Setting up your Lifeline Service
Before you can use your system, your Communicator must
be properly set up, and the signal range of your Help Button
must be determined. Please see the Quick Setup Guide for
instructions on how to set up your system and test the signal
range of your Help Button. If you have any questions, please
contact Philips Lifeline or your representative.
Responders and People to Notify
What is a “Responder”?
If you should need emergency assistance and activate your
Pendant, a responder is someone you want Philips Lifeline
to contact to physically go to you and help you. As a Lifeline
subscriber, you should have designated people who have
agreed to be “Responders.” These are people whom Lifeline
should call in an emergency, when appropriate. Examples
include: neighbors, friends, relatives, your current nursing
aide, etc.
Choosing a Responder
It is best to choose a Responder who:
• Has a key to your home or knows where one is located
(perhaps in a key lockbox)
• Could come to help you at dierent times of the day or night
• Lives or works within 10 minutes of where you live
• Has a phone, preferably a cell phone
• Ideally has a driver’s license and access to a vehicle
• Is physically capable of assisting you.
Agency Filing Copy
8Questions? Call 1-800-635-6156
If you are using the GoSafe Mobile System, choose a
Responder who can also:
• Drive to your location, whether you are at home or away
from home, and provide help if needed
Information Lifeline needs about Responders
Please ensure that Lifeline has the following information about
each person acting as a Responder:
• Name
• Phone numbers – home, work and cell phone
• Whether or not the Responder has a key to your home
It’s very important that you keep your Responders and their
contact information up to date. Remember to contact Lifeline
if one of your Responders is no longer able to assist you or if
they get a new telephone number. Most importantly, if you list
someone as a Responder, make sure you tell that person that
you have done so, and that they agree to act as a Responder.
Please contact Lifeline for any questions about selecting or
being a Responder.
Who are “People to Notify”?
If you call for help, Lifeline will contact the “People to Notify”
to let them know that you received assistance. “People to
Notify” will not be contacted to help you, unless they are also
on your list of “Responders.”

Please wait.
Hello, Mrs. Smith.
Do you need help?
2. The Home Communicator calls the Response Center. When
it dials the Response Center, the Home Communicator will
repeatedly say: “Your Help Call is in progress; please wait.”
Once it connects with the Response Center, it will say: “Your
call has been connected; Lifeline will be right with you.”
3. The Response Center will answer the call. A Response
Associate will speak to you through the Home
Communicator’s built-in speaker and hear you through the
Home Communicator’s highly sensitive microphone. He/she
will ask if you need help. If you do not need help, just tell
the Response Associate that no help is needed.
Agency Filing Copy
10 Questions? Call 1-800-635-6156
Note: If you cannot speak or be heard, the Response
Associate will try calling you back. If you cannot answer
or if the Response Associate cannot hear you, Lifeline will
contact your Responders or emergency services. If you are
using GoSafe, the Response Associate will rst call the Home
Communicator. If they cannot hear you, they will try calling
the GoSafe Help Button. If they still cannot hear you, they will
contact your Responders or emergency services.
4. The Response Center will assess the situation. If help
is needed, the Response Associate will contact your list
of Responders (i.e., a caregiver, neighbor, loved one) or
emergency services in accordance with your request.*
5. Once your Responder or the emergency service arrives,
they should press your Help Button to let Lifeline know
that help has arrived. The Response Associate will contact
the household to conrm that you received the help that
you needed.
6. Once Lifeline conrms that you have been assisted, a
Response Associate will contact the “People to Notify”
you’ve designated, letting them know you needed and
received help.
Note: If you accidentally press your Help Button, a Response
Associate will respond to your call and ask if you need help.
Just tell them that it was pressed accidentally and that you
* In the case of a fall detected, if the Response Associate cannot hear you and/or
is unable to contact you through your GoSafe 2 Pendant or your alternate contact
numbers such as your home or cell phone, emergency services will be contacted
to respond. Please contact Philips Lifeline if you wish to opt out of this escalation
protocol.

