Important Notice to User
The GoSafe 2 Mobile Pendant is a radio frequency (RF) device
that transmits all of its signals to the Lifeline Response Center
over a cellular network. As such, it relies upon adequate
cellular network availability and signal strength, at the time
and location of alarm generation, to send your help signal
to the Lifeline Response Center. Cellular signal strength and
availability inside of your home is tested during the system
setup process, but can vary from time to time depending on
multiple factors, and is therefore not guaranteed to remain at
that level over time. This variation is not due to the design of
GoSafe 2, nor is it unique to a single cellular carrier. It is the
general nature of cellular communication, and indicative of the
limitations thereof. Please refer to this Instruction for Use, as
well as the Terms and Conditions of Sale/Use provided with
your System for a full listing of Limitations of cellular service.
Philips Lifeline also provides a GoSafe Mobile System that
utilizes a Home Communicator to help provide increased
communication capability for signals generated from within
your home. If this statement or the Limitations dened herein
are unclear to you, if you would like to learn more about the
GoSafe Mobile System with Home Communicator, or if you did
not receive a copy of the Terms and Conditions of Sale/Use,
please contact Philips Lifeline or its representative.

Agency Filing Copy
11Questions? Call 1-800-635-6156
Responders and People to Notify
What is a “Responder”?
As a Philips 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 dierent 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, and
• Is physically capable of assisting you.
Since the GoSafe 2 System allows you to call for help both at
and away from home, it is best to 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 Philips Lifeline needs about Responders
Please ensure that Philips Lifeline has the phone number or
numbers that each responder is most likely to answer.
It is very important that you keep your Responder information
up to date. Remember to contact Philips Lifeline if one of your
Agency Filing Copy
12 Questions? Call 1-800-635-6156
Responders is no longer able to assist you or if they get a new
telephone number.
Please contact Philips Lifeline for any questions about
selecting or being a Responder. 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.
Who are “People to Notify” or “Noties”?
If you use your System to call for help, after response has
been facilitated, Philips Lifeline will contact the “People to
Notify” identied in your subscription prole 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.” Neither Responders nor Noties will be
contacted in the event of a test signal or when you activate
your system but do not need help – such as during an
accidental Help Button press.
Calling for help inside your home
1. Press the Help Button on the GoSafe 2 Mobile Pendant.
The Pendant will tell you that your call is in progress, and
to please wait. Once the call has registered with the Lifeline
Response Center, your Pendant will tell you that your call
has been connected. This means that our system has
compiled all of your information and that your case is being
delivered to a Lifeline Personal Response Associate who will
speak with you momentarily.
Note: The Response Center is available 24 hours a day, 365
days a year. Your Lifeline subscription provides for unlimited
Agency Filing Copy
13Questions? Call 1-800-635-6156
calls to the response center without penalty. A trained
Personal Response Associate is always available to assist you.
Hello, Mrs. Smith.
Do you need help?
Your help call
is in progress.
Please wait.
2. Your Pendant calls the Lifeline Response Center. When it
dials the Response Center, your Pendant 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.” It is normal to
experience a slight delay prior to speaking with a
Response Associate.
3. The Response Center will answer the call. A Lifeline
Response Associate will speak to you through the Pendant’s
built-in speaker and hear you through the highly sensitive
microphone. The Personal Response Associate will ask if
you need help. If you do not need help, just tell them that
no help is needed.
Note: If you cannot speak or be heard through the Pendant,
the Response Associate may try calling you back on your
home phone. If you cannot answer or if the Response
Associate cannot hear you, Lifeline will contact your
Responder(s) or emergency services.*
Agency Filing Copy
14 Questions? Call 1-800-635-6156
*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.
4. The Response Center will assess the situation. If help is
needed, the Response Associate will begin contacting your
list of Responders (or emergency services) in accordance
with your request, until they are able to reach someone who
accepts the action of going to help you.
5. Once Lifeline has dispatched help, the Response Associate
will contact you by calling your home phone or by calling-
back your Pendant to conrm that you received the help
that you needed.
6. Once Lifeline conrms that you have been assisted, a
Response Associate will contact the “People to Notify”
you’ve designated, letting them know that you needed and
received help.
Note: If you accidentally press your Help Button, do not panic.
Allow the call to connect. A Response Associate will answer
your call and ask if you need help. Simply tell them that “No
help is needed”, and conrm to them that you are OK. Don’t
be concerned that you are bothering Lifeline; we just want to
be sure that you are alright. This is part of the serivce that you
are paying for and there is no extra charge for accidental calls.
Signal Coverage
Please see the Quick Setup Guide located in the box for
instructions on how to set up your GoSafe 2 system. Your
Pendant must be tested prior to use by initiating a call to the
Response Center. The GoSafe 2 Mobile Pendant is a radio
Agency Filing Copy
15Questions? Call 1-800-635-6156
frequency (RF) device that transmits a signal to the Lifeline
call center over a Cellular network. It relies upon adequate
cellular network availability to send your help signal to
the Lifeline Response Center. Cellular signal strength and
availability inside of your home is tested during the system
setup process, but can vary from time to time depending on
multiple factors. It is therefore recommended that, once your
welcome/setup call is complete, you go to areas of your home
where you commonly spend time, as well as areas where you
are most likely to have an accident – such as the bedroom,
bathroom and kitchen – to check that your GoSafe 2 pendant
has sucient cellular signal available to operate reliably from
within your home. See the caution section on page 17.
Caution: Your GoSafe 2 Pendant is designed to work
inside and outside of your home from anywhere sucient
connectivity to the AT&T cellular network is available. When
you press the Help Button while away from home, help will
be sent to your location.* Please refer to page 25 for further
information.
It is important to note that the ability of your GoSafe 2
Mobile Pendant to make a help call may be aected by
environmental factors, including building materials, large
masses covering the Pendant (i.e. a person laying on top
of it) and submersion in liquid.
* Lifeline may not always be able to determine your location. During an alarm, always
tell the Response Associate where you are if you are able to do so.

