Setting up
Three simple steps
1. Place HW 9000 in a suitable position
2. Connect HW 9000 to your telephone line and a power outlet
3. Test HW 9000 by pressing the radio pendant to raise an alarm
Place HW 9000
Place HW 9000 on a flat surface, or have it
mounted on a wall. Put it somewhere you can
easily reach. It should also be close to a
telephone jack and a power outlet.
Attaching to a wall. If you decide to
attach your HW 9000 to a wall then you
will find slots to grip the screws on the
back of HW 9000. There is a separate
paper template included in the packaging
that will show you where to drill the holes
for the screws.
Note: As most users do not mount HW 9000 on
the wall the screws needed for mounting are
not provided.
Although HW 9000 is a rather clever piece of equipment, it is quite robust, and you can treat
it just like any other telephone. However, this means that you should not:
•
•
•
•
•
Place your HW 9000 next to something that makes a lot of noise, such as next to
a television, radio or washing machine.
Put it right next to your oven, or close to any other heat source.
Set HW 9000 in a place where it will get damp, such as a bathroom, or near house
plants that are sprayed at any time.
Place it very close to any large metal objects, such as microwave ovens, as large
pieces of metal stop the signals from the radio pendant reaching HW 9000.
Put HW 9000 on top of something soft, such as a thick towel, as this can stop
sound reaching the microphone.
HW 9000 User Guide
Connect HW 9000
1. First, connect your HW 9000 to a telephone jack in your home using the
cable that came in the box with HW 9000. Do not connect HW 9000 to the
telephone jack via a telephone adaptor.
2. You can then connect your ordinary telephone to HW 9000. If you do not
connect your other telephones through HW 9000, but use a telephone
adaptor instead, then HW 9000 may have difficulty making alarm calls if
another telephone is being used for a call.
3. Next, connect the lead from the AC adapter to the back of your HW
9000, and then plug the AC adapter into a power outlet.
HW 9000 User Guide
4. When you connect your HW 9000 to
the power the largest button on the
top of your HW 9000 should light up.
Test HW 9000
Once you have connected your HW 9000 you can test it. Press the button on
the Amie pendant or Fall Detector that came with your HW 9000, and wait a
few seconds. HW 9000 will call your response center. When your call is answered
tell the operator that you are testing your new HW 9000—the operator will be
pleased to hear from you.
Problems?
In the unlikely event that something does not work as you expect then consult
the Problems and Answers section towards the back of this guide.
HW 9000 User Guide
Using HW 9000
Requesting help
If you need help simply press the button
on your Amie pendant (or Fall Detector).
This sends a signal to HW 9000 which
tells it to call your response center.
Alternatively, if you can easily reach your
HW 9000 you can press the large alarm
button.
(Your home can also be fitted with
extra buttons and pull cords that raise
an alarm. The person who installs these
in your home will show you where they
are and how they work).
Cancelling
If you accidentally raise an alarm call (i.e.
you unintentionally press one of the alarm
buttons on your HW 9000 or radio
pendant) you can cancel the alarm call by
waiting five seconds and then pressing
your HW 9000’s Cancel key. However, once
the call reaches a response center pressing
the Cancel key will have no effect. This is a
safety feature. When the operator answers your call simply explain that it was an
error—the operator will be pleased to hear from you.
HW 9000 User Guide
Answering a call
When the phone rings you can answer it in any of the four following ways:
1. Pick up the handset of the telephone
attached to HW 9000.
2. Press the Speaker user key on the top of
your HW 9000. This is the user key with
Speaker displayed beside it.
3. Press the button on your Amie pendant (or Fall Detector). This method
of answering a call can be turned off
by an installer or your response center,
and so you need to check that it has
been set to work on your HW 9000. If
you answer a call using your radio
pendant you will only be able to carry
on a hands-free conversation if you are
close enough to hear and speak to
your HW 9000. You can end the call
by pressing the button on your radio
pendant again.
4. Press the Cancel key on your HW
9000. Press the Cancel key again
to end the call.
HW 9000 User Guide
Making a call
You can make a call in the three following ways:
1. Press any of the Speed Dial keys
on the top of your HW 9000.
These will automatically call the
friend or contact whose name is
displayed beside the key.
2. Press the Speaker key, and then lift the flap and enter the telephone
number to call.
3. If you have a telephone plugged into your HW 9000 you can use it
to make and take calls as normal. Simply lift the receiver and dial
the number.