Signal Range
Caution
Please see the Quick Setup Guide located in the box for
instructions on how to set up your system and test the signal
range of your Help Button. The Communicator must be
properly set up, and the signal range of the Help Button must
be tested prior to use. The Help Button is a Radio Frequency
(RF) device that transmits a signal to a compatible Lifeline
Communicator. A Signal Range Test is required to determine
the areas in and around your home from which your Help
Button can signal to the Home Communicator. Be sure to
thoroughly test the Signal Range of your system from all areas
in and around your home.
Your Help Button and Home Communicator provide coverage
inside your home and may provide coverage in the area
immediately outside (in the yard, etc.). If you live in an
apartment building or condominium, you may have coverage
in areas immediately outside your apartment (e.g., the hallway,
stairway, or another oor of the building).
The signal range may be aected by environmental
factors, including building materials, large masses covering
the Help Button (i.e. a person falling on top of it) and
submersion in liquid.
The Signal Range Test will determine your coverage range,
which is the distance you can move away from your Home
Agency Filing Copy

Communicator and still call for help. If you press your Help
Button outside of your apartment, but still within the range
of the Home Communicator, help will be sent to the location
of the Home Communicator. Lifeline links your home address
on-le in your subscription to your Home Communicator
equipment identication number. Do not move your Home
Communicator to a new address without rst notifying
Lifeline and providing the new address. See page 14 for
more information.
Note: If you have the GoSafe Mobile Button you can call
for help outside the range of your Home Communicator as
well, when the AT&T Wireless network is available. Help will
be sent to your location. Please refer to page 45 for further
information.

Caution
Safety information
1. If you have multiple phones in your home, and any of them
are left o the hook, the Home Communicator will not be
able to place a Help Call. This problem can be addressed
by plugging the Home Communicator phone cord into an
RJ31X/CA38A type jack, sometimes referred to as a “line
seizure jack”, on your main phone line. Contact your phone
company or a local home security system provider for
further assistance with this option. If (and only if) there is
only one phone jack in your home, there is an RJ31X jack in
the Home Communicator that is designed to seize the line
if installed properly. Please refer to the Customer Premises
Equipment and Wiring diagram on page 72 in the Safety
and Regulatory Compliance section. For the 7000L Home
Communicator to function properly with an RJ31X/CA38A
type jack, a special phone cord is required. The phone
cord shipped with the 7000L Home Communicator will not
support this function. If you plan
to use your system with this type of jack, please call
Lifeline technical support to order the proper cord to
support this function.
2. This product cannot be used on party lines/shared
service lines.
3. If you have DSL Internet service, you will need to install
a DSL lter between your phone jack and the Home
Communicator. Contact your phone company to obtain a
DSL lter or purchase one from a local electronics store.

Warning
Using telephone services provided via the internet,
broadband, VoIP, or any other nontraditional telephone
service presents additional risks for non-transmission of
signals from the Equipment, and the Equipment may not
operate as intended. Contact Lifeline if you have questions
in this regard. If your landline phone service is deemed not
compatible with the 7000L Home Communicator, a 7000C

Safety information
The Wireless Communicator (7000C) uses the AT&T wireless
(cellular) network to communicate with the Lifeline
Response Center.
1. The strength of the wireless signal may be stronger in some
areas of your home than others. When you set up your
Home Communicator, look at the signal strength indicator
on the back of the Home Communicator. The number of
green bars that are glowing indicate the signal strength; the
more bars you see, the stronger the signal. Place your Home
Communicator in a location where you spend the majority
of your time, and the signal strength indicator shows two or
more bars.
2. If the AT&T wireless network experiences an outage
or the Home Communicator has insucient signal to
operate properly, the Message button on top of the Home
Communicator will ash. The Home Communicator will
not be able to send a Help Call to Lifeline during this time.
If you press your Button and the AT&T wireless network is
not available, you will hear a message saying: “Your call
cannot be connected. There is no signal strength. Move your
Home Communicator to a dierent location.” Try moving
the Home Communicator to a dierent location in your
home. Once the signal is restored, you will hear a message
saying: “Connection has been restored.” Your Help Call will
then be dialed. If you have an emergency and your home
communicator cannot connect to the wireless network, dial
911 from your home phone.

