1 Introduction
User Guide
The Identicom has the appearance of a simple ID card holder. It holds your
ID card, and also discreetly functions as a communication device to help
ensure your personal safety.
In the plastic body behind the ID card, the Identicom contains a mobile
phone, a SIM card and a microphone, together with controls and indicators
that allow you to operate the device. There is also a vibration motor that
can indicate confirmation of your actions by giving recognisable periods of
silent vibration.
The organisation that employs you, together with a call-centre service
provider, are responsible for configuring the SIM card in your Identicom so
that it operates in the way best suited to your needs. This configuration
process includes setting up conditions called “Amber Alerts” and “Red
Alerts”, and defining standard text messages that will be sent to particular
phone numbers in a specific range of situations.
The main functions of the Identicom are:
•
Before entering a potentially dangerous situation, you can check the
Identicom’s battery level and the signal strength (to make sure that
it will be able to operate effectively if needed).
•
You can start an Amber Alert before you begin a potentially
hazardous visit. This sends standard text messages, allows you to
send a brief voice message, and can alert your back-up services to
check your situation if you haven’t cancelled the Amber Alert
within a set time.
•
You can start a Red Alert state with a discreet press of a button
while you are in a hazardous situation, or at any time when
required. This sends standard text messages to the designated
phone numbers, and also opens a voice link to allow the call centre
to hear.

Charger (including country adapter)
Installing the Lanyard or Lapel Clip
You install the lanyard at corners A and B (see the illustration on the
previous page) for a landscape ID card, or at corners A and C for a portrait
ID card. The attachment at corner A is by way of a plastic plug which fits
tightly in its socket, but which will pull out if tugged firmly. The Identicom
can be configured so that pulling the lanyard plug out of its socket will
cause a Red Alert. This is designed to help you in case a person tries to
remove the Identicom from you by force. A Red Alert caused in this
manner is referred to as a Rip Alarm Alert.
The figure below shows the plug in its socket at corner A.
Plug
Three plugs are provided with the Identicom offering increasing degrees of
tightness in the socket. Use the plug labelled 1 for the tighest fitting, which
requires the greatest amount of force to remove it, or the plug labelled 3 for

the lighest fitting, which requires the least amount of force to remove it. We
recommend starting with the middle plug – labelled 2.
Use the following procedure to attach the lanyard.
ENGLISH
1.
Thread the fine loop at one end of the lanyard part way through the
attachment hole in the plug you have selected to use.
2.
Thread the other end of the lanyard through the loop of cord that has
passed through the hole in the plug. Pull the lanyard tight, so that the
loop of cord is snug around the plastic plug.
3.
Repeat this procedure with the other end of the lanyard at the chosen
attachment point (B for landscape or C for portrait). Pull the lanyard
tight, so that the loop of cord is snug around the attachment point.
4.
Insert the plastic plug into its socket at corner A. The lanyard is now
attached.
If you do not want to use the lanyard, you can attach a lapel clip at point D
(see the illustration on page 2). If you are not using the lanyard, insert one
of the plugs into the socket at corner A to prevent dust or dirt from
entering the socket.
Note:
There is no Rip Alarm switch at the lapel clip attachment point. The
Rip Alarm function can be enabled with the lapel clip by using the lapel
clip lanyard accessory sold separately.
Inserting the SIM card
SIM card configuration is carried out by your employer, working in
conjunction with the service provider. The SIM card is normally preconfigured so that you can use the Identicom immediately.
If your ID card is already fitted into the Identicom, you must remove it to
get access to the SIM card door. Gently press down on the edge of the ID
card nearest the exit slot, then slide the ID card out.
Use the following procedure to insert the SIM card.

