This manual explains how your AutoAlert help button allows you to call for help at the press of a button. In addition, if the AutoAlert button detects a fall, it can automatically call for help. Before using your AutoAlert you should read and understand this manual, paying careful attention to the warnings below. 0940823_PA_User MANUALSLO91212.indd 3 9/19/12 9:17 AM I I I I VVarn ings WARNING indicates the potentially hazardous situation which, if these instructions are not followed, could result in possible injury, death, or other serious adverse reaction. Front View Button Push here to send a Help Call. Always press your AutoAlert Button if you need help even if you fall. The AutoAlert Help Button may not detect every fall • Examples include, but are not limited to: A gradual slide such as from a seated position Lowering oneself slowing to the ground (to brace the impact of a fall) A fall that is less than a vertical distance of 100 cm can also affect the ability of the device to detect a fall. Always press your button if you need help. • Certain conditions can affect the ability of the AutoAlert Help Button to detect a fall. If you live at an altitude above 6,600 feet If you are less than 4 feet 6 inches in height If you weigh less than 88 pounds The ability to send a help call by pressing the button is not affected. Getting up from a fall will cancel the automatic Help Call If the AutoAlert Help Button detects that you have gotten up within 30 seconds of a fall being detected, a Help Call will not be generated. Do not attempt to stand if you feel unable to. If you think you need assistance, press your Help Button immediately to initiate the Help Call. O94O823_AAUsor MANUAL_SL091 21 2.indd 4 9/19/12 9:17AM + Neck Cord Strangulation Risk One advantage of the AutoAlert Help Button being worn as a pendant is that the button is accessible by either of your hands. However, 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 provided on the AutoAlert Help Button is designed to break apart under certain conditions to reduce the risk of strangulation. If the neck cord breaks ask for a replacement. • Do not use any other neck cord than the one provided by Lifeline. Other neck cords may not provide the feature to break apart therefore increasing the risk of strangulation. The AutoAlert Help Button will not work when outside the coverage range established on your campus. • The AutoAlert Help Button is a radio frequency (RF) device that transmits a signal to the CarePoint system on your campus which sends a message to a staff member in your community who can respond. The CarePoint system may provide coverage within your campus, and this button can not summon assistance if you travel off the campus. • The signal range may be affected by environmental factors, including building materials, large masses covering the AutoAlert Help Button (e.g., a person falling on top of ii), and submersion in liquid. O94B23_AA_UserMANUAL_SL_O91212indd 5 9/19/12 9:17AM + CAUTION indicates the potential of device malfunction, device failure, damage of the device, or damage to other property. And, if these instructions are not followed, may result in minor or moderate injury. Keeping the Vent Hole Clear of Obstructions The vent located on the back of the AutoAlert Help Button is part of the fall detection sensor system and needs to remain clear of obstructions (e.g., lint or food products). A continuous flow of water (e.g., a shower) hitting the vent directly may also temporarily obstruct the vent. However your AutoAlert Help Button is waterproof and should be worn at all times even when bathing or showering. — AutoAlert Help Button is Waterproof • Your AutoAlert Help Button is waterproof and should be worn at all times even when bathing or showering. • The AutoAlert Help Button has a water resistance rating of IPX7 which means that it can withstand being submerged up to a depth of 1 meter for 30 minutes. — Electromagnetic Interference The AutoAlert Help Button may interfere with certain electrical equipment, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) medical equipment. It may also interfere with aircraft communications, so do not take the AutoAlert Help Button aboard an airplane. You may pack the AutoAlert Help Button in checked luggage. 0940823_AA_User MANUAL_SL_091 21 2.indd 6 9/19/12 9:17AM 1 I I I I Servicing the Device There are no user-serviceable parts inside the AutoAlert Help Button. Do not attempt to open or modify the device. Device Battery • The AutoAlert Help Button has a built-in lithium battery that provides a long service life without the need for replacement or recharging by the user. The user does not need to monitor the battery life as this is done automatically by the AutoAlert Help Button. The AutoAlert Help Button will automatically send a signal when the battery will soon need to be replaced, and a staff member will contact you to replace it with a new button. • It is important to start using your replacement button immediately when received and return your old button. The sensors that are used to detect falls will be disabled when there are approximately 7 days of battery life remaining. This is to conserve battery life for generating Help Calls initiated by a button press. • The AutoAlert Help Button should never be exposed to flames or intense heat and is not suitable for use in the presence of flammable mixtures. • The lithium battery within the AutoAlert Help Button must be disposed of properly. Do not discard the Help Button in the trash. Always return the AutoAlert Help Button to a staff member for proper disposal. 0940823_AA_User MANUALSLO91212.jndd 9/19/12 917 AM + AutoAlert Help Button Overview Your AutoAlert Help Button allows you to call for help on your campus. Press your button if you need help. Front View Button The AutoAlert Help Button Push here to provides an added layer of send a Help Call. protection. If you fall and can’t get up or are unable to push your Help Button, and the AutoAlert Help Button has registered a fall, the AutoAlert Help Button will automatically transmit a signal to the CarePoint system on your campus which sends a message to a staff member in your community who can respond. • Always wear your AutoAlert Help Button. Your AutoAlert Help Button is waterproof and should be worn at all times — even when bathing and sleeping. • Push your AutoAlert Help Button whenever you need help or if you have fallen. • If you fall and cannot push your AutoAlert Help Button, and the AutoAlert Help Button has registered a fall, the AutoAlert Help Button will automatically send a Help Call within one minute. What to Expect If You Fall If the AutoAlert Help Button detects a fall and you are unable to push your help button, the button will automatically send a Help Call within one minute so that a staff member in your community can respond. The AutoAlert Help Button detects standing up in the same way it detects falls. If you fall and stand up in less than 30 seconds, a Help Call will not be 0940B23_AA_User MANUAL_SL091 21 2.indd 8 9/19/12 917AM I IU automatically generated. This allows you to recover from falls that are not serious enough to require help. However, if you think you need assistance, wait for help, rather than attempting to stand up if you feel unable to. As always, you should still push your AutoAlert Help Button any time you need help. False “fall detected” alarms may occasionally occur • While the AutoAlert Button is designed to have very few false alarms, it can be expected that the AutoAlert Help Button will occasionally trigger a fall detected alarm when there was not a fall (i.e. a false alarm.) • Occasional false alarms do not indicate the AutoAlert Button is malfunctioning. Adjusting the Neck Cord To shorten: With a tab between your first finger and thumb of each hand, slide both tabs apart in line with your shoulders. To lengthen: Pull one strand of the neck cord while sliding the tab to the back. Repeat on the other side.
