposes
only. Actual coverage and service areas may vary from the maps and may change
without notice. http://www.att.com/maps/wireless-coverage.html. As a reminder, Life
Alert does not guarantee coverage or service availability. Even within a coverage area,
factors such as terrain, weather, structures, foliage, signal strength, traffic volumes,
service outages, network changes, technical limitations, and your equipment may
interfere with actual service, quality and availability.

Cellular Communications
Important information regarding your pendant communications.
Cellular communications are affected by a number of factors outside the control of Life Alert and may
be impaired or blocked by building construction style, building materials, atmospheric conditions (i.e.
weather), distance from transmitter to receiver, surrounding terrain, battery levels, signal strength, cellular
network traffic, cellular tower condition and interference from other cellular devices. You also understand
that cellular based solutions rely on third party services from wireless service providers such as, AT&T
and T-Mobile, that are not controlled by Life Alert or its representatives. You acknowledge that even if
cellular solutions work well at the time of first test, activation or installation, you are responsible for
monitoring signal strength, power and service quality on an on-going basis. Life Alert is not responsible
for maintaining or monitoring the networks used for communication and can only provide timely and
accurate response if all equipment and networks are working correctly and providing adequate signal
strength. You must test your equipment and any other cellular related equipment on a regular basis
to identify any deterioration of network service and signal strength. You will notify us in writing of any
changes to your information you provided us, or a change to your equipment. You also acknowledge and
understand that there may be additional issues related to sending information over cellular networks
to our Dispatch Center beyond what is mentioned here. You further understand that technology used
for cellular communications can fail at any time and you release Life Alert, its staff, employees, owners,
shareholders, officers, contractors, representatives and vendors from any and all liability related to the
transmission of emergency signals or communications over cellular networks.

Important Information
System regulatory information
If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone
company will notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of
service may be required. But if advance notice is not practical, the
telephone company will notify the customer as soon as possible. Also,
you will be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC if you
believe it is necessary.
The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment,
operations or procedures that could affect the operation of the equipment.
If this happens, the telephone company will provide advance notice so
that you can make the necessary modifications in order to maintain
uninterrupted service.
If trouble is experienced with this equipment, for repair and/or warranty
information contact Life Alert at 1-800-451-7858 for information or a
return product authorization (RPA). If the trouble is causing harm to the
telephone network, the telephone company may request you remove
the equipment from the network until the problem is resolved. User
repairs must not be made. Doing so voids warranty. Refer to Monitoring
Service Agreement for warranty coverage information.
IMPORTANT WIRELESS INFORMATION
Life Alert radio controls provide a reliable communications link and fill
an important need in portable wireless signaling. However, there are
some limitations which must be observed.
• For U.S. installations only: The radios are required to comply with
FCC Rules and Regulations as Part 15 devices. As such, they have
limited transmitter power and therefore limited range.
• A receiver cannot respond to more than one transmitted signal at a
time and may be blocked by radio signals that occur on or near their
operating frequencies, regardless of code settings.
SENSITIVE ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT
When near high precision electronic equipment, please turn off the
pendant. Failure to do so may cause nearby electronic equipment
malfunctions. The following equipment may be affected by the use
of cellular telephones, including but not limited to: hearing aids,
pacemakers, fire alarms, automatic gates and other automatic control
equipment. Users who use auxiliary medical equipment should contact
the equipment provider and confirm the effect of the cellular telephones
on the equipment.
MEDICAL FACILITIES
Please note the following in medical facilities:
- Please do not use the HELP Pendant in an emergency room,
operating room, intensive care unit (ICU) or coronary care unit (CCU).
- Please do not use the pendant one when in the vicinity of medical
equipment. Also, please do not use the HELP Pendant in medical
places where the use of a cellular phone is prohibited.
- Please note the ringer, volume level and vibration setting, so as not
to disturb patients with heart disease or other environmentally sensitive
medical conditions.
COMBUSTION AND EXPLOSIVE WARNINGS
Do not use the pendant in flammable and explosive areas in order
to avoid causing an explosion or fire. Flammable and explosive area
examples, but not limited to, the following:

FCC STATEMENT
RF Exposure Information
RF Exposure Information The SAR limit in the USA (FCC) is 1.6 W/kg
averaged over one gram of tissue. This HELP Pendant device (FCC ID
2ABZ7-913) has been tested against this SAR limit.
The highest SAR value reported under this standard during product
certification for use at the ear is 0.946 W/kg.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operation positions
specified by the FCC with the device transmitting at its highest
certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR
is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level
of the device while in operation can be well below the maximum value.
This is because the device is designed to operate at multiple power
levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In
general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the
lower the power output. Before a device model is available for sale to
the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not
exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement
for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations
(e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each
model. (Body – worn measurements may differ among device models,
depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements.) While
there may be differences between the SAR levels or various devices
at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe
exposure.
For body worn operation, this device has been tested and meets
the FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with an accessory
that contains no metal. Use of other accessories may not ensure
compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.
NOTE:
This product’s IMEI label was placed in the battery compartment. It can
be accessed by removing the battery cover and removing the batteries.
The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or TV interference
cause by the unauthorized modifications to this equipment. Such
modifications could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
For body worn operation, this device has been tested and meets