16 Questions? Call 1-800-635-6156
Battery information
Your GoSafe 2 Mobile Pendant contains a rechargeable
battery that can only be replaced at the Philips factory. Your
Pendant will automatically send a silent maintenance signal to
Philips Lifeline when the battery needs to be replaced. Philips
Lifeline or our representative will contact you directly to make
arrangements for a replacement.
Equipment service
Every GoSafe 2 Mobile Pendant is manufactured to high
quality standards, and can only be factory-serviced by Philips
Lifeline, with the exception of the neck cord, which can be
replaced by the user. You can only replace the neck cord with
a Philips replacement neck cord designed specically for your
pendant. Your GoSafe 2 Pendant performs periodic diagnostic
self-tests to verify proper functionality. If you ever experience
issues with your equipment, or if it becomes damaged, please
contact Philips Lifeline or your representative to arrange
service or a replacement.
Contact Philips Lifeline at the number below if:
• you would like to transfer your service to a new or
second home;
• your Responder or Notify list needs to be updated. It is
important that your list is up to date with the correct people
and contact information;
Agency Filing Copy
17Questions? Call 1-800-635-6156
• someone else in your home needs to use the Lifeline
Service. More than one person living in the same household
can have the service, but each individual user requires their
own Pendant.
Safety information
The GoSafe 2 Mobile Pendant uses the AT&T wireless network
to communicate with the Lifeline Response Center.
1. Caution, the strength of the wireless (cellular) signal may
be stronger in some areas of your home than others. Be
sure to test your Pendant by pressing the Help Button from
places where you spend the majority of your time to help
to check the Pendant’s ability to connect to to the cellular
network from these areas. A successful test will result in
a call to the Response Center. Once connected, tell the
Response Associate that you are testing your system and
that no help is needed and they will reset your Pendant.
2. If the AT&T wireless network experiences an outage or
your Pendant loses its signal, it will not be able to send a
Help Call to Lifeline. If this happens, dial 911 for emergency
assistance.
3. Your Pendant contains a rechargeable battery. It must be
suciently charged to send a signal to the Response Center.