HW 9000 User Guide
Adjusting the volume
On the top of HW 9000 there are two keys—one increases the volume and
the other decreases it. These keys adjust the volume of the ringing you hear
when someone calls you. If you need HW 9000 to ring louder when someone
calls then press the Up key and you will hear HW 9000 ring once for each
time you press.
You can also use these keys to adjust the volume of the caller’s speech.
If you cannot clearly hear someone who has called you then press the Up key
to increase the volume of their speech.
Up
Down
In short, if you are in the middle of a telephone conversation these volume
keys can be used to make the caller’s speech louder or quieter. Otherwise,
these keys adjust the volume of the ringing you hear when someone calls.
These changes are not temporary. If you increase the volume during a
call then you will find that your HW 9000 remains at this volume for the
following calls.
HW 9000 User Guide
The Away feature
What is the Away feature?
Your HW 9000 can be set up to detect when you are inactive, or to discover and
report a range of other incidents to your response center. For example, if you
are feeling ill you might not get up in the morning. If your HW 9000 has been
configured to detect inactivity it will eventually call your response center to let
the staff know that you have not been active.
To do this reliably it needs to know whether you are in your home or
away from your home. Otherwise, your HW 9000 might think that you are
inactive every time you go away to visit a friend or relative.
Going Away
To tell your HW 9000 that you
are going to be away press the
Away key. You will hear the word
Away spoken, and the Away key
will light up.
Returning home
To tell your HW 9000 that you have
arrived home press the Away key
again. You will hear the word
Home spoken, and the Away key
will turn its light off.
Returning home and raising an alarm
If you return home and raise an alarm by
pressing a button then your HW 9000 will
make an alarm call even if Away is turned
on. After making the call it will
automatically switch the Away feature
off—it will return to its Home status.
HW 9000 User Guide
Using medication reminders
Your HW 9000 can be configured so that
it can store recorded reminder
messages.*
If your unit is set up to provide
medication reminders one of the user
keys will be labelled ‘Message’. When a
timed message is due the HW 9000 will
sound a distinctive chime, the message
key will flash, and you should press the message key. The message will then
be replayed. You can hear the message again by pressing the message key a
second time.
If you are using medication reminders and you are away from home, you
can press the ‘Away’ key before you leave to prevent messages being
announced.
When you return, then press the Away key again to return the unit to its
home status.
*A separate instruction card is included with the unit describing how to record medication reminder messages.
HW 9000 User Guide
Using radio pendants
Radio pendants use radio waves to send out signals to your HW 9000. If you
press the button on a pendant this will send a signal to your HW 9000
telling it to raise an alarm.
HW 9000 can work with a variety of different radio pendants. HW 9000
can even accept signals from several radio pendants at once, although most
HW 9000s are sold with just one pendant, such as an Amie pendant.
•
Keep your radio pendant with you at all times.
•
Keep it by your bedside at night.
•
Do not put your radio pendant into water.
•
Clean only by wiping with a soft, slightly damp cloth.
Amie
Amie radio pendants are light and waterproof. These pendants have small
but powerful batteries which mean that, with normal use, they will last up
to three years. They will normally work up to 80 feet away from your HW
9000.
When you press the alarm button on an Amie pendant the small red light
will light up for about three seconds after each button press. However, if
the battery is low this light will flash on and off when you press the alarm
button. If this happens you should contact your supplier or response center
and they will arrange for a replacement Amie. If you raise an alarm call to a
HealthWatch response center using an Amie pendant with a low battery the
operator is automatically informed about the low battery in your pendant.

Reliability
What if I accidentally unplug HW 9000 from the power outlet? HW 9000
will alert you to the problem by announcing that there is no power, although
this feature can be turned off if you live in a region when power outs in the
middle of the night are common. After a period of time without power HW
9000 will also telephone the response center and automatically let the
response center know that it is without power.
What if I break my radio pendant? The radio pendants are quite tough and
difficult to break, although it is possible to break a radio pendant given
enough force. It is also possible that the battery will run down after three
years. If your pendant does not signal the unit after 3 days the HW 9000 will
signal the response center.
Periodic calls
How does my response center know if my HW 9000 is not working
properly? Your HW 9000 is set to make daily test calls to the response
center. This is a call that is not heard by you, nor is it answered by an operator.