ENGLISH
5.
The gold connector must be on the under side of the SIM card, and the
angled corner of the card must be next to the bottom right corner of the
device (looking at the front).
Close the SIM card door by pressing down on the rounded corner.
The Identicom is now ready for use, but you should always charge the
device before using it.
Note:
If the SIM card is removed, the Identicom switches itself into the ‘power
off’ state. You must insert a valid SIM card to be able to use the unit.
Charging
The Identicom must be fully charged before you attempt to use it, in order
to condition the battery fully. We recommend leaving the device on charge
for a minimum of 6 hours.
To make sure that the battery is fully charged when you need to use the
Identicom, always charge the device in between uses.
To charge the Identicom, plug in and switch on the charger, then connect
the charging cable to the Identicom charge connection point (see the
illustration on page 2).
When the Identicom is connected to the charger, the Battery LED is active.
(The Battery LED is on the back of the device, next to the Status button.)
As the battery charges, the LED changes from flashing red, to flashing
amber, and when the battery is fully charged, to constant green. If the
battery LED remains red for a long period, the Identicom requires a
service.
The Identicom is configured by SMS text message, but it must be
connected to the charger for configuration to take place.
Inserting your ID card
Fit your ID card into the slot at the right side of the Identicom (as you look
at the front) and slide it in until it clicks into place. To remove your card,
gently press down on the edge of the ID card nearest the exit slot, then
slide the card out.
Switching the device on and off
•
page 6
To check that Identicom is on, press the Status button for 2
seconds. If the LEDs do not start flashing, the Identicom is off.
08/05
3 Status Checking
To switch the Identicom on, press the Status and Amber buttons
together until the LEDs start flashing. The device vibrates briefly to
confirm.
•
To switch the Identicom off, press the Status and Amber buttons
together until the device vibrates twice.
When the Identicom is on, it registers with the mobile phone network and
is ready to communicate an Amber or Red alert. If you go out of coverage
for more than 30 minutes, the Identicom switches to a sleep mode to
preserve battery power. This does not stop the Identicom from working,
but when you press any of the buttons it will take slightly longer to connect
the call or report the status.
3 Status Checking
You can check the Identicom’s battery level and the phone signal strength
before a visit, so that you can make sure that it will be able to operate
effectively if needed.
Battery and Signal status checking
Press and hold the Status button until both the LEDs start to flash red.
After a short while, the battery and signal LEDs stop flashing to indicate
the following:
Battery
Signal
Green
Amber
Red
Good
Low
Poor
Good
Low
Poor or no network
signal
If either LED is red, you should not rely on the Identicom in an emergency.
When the battery LED is Amber, you should recharge the Identicom as
soon as possible.
Refer to the Technical Specifications in part C of this guide for expected
battery life, when charged.
Identicom offers the facility of using vibration patterns to indicate
activation of the Status Check and to confirm that neither the network
coverage nor battery strength LED is red. You set up this function using
the ASE/ASD commands. This function aids the use of Identicom by the
visually impaired.

3 Status Checking
SIM card faults
ENGLISH
If no SIM card is fitted, or there is a fault with the SIM card, the Identicom
switches itself into the ‘power off’ state. You must insert a valid SIM card to
be able to use the unit.
Red and Amber Alert status
If the Identicom is in an Amber Alert state or a Red Alert state when the
Status button is pressed, the status LEDs show a constant indication of the
state:
•
Constant amber indicates an Amber Alert is in progress.
•
Constant red indicates a Red Alert is in progress.
Ending the status display
When both the status LEDs have displayed their status for 5 seconds, the
LEDs are turned off and the device is ready for use.
Note:
page 8
If you press the status button when the unit is out of coverage, the status
is displayed to you by way of the LEDs, but the unit waits until it is
back in coverage before attempting to send a status report (if these have
been set up using the SRE command).

4 Amber Alerts
4 Amber Alerts
Starting an Amber Alert
Press the Amber Alert button for at least 1.5 seconds to start an Amber
Alert. The Identicom gives three short bursts of vibration to confirm the
state. The pre-configured Amber Alert text message is sent to the
designated numbers.
The Identicom also opens a voice call to the designated number, so that you
can send a voice message to describe the situation. The Signal and Battery
LEDs show constant amber while the call is being connected, and then turn
to flashing amber when the connection has been made. The flashing amber
LEDs are the prompt to start the voice message. There is also the option of
having the device vibrate once when the LEDs switch from constant to
flashing as an aid for the visually impaired (see commands ASE/ASD).
The time allowed for you to send the voice message can be set between 1
and 60 seconds. Ten seconds before the end of this call period, the LEDs
change back to constant amber to warn you that the call period is soon
ending. When the voice call period ends, the Signal and Battery LEDs go
out. There is the option of having a timer period initiated after the voice call
period ends. This is detailed later in this section.
When you start the Amber Alert, the Identicom attempts to dial, to allow
your voice message to be left, before sending any text messages. If the voice
call cannot be connected, it will try sending the text message before retrying
the voice call. The number of retries for the calls and messages can be
configured for your Identicom between 0 and 9.
The length of time allowed for an Amber Alert Timer period, initiated after
the voice call period ends, can be configured for each Identicom to be
anything between 1 and 60 minutes.
If you press the Status button during an Amber Alert Timer period, the
Status LEDs show amber to confirm the Amber Alert state.
1 minute before the end of the Amber Alert Timer period, the Identicom
gives five long bursts of vibration to remind you to take some action. This
vibration pattern can also be pre-configured for the number of bursts and