GoSafe 2 Mobile
Medical Alert System
General Information
The information in this section applies to the proper use and
care of your GoSafe 2 Mobile Pendant.
Cleaning and Care
Your GoSafe 2 Mobile Pendant is water resistant to the IPX7
standard. This means that you can submerge it in up to 1 meter
(about 40”) of water for up to 30 minutes without damaging it.
As such, you can submerge it in warm water for easy cleaning
and can also bathe/shower without removing it.
1. Wash the neck cord with a mild liquid detergent such as
liquid dish detergent. Replacement neck cords are available
from Philips Lifeline for a nominal fee and include a
convenient tool that simplies replacement.
2. Wash the Pendant under warm running water. You may also
gently wipe it with an isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol wipe or a
cotton pad moistened with alcohol. However, do not soak
it in alcohol or pour alcohol into the microphone or speaker
area of the Pendant. (See pages 22-23)
3. Blot excess moisture with a towel and allow the Pendant to
nish air-drying while you’re wearing it.
Agency Filing Copy
19Questions? Call 1-800-635-6156
Note: If you accidentally press the Help Button during
cleaning, don’t panic. Allow the call to connect. A Personal
Response Associate will answer the call when it connects.
Simply tell them that “No help is needed”, and conrm to them
that you are OK.
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.
• The neck cord on your GoSafe 2 Mobile
Pendant employs a special fuse (see
image right). This fuse is designed to
break away under certain conditions to
reduce the risk of strangulation. If this fuse
breaks apart, contact Philips Lifeline or
your authorized representative for a replacement,
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 Pendant.
• Do not attempt to open or modify the Pendant.

Determining your location
When in Alarm State, the GoSafe 2 Mobile Pendant is designed
to help identify your location, at or away from home. However,
you should always tell the Personal 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 on
the pendant. This is a very loud, siren-like noise that will come
from the Pendant speaker 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.
Agency Filing Copy
26 Questions? Call 1-800-635-6156
What to expect when the AutoAlert fall detection
technology in your GoSafe 2 Mobile Pendant
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 Pendant detects that you have self-recovered from
the fall, within less than 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 do so.
• Regardless of whether you have fallen or not, if you
think you need assistance, always push the Help Button
immediately to initiate the Help Call if you are able to do
so. Pushing the Help Button promptly generates the Help
Call. If your Pendant has detected a fall but 30 seconds
have not yet passed, pressing the Help Button WILL NOT
cancel the help call. It will promptly send the help call.
About Fall Detection
Warning
The AutoAlert fall detection technology may not detect every
fall. In certain situations, the AutoAlert technology may not
detect a fall. Some movements may not register as a fall and
would not be detected. Examples include, but are not
limited to:

27Questions? Call 1-800-635-6156
• A gradual slide such as from a seated position - such as
from a wheelchair.
• Lowering oneself slowly to the ground
• 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.
• A fall from a height of less than 20 inches (0.5 meters)
Caution
Certain conditions can aect 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 aected by
such conditions.
If you fall and need help, always press the Help Button if you
are able to do so. Note that if your Pendant did detect the
fall and is already in-process of calling Lifeline, pressing the
Help 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 GoSafe 2 Mobile Pendant is designed to have 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.
Agency Filing Copy
28 Questions? Call 1-800-635-6156
Allow the call to connect. A Philips Response Associate will
answer the call when it connects. Simply tell them that “No
help is needed”, and conrm to them that you are OK. There
are no additional charges for false alarms.
Note: Occasional false alarms do not indicate that the
Pendant is malfunctioning.
The vent area located on the back of
the Pendant is part of the AutoAlert 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
it. However, your Pendant should be
worn at all times as it is waterproof for
showering and bathing.
Caution
Potential Interference
Do not use the GoSafe 2 Mobile Pendant if you have
an implantable cardiac device, such as a debrillator or
pacemaker. The GoSafe 2 Mobile Pendant may interfere with
certain medical equipment, such as magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI), X-ray machines, Automatic External
Debrillators, cardiac monitors, pacemakers, insulin pumps,
and hearing aids. It may also interfere with metal detectors.
Air Travel
Because it is a cellular communication device, the GoSafe 2
Mobile Pendant may interfere with aircraft communications