Your HW 9000 will simply communicate directly with the response center
computers to let them know that it is working correctly. If the response
center computers do not receive this regular call then they will alert one of
the call operators. The response center staff will then investigate the problem.
What if I accidentally disconnect the telephone line? If the telephone line is
disconnected then HW 9000 will warn you by making announcements.
Nevertheless, some faults on telephone lines cannot always be directly
detected. This is why HW 9000 is set to make daily test calls to the response
center.

Voice Announcements
If one of your keys is displayed as Record then you will be able to record
some of the announcements your HW 9000 uses. In particular, you can record
announcements for each of the Speed Dial user keys.
Speed Dial announcements
You can record up to five seconds of speech for each Speed Dial key. Normally,
you should record the name of the person. If you record the name Julie, HW
9000 will announce Calling Julie when the Speed Dial is pressed. To record
an announcement for a Speed Dial user key you should do the following.
1. Hold the Speed Dial key down and then press and hold the Record
user key. Your HW 9000 will beep to indicate that recording has
started, and the volume key will
flash during recording.
2. Record a brief message, such as the
name of the person who is called
by the Speed Dial key, and then
release the Speed Dial user key
when you have finished. Your HW
9000 will then beep to indicate that
recording has ended.
3. To test the announcement press the Speed Dial key to make a call,
listen to the recording, and then cancel the call using the Cancel
button before the call is made.
Removing a Speed Dial and announcement. If you hold down a Speed
Dial user key and then press the Cancel key this will delete the name, number
and voice announcement attached to the key.

Problems and Answers
Most problems can be overcome with a few simple checks. If these checks
do not overcome the problem then contact your response center.
The alarm button on top of my HW 9000 does not light up when the power is
turned on
1. Check that the transformer is plugged into the power outlet.
2. Check that the wall outlet is turned on. Do other electrical appliances
work when plugged into the same outlet?
3. Check that the lead from the transformer is properly plugged into
your HW 9000.
The alarm button on top of my HW 9000 continues to flash rapidly
If this rapid flashing continues for a long period (i.e. several minutes) this
indicates that there is a fault with your HW 9000. If this is the case then you
need to contact your supplier and explain the problem.
When I press the button on my Fall Detector or Amie pendant my HW 9000
does not make an alarm call
1. Stand next to your HW 9000 with your radio pendant and try to
raise an alarm. If your radio pendant works when it is close to your
HW 9000, but not when it is further away, then see the section
earlier in this guide on radio pendants.
2. If pressing the button on your Fall Detector or Amie pendant does
not make your HW 9000 raise a call even when you are standing
next to it, then try raising a call by pressing the large alarm button
on the top of your HW 9000. If this does not work then the problem
is with your HW 9000, not your radio pendant (see the section
below). If your HW 9000 raises a call when you press the large
alarm button on the top of it, but does not raise a call when you use
your Amie pendant, then you need to contact your supplier and
explain the problem.
16
HW 9000 User Guide
When I press the large alarm button on top of HW 9000 it does not raise an
alarm
1. Is HW 9000 plugged into the electrical power? Is the large red alarm
button lit up as it should be? If it is not then see the section above
on this topic.
2. Is your HW 9000 properly connected to the telephone line? Check
the connections between your HW 9000 and the telephone jack.
3. Is there a fault with the telephone jack? Try raising an alarm with
your HW 9000 plugged into a different telephone jack if one is
available.
4. If your HW 9000 is properly connected, is the telephone line faulty?
Pick up the handset of the telephone plugged into HW 9000 and
listen for a dial tone. If you cannot hear one there may be a fault on
the line.
5. Is the fault on the line inside your home or outside? Try disconnecting
all other telephones connected to the line and try raising an alarm
again.
Since connecting HW 9000 I cannot receive telephone calls
Disconnect all telephones with the exception of your HW 9000. Then ask
someone to call you. Your HW 9000 unit should ring and you will be able to
answer the call by pressing the yellow Cancel button on your HW 9000.
If your HW 9000 rings when it is the only telephone connected to the
telephone line then this may be because one of your other telephones is
faulty. Alternatively, this may be because you have been connecting too many
telephones to your telephone line.
You should not connect more than four telephone devices to any one
telephone line. HW 9000 counts as one telephone. If you do, then your
telephones may not ring when someone calls. This maximum of four
telephone devices includes fax machines, computer modems and answering
machines.