Warnings
• Any cord worn around the neck can pose a strangulation risk,
including the possibility of death and serious injuries. This may
be of more concern to wearers in wheelchairs, using walkers,
using beds with guard rails, or who might encounter other
protruding objects upon which the cord can become tangled.
• Philips Lifeline neck cords contain a special fuse (see image on
right) designed to break away under certain conditions to reduce
the remote risk of strangulation. If
this fuse breaks apart, contact Philips
Lifeline or your representative for a
replacement neck cord, as the fuse
cannot be repaired or re-used.
• Do not use any neck cord other than
the one provided by Philips Lifeline
or your representative. Other neck cords may not provide
the feature to break apart therefore increasing the risk of
strangulation.
• Do not tie a knot in your neck cord since this may prevent the
break away feature from working properly.
• There are no user-serviceable parts inside the Help Button.
Do not attempt to open or modify the device.
• The Help Button contains a lithium battery that must be
disposed of properly. Do not discard the Help Button in the
trash or expose it to ames or intense heat.
• The Help Button is not suitable for use in the presence of
ammable anesthetic mixtures with air or with oxygen or
nitrous oxide.

Questions? Call 1-800-635-6156
What to expect when the AutoAlert fall detection
technology in your HomeSafe AutoAlert Button detects
a fall
• A Help Call is automatically generated after
approximately 30 seconds of a fall being detected. While
the fall may be detected in only a few seconds, the 30
second period is provided for users to “self-recover” from
a fall if able.
• If the Help Button detects that you have self-recovered
from the fall, within approximately 30 seconds of a fall
being detected, a Help Call will not be generated.
• Do not attempt to stand if you feel unable to.
• Regardless of whether you have fallen or not, if you think
you need assistance, always push the Help Button to
initiate the Help Call if you are able to do so. Pushing the
Help Button generates the Help Call promptly. If your
Help Button has detected a fall but 30 seconds have not
yet passed, pressing the Help Button WILL NOT cancel
the help call. It will send the help call promptly.
About Fall Detection
Warning
The AutoAlert fall detection technology may not detect every
fall. Some movements may not register as a fall and would not
be detected. Examples include, but are not limited to:
• A gradual slide such as from a seated position - such as
from a wheelchair.
Agency Filing Copy
38 Questions? Call 1-800-635-6156
• Lowering oneself slowly to the ground
• A fall from a height of less than 20 inches (0.5 meters)
• Bracing the impact of a fall or interrupting the fall in-process,
such as by holding-on to a piece of furniture during the fall.
Caution
Certain conditions can aect the ability of the AutoAlert
Technology to detect a fall:
• If you live at an altitude above 6,600 feet (2000 meters)
• If you are less than 4 feet 6 inches in height (1.4 meters)
• If you weigh less than 88 pounds (40 kilograms)
Any of these conditions can reduce the fall detection
capability of the AutoAlert technology. However, the ability to
send a help call by pressing the Help Button is not aected by
such conditions.
If you fall and need help, always press the Help Button if you
are able to. Note that if your Help Button did detect the fall
and is already in-process of calling Lifeline, pressing
the button WILL NOT cancel or interrupt the call already
in-progress, and will not interfere with system operation
in any way.
False “fall detected” alarms may occasionally occur
While the AutoAlert technology is designed to generate very
few false alarms, a fall detected alarm might occasionally
occur when there was not a fall (i.e., a false alarm). This is
considered normal operation. If this occurs, don’t panic. Allow
the call to connect. A Lifeline Response Associate will answer
the call when it connects. Simply tell them that “No help is
Agency Filing Copy
39

needed”, and conrm to them that you are OK. There are no
additional charges for false alarms.
Note: Occasional false alarms do not indicate that the Help
Button is malfunctioning.
The vent area located on the back of the HomeSafe AutoAlert
Button (p.35) is part of the fall detection sensor system
and needs to remain clear of obstructions (e.g., lint or food
products). A continuous ow of water (e.g., a shower) hitting
the vent directly may also temporarily obstruct the vent.
However, your HomeSafe AutoAlert Button is waterproof
and should be worn at all times – even when bathing
or showering.
To conserve battery power for Help Calls, the sensors that
are used to detect falls will be disabled when there are
approximately 7 days of battery life remaining. During this
time, the HomeSafe AutoAlert Button will not detect falls. It
will, however, continue to function as a Help Button, which
you can press if you need help. See the Battery section below
for further information.