while in normal Stand-by mode. For this reason, the Pendant
has a Sleep Mode. Be sure to place your Pendant in sleep
mode during air travel. Please see instructions for putting your
Pendant in Sleep Mode on page 32.
The GoSafe 2 Mobile Pendant can only place a Help Call
when in Stand-by mode, and when the AT&T wireless
network is available and when it has sucient battery charge.
Charging the battery
Your GoSafe 2 Mobile Pendant is powered by a rechargeable
battery. This means that it must be re-charged regularly, as
indicated, for proper function. The Pendant will chime once and
the Indicator Light will ash orange whenever the Pendant initially
needs to be charged. Typically, it will take less than 45 minutes to
charge your GoSafe 2 Mobile Pendant 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
Pendant in the charger. Your Pendant is fully charged when it
chimes and the Indicator Light turns to a steady green. If you do
not charge the Pendant at the time of Initial Charge Indication,
the battery charge will continue to deplete and the orange light
will continue to blink. Once it reaches a critical power state, the
Pendant will reach the Critical Charge Indication. When this
happens, the Pendant 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 Pendant if it reaches this point, but this will not hurt
the device.

Warning: once the Critical Charge Warning is played and the
Pendant shuts down, it cannot be used to make a help call 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

acknowledge that you are charging. The Indicator Light will
begin ashing Green.
3. Charge until the Indicator Light shines a steady green.
4. Remove from the charger. The green Indicator Light will turn
o, and the Pendant 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, the Pendant includes a “shake to indicate”
feature. To determine if your Pendant is powered on, hold it
in your hand and shake it briey, watching the Indicator Light
while shaking.
• A ashing green Indicator Light when shaken means that
the Pendant has sucient battery power for
normal operation.
• No ashing green Indicator Light means that the battery is
dead and needs to be charged, or that the Pendant is in
sleep mode.
Important reminders
• You should continue wearing your Pendant while it is being
charged. Please be cautious not to trip on the Charger
power cord while doing so.
• When you are charging your Pendant while wearing it,
be sure to remove it from the Charger prior to standing
up. Failure to do so may compromise the fall detection
capability of your Pendant.
• Do not charge your Pendant while sleeping or bathing.
Agency Filing Copy
32 Questions? Call 1-800-635-6156
• Battery life varies based on activity level, cellular signal
strength in your area, battery age, and actual emergency
use. Your GoSafe 2 Mobile Pendant 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 2 Pendant once every 2-3 days.
Sleep mode
The GoSafe 2 Mobile Pendant utilizes cellular communication
technology. As such, you must turn it o in the following
circumstances:
• During Air Travel (when ying on an airplane) your Pendant
must be placed in Sleep Mode. This is true regardless
of whether you are “carrying-on” the pendant into the
passenger cabin, or if you pack the Pendant in your
checked luggage.
• If you are returning the Pendant to Lifeline
The Pendant has a Sleep Mode for these situations. To put
the Pendant into sleep mode, press and hold down the Help
Button for 10 seconds. Your Pendant 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. The Pendant will conrm it is entering sleep
mode by saying: “Your Help Button is now turning o.”
You should take the Pendant out of Sleep Mode as soon as
conveniently possible upon exiting the plane to allow it to
Agency Filing Copy
33Questions? Call 1-800-635-6156
re-orient to its new location. To exit Sleep Mode, press
the Help Button once and release it. Your Pendant 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 Pendant 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 the Pendant is
in Sleep Mode. Be sure to remember to exit Sleep Mode as
soon as wireless/electronic device use is allowed, e.g., after
the airplane has landed.
Note: If you are returning a GoSafe 2 Mobile Pendant to Philips
Lifeline for service, replacement or recycling, you must contact
Philips Lifeline at the number at the bottom of the page prior
to returning it. Philips Lifeline will provide you with special
packaging and instructions for return to help ensure that the
Pendant does not send help signals while in-transit. Do not
ship the Pendant without notifying Philips Lifeline that you are
doing so.
Recommended usage
• Press the Help Button on your Pendant any time you need
help, or in situations/locations outside the home where you
want to determine if the AT&T wireless network is available.
• Wear your Pendant at ALL times, at and away from home.
The GoSafe 2 Mobile Pendant can send a Help Call from
any location where the AT&T wireless network is available.
Agency Filing Copy
34 Questions? Call 1-800-635-6156
• During an alarm, you can talk to Philips
Lifeline using the microphone and
speaker on your Pendant. For best
results, hold the Pendant up and away
from your chest when you are speaking
to Lifeline. Maintain a minimum
separation distance of 10mm/0.394
inches when operating the device in this
manner. 10mm is less than the thickness
of your nger.
• Your GoSafe 2 Mobile Pendant should be worn while
showering or bathing. The Pendant 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 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 longer than 30 minutes.
• Do not throw or toss the Pendant onto a bed, table, or
other surface because it may interpret this as a fall and
accidentally send a Help Call.
• Your Pendant may be worn outside of or underneath your
clothing depending on your preference. Regardless, it must
always be worn as a pendant to help provide
proper function.
• Your Pendant can be used while driving. However, when
entering and exiting your vehicle, take care to prevent the
Pendant from hitting the steering wheel because it may
accidentally send a Help Call.