ENGLISH
An Amber Alert is an advance warning to your back-up services that you
are about to enter a potentially dangerous situation. Typically, you would
start an Amber Alert before you enter the situation, such as in the street or
your car before entering a house. This gives you the privacy to send a brief
voice message describing the situation and/or details of your location.
4 Amber Alerts
duration per burst (see SNE command). The options at the end of this
Amber Alert Timer period are explained in the next section.
ENGLISH
Your Identicom can be configured to use Amber Alerts without any timer
period. This is achieved using the Disable Amber Timer period command
(ATD). In this mode of operation, there is no automatic escalation from
Amber Alert to Red Alert.
Options when in an Amber Alert Timer Period
Your options when in an Amber Alert Timer period are to cancel it, to
extend the period, or to allow it to escalate into a Red Alert.
•
You can press the Amber Alert button for more than 1.5 seconds to
cancel the Amber Alert Timer period. This signifies that the
potential danger did not arise, or that you are now away from the
hazardous situation. The Identicom signals confirmation by giving
two short vibrations. The pre-configured Amber Alert Cancelled
text message is sent to the designated numbers.
•
You can press the Amber Alert button for less than 1.5 seconds to
extend the Amber Alert Timer period. The duration of the
extension is also configurable between 1 and 60 minutes. The
Identicom gives a short burst of vibration to confirm the extension.
The end of the extension period is signalled in the same way as the
original Amber Alert Timer period, and you can continue to extend
repeatedly, for as long as you need.
•
If you do nothing when the Amber Alert Timer period ends, the
implication is that you were not able to take any action, the
Identicom enters the Red Alert state. (This is described in Section 5
of this guide.)
You do not have to wait for the signalled end of the Amber Alert Timer
period to cancel it or extend it. Pressing the Amber Alert button for more or
less than 1.5 seconds at any time during the Amber Alert Timer period will
cancel or extend the period, as described above.
If you are using your Identicom with the Amber Alert Timer period enabled
(ATE command), you also have the option of configuring it to send a preconfigured text message when you choose to extend the Amber Alert Timer
period. This option is configured using the AXE, AXD and AE commands.

Note:
The legality of recording such events varies from country to country.
Please check with your service provider.
Starting a Red Alert
There are three ways of starting a Red Alert:
•
Press the Red Alert button for more than 1.5 seconds. The duration
of the press of the Red Alert button to activate Red Alerts can be
pre-configured between 0.2 and 3 seconds using the SNR
command.
•
Allow an Amber Alert Timer period to expire and escalate into a
Red Alert.
•
If your Identicom is configured to do so, and your lanyard is fitted,
forcible removal of the lanyard plug will also start a Red Alert.
(These are explained in Section 6 of this guide.)
When a Red Alert is started, the Identicom gives three short bursts of
vibration to confirm the state. The Identicom opens a voice call to the
designated number and enables the microphone, so that your back-up
services can listen to and/or record the situation. Also, the pre-configured
Red Alert text messages are sent to the designated numbers. You can
configure different messages to send to the primary and secondary
telephone numbers, using the PA and RA commands.
If you initiate a Red Alert when your unit is out of coverage, the Identicom
will not be able to send the Red Alert messages, so it gives a single long
vibration pulse instead of the three short pulses. This indicates that the Red
Alert has not been successfully transmitted.
When a Red Alert is started, the Identicom attempts to dial the voice call
number before sending any text messages. If the voice call cannot be
connected, it will try sending the text message before retrying the voice call.
The number of retries for the calls and messages can be configured for your
Identicom between 0 and 9. For the voice call, your Identicom can also be
configured to keep trying to make the connection continuously, with no
limit to the number of retries.
08/05
page 11
ENGLISH
A Red Alert is an emergency state. It is not necessarily a violent situation: it
could be a case of verbal abuse which you want your back-up services to
listen to and record.
5 Red Alerts
ENGLISH
The call length of a Red Alert can be configured for each Identicom to be
anything between 1 and 120 minutes. The Red Alert ends only when it is
cleared by you, or, if your Identicom is configured to do so, remotely by
your service provider.
Clearing a Red Alert
Press the Red Alert button for more than 1.5 seconds to clear the alert. The
duration of the press of the Red Alert button to deactivate Red Alerts can
be pre-configured between 0.2 and 3 seconds using the SNR command.
This signifies that the dangerous situation has eased. The Identicom signals
confirmation by giving two short vibrations. The pre-configured Red Alert
Cleared text messages are sent to the designated numbers. Also, the voice
call link is terminated. You can configure different messages to send to the
primary and secondary telephone numbers, using the PC and RC
commands.
There are two ways that your Identicom can be configured to clear Red
Alerts:
•
A Red Alert can be cleared only by you pressing the Red Alert
button for more than 1.5 seconds.
•
A Red Alert can be cleared either by you pressing the Red Alert
button for more than 1.5 seconds, or remotely by the service
provider terminating the call.
Your managers or the service providers will be able to tell you how your
Identicom is configured.

