Product Summary
The Water Resistant Personal Help Button is a wireless
device used for activating police, medical or auxiliary
alarms throughout the premises. When the help button is
pressed, the light mounted under the cover will blink and
an alarm signal is transmitted.
The status of the battery is sent in every transmission.
The battery is field replaceable.
The help button has four adapters that easily attach to the
back of the button. Using these adapters, the help button
can be mounted on the wall or worn as a belt clip, watch
or pendant.
Assembly Guidelines
Use the following guidelines when assembling the help
button.
•The help button should be learned into supervised
groups when used for life safety applications.
•The transmitter in the help button has an open-air
range of at least 375 feet, but the installation environ-
ment may influence this range.
•Have the customer press the help button with their
thumb or finger to ensure that they have no problems
activating the help button.
•When worn as a pendant, instruct your customer to
grasp the help button in their hand and press it using a
thumb or finger as opposed to pressing it against their
chest. This will give them the best transmitting range.

create stress on the plastic. Be careful not to bend or break
the rectangular snap-on latch supports when reassembling
the help button.