GoSafe 2 Mobile Pendant – Alarms
Introduction
There are two types of alarms processed by the GoSafe 2
Mobile Pendant.
• High Priority – Require immediate response
(by the Response Center)
• Medium Priority – Require prompt response
(by the operator/user)
Additionally, the Pendant also plays verbal informational
messages and conrmation 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 Pendant detects a High priority alarm: The Indicator
Light on the Pendant ashes red, the device audible alarm
sounds and a recorded voice message is played.
When the Pendant detects a Medium priority alarm: The light
on the Pendant ashes orange, the Pendant may play a chime
and/or a voice prompt.
Agency Filing Copy
36 Questions? Call 1-800-635-6156
Silencing Alarms
Once a High Priority alarm is detected, it cannot be silenced.
During Medium Priority alarms, the Pendant will play a
sound and possibly a voice prompt once upon detection of
the alarm, but the red Indicator Light ashes until the alarm
condition is corrected.
Resetting an Alarm – what does reset mean?
High Priority alarms are normally reset (cancelled once
addressed) by the Response Center after the alarm has been
addressed. Additionally, the Pendant 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 Pendant will automatically reset the alarm after 30
minutes.
Note: Putting the GoSafe 2 Mobile Pendant into Sleep Mode
during an active high priority alarm will reset the device, canceling
the alarm. However, a prolonged (10 seconds) button press
is required to put the Pendant into Sleep Mode and a Voice
Message is played requiring the user to conrm this action by
pressing the Help Button again to actually enter Sleep Mode.
Since the alarm likely has already been reported to the Response
Center, Philips Lifeline will likely attempt to contact the Subscriber
via alternative means if this happens - such as by calling the
home phone or cell phone of the user. If they are not able to
contact the user, the Response Center will begin to facilitate
response. If an alarm is accidentally initiated by the User, they
should not put the Pendant in Sleep Mode to try to cancel the
alarm. Instead, the User should wait for the Response Center

to establish voice communication and simply state that no help
is needed.
The GoSafe 2 Mobile Pendant self-cancels certain Medium
Priority alarms if the cause of the alarm is corrected, stopping
the orange ashing Indicator Light from illuminating.

Delay in Determining Alarms
Reporting high priority help alarms from the GoSafe 2 Mobile
Pendant to the Lifeline Response Center is done promptly
when generated by a button press, depending on the status of
the cellular network and signal strength available.
The GoSafe 2 Mobile Pendant provides an added layer
of protection. It is designed to detect falls under certain
conditions. It takes approximately 35-40 seconds to determine
that an activity that resembles a fall has occurred, and that the
User has not recovered from the fall on their own. If a fall is
detected, 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
