In Caseof EmergencyPress HerePERS Console Operating ModesYour PERS Console operates in three operating “modes”. Each mode sets the Console to act differently to match your lifestyle at different times of the day.In any of the three modes, the Console is always ready to report an emergency if you press the HELP button or activate one of your portable emergency sensors.Home ModeHome Mode is for when you are at home during the day. In Home Mode, the Console knows if your emergency sensors are present and ready to use. If a sensor does not regularly report to the Console, a trouble report can be sent to your monitoring service.Away ModeAway Mode is for when you are going to be away from home. In Away Mode, the Console knows that your portable emergency sensors might be away from the Console and will abstain from reporting any sensors that are missing. Console announcements and reminder messages are also suppressed in Away Mode.Night ModeNight Mode is for nighttime when you are sleeping or do not wish to be disturbed. In Night Mode, Console operates the same as in Home Mode except that announcements and reminder messages are suppressed.In Case of EmergencyIf you need assistance, place a call to the monitoring service by pressing the HELP button on the Console or by activating one of your portable emergency sensors. Remember, the portable emergency sensors send radio signals to the Console, and there is a limit to the maximum distance from the Console that the portable emergency sensors can be used.Do not press Cancel before talking to the monitoring service dispatcher or your emergency call may be canceled.The Console will announce “Emergency call being placed”.