Determining your location
In Alarm State, GoSafe is designed to help identify your
location, at or away from home. However, you should always
tell the Response Associate your exact location if you are
able to do so. If you are unable to speak or describe your
exact location, Lifeline will contact help to nd and assist you
where you are. Lifeline cannot guarantee that your location
can be determined at all times.
If your Responder or emergency services is having trouble
locating you, Lifeline may activate the Audio Beacon feature.
This is a very loud, siren-like noise that will come from the
speaker on the button and will help responders to nd you
more easily. Each time the Audio Beacon is activated, it will
sound for 5 minutes. Pressing the Help Button will silence the
Audio Beacon and will not initiate another Help Call.
GoSafe Voice Response
When using the GoSafe Mobile Button from within the
range of the Home Communicator, it is important to know
that the Response Center will always call the Home
Communicator rst. If the Response Associate cannot hear
you, they will attempt to contact you using the speaker and
microphone on the Help Button itself. Conversation over
the Home Communicator and the Help Button is facilitated
via independent communication paths. The fact that the
Response Associate may be able to contact the Home
Communicator does not mean that they are able to contact
the Help Button in all cases. Regardless, Lifeline will ultimately
contact a responder to go to your home an assist you.

Potential Interference
Do not use GoSafe if you have an implantable cardiac
device, such as a debrillator or pacemaker. GoSafe may
interfere with certain medical equipment, such as magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI), X-ray machines, Automatic External
Debrillators, cardiac monitors, pacemakers, insulin pumps,
hearing aids, as well as metal detectors.

Air Travel
Because it is a cellular communication device, GoSafe may
interfere with aircraft communications while in normal Stand-
by mode. For this reason, GoSafe has a Sleep Mode. Be
sure to place it in Sleep Mode during air travel. Please see
instructions for in Sleep Mode on page 52.
The GoSafe Mobile Button can only place a Help Call when
not in sleep mode, when it is suciently charged, and when
the AT&T wireless network is available.
Charging the battery
Your GoSafe Mobile Button is powered by a rechargeable battery.
This means that it must be re-charged regularly, as indicated, for
proper function. It will chime once and the Indicator Light will
ash orange whenever it initially needs to be charged. When
in proximity of your Home Communicator, the message light
on your Home Communicator will also illuminate. If you press
the message button, the Home Communicator will play a voice
message indicating that your GoSafe Mobile Button needs to
be charged. Typically, it will take less than 45 minutes to charge
your GoSafe Mobile Button, if you put it in the charger at this
initial charge indication point. It will take longer than this if you
wait additional time after this indication point to put the Mobile
Button in the charger. GoSafe is fully charged when it chimes and
the Indicator Light turns to a steady green. If you do not charge
it at the Initial Charge Indication, the battery will continue to
deplete and the orange light will continue to blink. Once it reaches
a critical power state, GoSafe will provide a Critical Charge
Indication. When this happens, the Mobile Button will play a voice

prompt: “Your Help Button is now out of power and will shut
down. Please charge your device as soon as possible”. It may take
more than one hour to charge your Mobile Button if it reaches this
point, but will not damage the device.

of any type until it is re-charged. When charging:
1. Make sure the charger is plugged into a power outlet (wall
plug) that is receiving power. For this reason, we do not
recommend plugging the charger into outlets controlled by a