Note:
Rip Alarm Alerts cannot be triggered by the lapel clip unless the lapel
clip lanyard accessory is utilised.
A Rip Alarm Alert starts a Red Alert in exactly the same way as described in
Section 5 of this guide.
To cancel a Rip Alarm Alert, you must first re-insert the lanyard plug, and
then press the Red Alert button for more than 1.5 seconds. This applies
whether it was a genuine Rip Alarm, or whether the lanyard was detached
accidentally.

You can configure whether the Identicom will use a timed period
for Amber Alerts or not (ATE / ATD).
08/05
A. Configuration Options
•
There are various time periods which you can configure to suit the
typical work patterns, such as duration of visits:
Duration of voice call at start of Amber Alert (SCT)
Duration of initial Amber Alert Timer period (CAT)
Duration of extension to Amber Alert Timer period (CRT)
Duration of Red Alert period (SRC)
•
You can configure the Identicom to send standard text messages
when an Amber Alert period is extended. (AXE / AXD)
•
You can configure the Identicom to not connect the voice call and
not send the associated text messages, but go straight into the
Amber Alert Timer period. (AME / AMD)
•
You can configure the number of vibrations and duration of each
vibration confirming the end of the Amber Alert Timer period.
(SNE)
•
You can configure the Identicom to give a continuing ‘heartbeat’
confirmation that a Red Alert call is still connected and active.
(SHB)
•
You can configure the length of time required to press and hold the
Red Alert button to initiate a Red Alert. (SNR)
•
You can configure the Identicom to initiate vibration patterns
associated with the Status Check and Amber Alert LED prompt to
leave the voice message. This aids the use of Identicom by those
visually impaired. (ASE)
•
You can configure whether text messages are to be sent when the
unit is connected to or disconnected from the charger. (CTE / CTD)
If you enable this option, you can also configure the messages to be
sent. (CO / CD)
•
You can configure the Identicom to enable or disable Rip Alarm
Alerts, as described in Section 6 of the User Guide. (CME / CMD)
•
You can configure whether status report text messages are sent
when the Status button is pressed, and where these messages are
sent (Primary, Secondary or both). (SRE)
•
You can configure the actual signal levels for the Green / Amber /
Red signal strength indications. (SNL)

B. Configuration Commands
•
You can configure the Identicom to allow cancellation of Red Alert
states only by the device user, or additionally by termination of the
Red Alert period. (CRE / CRD)
ENGLISH
The commands to perform these configuration options are described in
detail in Section B of this guide.
The Configuration process
The Identicom being configured must be connected to its charger to receive
the configuration message. This is a security feature to inhibit unauthorised
configuration.
To configure the device, you send a text message to the Identicom
containing all the commands needed for the new configuration. The
Identicom receives the information and updates the configuration on the
SIM card. (This enables the SIM card to be transferred to another unit, if
required.)
Note that the maximum length of a configuration message is 160
characters, and the Text Message commands cannot be concatenated. If
you are configuring all the text messages, the phone numbers and the time
periods, you will need to break the configuration into a number of strings
of commands, each within the 160 character limit.
B. Configuration Commands
The configuration commands are explained in the following sections:
page 18
Telephone Number commands
Standard Text Message commands
Time Period commands
Amber Alert Timer commands
Amber Alert timer extension message commands
Enable/disable Amber Alert call and texts commands
Amber Alert Timer timeout vibration pattern command
Red Alert ‘heartbeat’ command
Charger message commands
Rip Alarm commands
Status Reporting command
Signal level command
Red Alert Termination commands

B. Configuration Commands
An example of a single command:
.SPN3,01234567890.
and two commands in the same configuration message:
.SPN3,01234567890.SSN3,01234560987.
Note that there is a limit of 160 characters on any configuration message.
When setting up the entire set of parameters, you will need to break the
configuration into a number of strings of commands, each within the 160
character limit.
If there is an error in a command, that command will be ignored, but any
following commands will be actioned.
Later commands will overwrite earlier ones, even in the same configuration
message. Therefore, if you accidentally include two different SPN
commands in the same message, the phone number designated in the
second message will be the one that is used.

ENGLISH
DTMF command
Red Alert button switch delay command
Status Check and Amber Alert voice message prompt
vibration pattern command
o Set Defaults command
o Download Configuration command
All commands must start and end with a full stop (.), but the termination
character from one command can act as the start character for the next
command, when you are including several commands in a single
configuration message.