wall switch, or power strips unless you can conrm that they
are powered on.
2. Attach your Mobile Button to the charger. You will hear a
chime and a voice prompt that says “I am now charging.
My light will turn solid green when I am ready to use.” to
acknowledge that you are charging. The Indicator Light will
begin ashing green.
3. Charge until the light shines a steady green.
4. Remove from the charger. The green light will turn o,
and the Mobile Button is ready to use.
5. To provide the user with the longest possible battery life
between charges, there is no constantly illuminated power
indicator. Instead, your GoSafe Mobile Button includes a
“shake to indicate” feature. To determine if it is powered
on, hold it in your hand and shake it briey, watching the
Indicator Light while shaking.
• A ashing green light when shaken means that it has
sucient battery power for normal operation.
• No ashing green light means that the battery is dead
and needs to be charged, or that it is in sleep mode.
Important reminders
• You should continue wearing your GoSafe Mobile Button
while it is being charged. Please be cautious not to trip on
the charger cord while doing so.
• When you are charging your Mobile Button while wearing,
be sure to remove it from the charger prior to standing up.
Failure to do so may compromise the fall detection function.
Agency Filing Copy
52 Questions? Call 1-800-635-6156
• Do not charge your Mobile Button while sleeping or bathing.
• Battery life varies based on activity level, cellular signal
strength in your area, battery age, and actual emergency
use. Your GoSafe Mobile Button provides audible and visual
reminders of when to charge. You should charge it when it
indicates charging is needed. Depending on environmental
conditions and your level of mobility, you will have to charge
your GoSafe Mobile Button once every 5-7 days.
Sleep mode
The GoSafe Mobile Button utilizes cellular communication
technology. As such, you must turn it o in the following
circumstances:
• During Air Travel (when ying on an airplane) regardless of
whether you are “carrying-on” the Mobile Button into the
passenger cabin, or if you pack the Mobile Button in your
checked luggage. Either way, it must be placed in
Sleep mode.
• If you are returning the Mobile Button to Lifeline
The GoSafe Mobile Button has a Sleep Mode for these
situations. To put it into sleep mode, press and hold down the
Help Button for 10 seconds. It will say: “If you would like to turn
o your Help Button, please press it again.” Release the Help
Button and then press and release it again without holding it
down. GoSafe will conrm it is entering sleep mode by saying:
“Your Help Button is now turning o.”
You should take your Mobile Button out of Sleep Mode as
soon as conveniently possible upon exiting the plane to allow

it to re-orient to its new location. To exit Sleep Mode, press the
Help Button once and release it. Your Mobile Button will say:
“Your Help Button is now ready to use. If you need help,
please press your Help Button again”. This initial button press
that wakes the Mobile Button out of sleep mode will not
initiate a Help Call. If you need help in this instance, be sure to
press the Help Button a second time.
Caution
You will not be able to send a Help Call when your GoSafe
Mobile Button is in Sleep Mode. Be sure to remember to

or bathing. It has an IPX7 waterproof rating. This means that
it can be submerged to a depth of 1 meter (40”) in water for
up to 30 minutes. It is not designed for submersion in water
deeper than 1 meter for any period of time, and should
not be left submerged under water at any depth up to and
including one meter for a period longer than 30 minutes.
• Do not throw or toss the Mobile Button onto a bed, table,
or other surface because it may interpret this as a fall and
accidentally send a Help Call.
• Your Mobile Button may be worn outside of or underneath
your clothing depending on your preference. Regardless, it
must always be worn as a pendant to help ensure
proper function.
• Your Mobile Button is safe to use while driving. However,
when entering and exiting your vehicle, take care to prevent
the Pendant from hitting the steering wheel because this
activity may accidentally generate a Help Call.

Alarms
Communicator Alarms
Introduction
There are two types of alarms processed by
the HomeSafe/GoSafe Communicator:
• High Priority – Require immediate response
(by the Response Center)
• Medium Priority – Require prompt response
(by the operator/user)
Additionally, the Communicator also displays informational
messages and conrmation alerts that notify you of conditions
that need attention but do not qualify as alarm conditions (e.g.
installation prompts).
Note: If multiple alarms occur at the same time, all alarms
are processed and displayed, but the alarms are ordered rst
by priority and then by occurrence, with the newest, highest
priority alarms at the top of the list. The alarm precedence
is in the following order: High priority, Medium priority, and
Informational messages.
Note: Not all alarms are available in every mode (e.g. during
installation); some alarms are mode-dependent.
Audible and Visual Alarm Indicators
When the device detects a High priority alarm: The Help
button on the Communicator ashes red, the device audible
alarm sounds and a recorded voice message is played.
Agency Filing Copy
56 Questions? Call 1-800-635-6156
When the device detects a Medium priority alarm: The
Message button on the Communicator ashes yellow/orange.
The operator must press the Message button to hear a
recorded voice message describing the alarm condition and/or
what to do about the alarm condition.
Silencing Alarms
Once a High Priority alarm is detected, it cannot be silenced.
Lowering the volume slider on the Communicator will lower
the volume of the voice prompts played, but the alarm
messages will still play.
Medium Priority alarms are silent until the User presses the
Message button to hear what the alarm condition is and how
to act upon it. The recorded voice messages will continue to
play each time the Message button is pressed, until the alarm
condition is corrected.
Resetting an Alarm
High priority alarms are normally reset by the Response
Center after the alarm has been responded to. Additionally,
the Communicator may periodically poll the Response Center
to see if the alarm should be reset and does so accordingly.
Note: Powering down the Communicator during the reporting
of a high priority alarm will reset the device, but since the
alarm has already been reported to the Response Center, the
Response Center will likely attempt to contact the Subscriber.
If an alarm is accidentally initiated by the User, they should not
turn o the Communicator. Instead, they should wait for the
Response Center to establish voice communication and simply
state that the alarm was sent accidentally.

When the device detects a Medium priority alarm: The light on
the GoSafe Mobile Button ashes orange, the device may play
a sound and/or a recorded voice message.
Silencing Alarms
Once a High Priority alarm is detected, it cannot be silenced.
Medium Priority alarms play a sound and possibly a recorded
voice message once upon detection of the alarm, but the light
ashes until the alarm condition is corrected.
Resetting an Alarm
High Priority alarms are normally reset by the Response
Center after the alarm has been responded to. Additionally,
the GoSafe Mobile Help Button may periodically poll the
Response Center to see if the alarm should be reset and
does so accordingly. If the alarm is not reset by the Response
Center, the GoSafe Mobile Button will automatically reset the
alarm after 30 minutes.
Note: Putting the GoSafe Mobile Button to sleep during an active
high priority alarm will reset the device, but a Voice Message is
played requiring the user to conrm this action. Since the alarm
has already been reported to the Response Center, they will
likely attempt to contact the Subscriber. If an alarm is accidentally
initiated by the User, they should not put the GoSafe Mobile
Button to sleep. Instead, they should wait for the Response Center
to establish voice communication and simply state that the alarm
was sent accidentally.
The GoSafe Mobile Button self-cancels certain Medium
Priority alarms if the cause of the alarm is corrected, stopping
the orange light from ashing.

Delay in Determining Alarms
Reporting high priority help alarms from the End Devices to the Home Communicator
is done in less than a second when generated by a button press.
The HomeSafe AutoAlert and GoSafe Mobile Help Buttons provide an added layer of
protection by being able to detect falls under certain conditions. It takes approximately
35-40 seconds to determine that an activity that resembles a fall has occurred and for
the alarm signal to be sent. The alarm signal is sent from the Help Button to the Home
Communicator, which then sends the signal to the Response Center. If a fall is detected
by the GoSafe Mobile Button when outside of range of the Home Communicator, the
signal is sent directly to the Response Center via the AT&T wireless nework, if available.
Logging Alarms
All alarm events reported to the Response Center are logged by the Response Center.
There are no user accessible logs.

NOTE 2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation
is aected by absorption and reection from structures, objects and people.
(a) Field strengths from xed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/
cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio
broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy.
To assess the electromagnetic environment due to xed RF transmitters, an
electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured eld strength in the
location in which the HomeSafe/GoSafe equipment is used exceeds the applicable
RF compliance level above, the HomeSafe/GoSafe equipment should be observed to
verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures
may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the HomeSafe/GoSafe equipment.
(b) Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, eld strengths should be less
than 3 V/m.
Table 6 – Recommended Separations Distances between Portable and Mobile RF
Communications equipment and HomeSafe/GoSafe devices
The HomeSafe/GoSafe are intended for use in the electromagnetic environment in
which radiated disturbances are controlled. The customer or user of the HomeSafe/
GoSafe can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum
distance between portable and mobile RF Communication Equipment and HomeSafe/
GoSafe as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the
communications equipment.

For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended
separation distance d in meters (m) can be estimated using the equation applicable to
the frequency of the transmitter, where P is the maximum output power rating of the
transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer.
NOTE 1: At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency
range applies.
NOTE 2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation
is aected by absorption and reection from structures, objects, and people.
