Safety information
•Users should pay particular attention to the potential for interference from other
systems operating in the same or adjacent frequency bands.
•The Careium 450 cannot and shall not be dismantled.
•Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. To reduce risk of fire or burns,
do not disassemble, crush, puncture, short external contacts, expose to temperature
above 60° C (140° F), expose to extremely low air pressure or dispose of in fire or
water. Recycle or dispose of used batteries according to the local regulations or
reference guide supplied with your product.
•Only use recommended power supply as stated in the section Power supply.
•The wall socket should be installed near the Careium charger equipment and should
be easily accessible.
•Follow the rules and laws that apply wherever you are, and always turn off the unit
whenever its use is prohibited or can cause interference or hazards. Only use the unit
in its normal user position. The unit should never be used in an operating
temperature exceeding 40 °C or below -10 °C.
Important information
All systems using radio and telecommunications are subject to interference beyond the
user’s control.
Products from Careium are designed to minimize the impact of such interference.
Nevertheless, the user must be aware that system components can be subjected to
interference or other influences that may cause malfunction.
It is therefore important to regularly check that every part of the system works in all
areas, especially radio communications. Contact your supplier immediately in case of
any suspected malfunction.
Keep the product away from interfering devices such as radio transmitters, mobile
phones, DECT-telephones or wireless headphones.
Users should pay particular attention to the risk of disruption from products which
communicate using the same or adjacent frequencies.
For further information, please contact your supplier.

2.1 Medical units
The use of equipment that transmits radio signals, for example, mobile phones, can
interfere with insufficiently protected medical equipment. Consult a doctor or the
manufacturer of the equipment to determine if it has adequate protection against
external radio signals, or if you have any questions. If notices have been put up at health
care facilities instructing you to turn off the unit while you are there, you should comply.
Hospitals and other health care facilities sometimes use equipment that can be sensitive
to external radio signals.
2.1.1 Implanted medical devices
To avoid potential interference, manufacturers of implanted medical devices
recommend a minimum separation of 15 cm between a wireless device and the medical
device. Persons who have such devices should:
•Always keep the wireless device more than 15 cm from the medical device.
•Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
•Hold the wireless device to the ear opposite the medical device.
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn the phone off
immediately If you have any questions about using your wireless device with an
implanted medical device, consult your health care provider.

2.2 Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
This device meets applicable international safety requirements for exposure to radio
waves. Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to
exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves (radio frequency electromagnetic fields)
recommended by international guidelines from the independent scientific organization
ICNIRP (International Commission of Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection). The radio wave
exposure guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate,
or SAR.
The SAR limit for mobile devices is 2 W/kg averaged over 10 grams of tissue and include
a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of
age and health. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions with the
device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. The
highest SAR values under the ICNIRP guidelines for this device model are:
Body SAR: 1.373 W/kg
During normal use, the SAR values for this device are usually well below the values
stated above. This is because, for purposes of system efficiency and to minimize
interference on the network, the output power of your mobile device
is automatically decreased when full power is not needed for the call. The lower the
power output of the device, the lower its SAR value.

Description
Careium 450 is a small and comfortable GPS mobile social alarm that improves security
not only in the home, but everywhere the user goes. It is easy to carry around at all
times, either in a pocket or as a pendant around the neck, and it is waterproof (IP67).
When the emergency assistance button is pressed, an alarm is sent to the monitoring
centre and a built-in speakerphone enables voice communication with the centre's
trained staff. GPS, Wi-Fi and beacon positioning all cooperate to provide not only the
user’s location, but also advanced tracking and geofencing functionality that
incorporates energy-saving technology for achieving long battery time. A mobile social
alarm makes it easier for the senior to maintain an active lifestyle. The alarm should be
directed to an alarm receiving centre, a relative or care staff. The service can be set up as
a social alarm or a GPS-tracking alarm. A mobile social alarm encourages and helps the
senior to stay active and move around freely outside their home, while still feeling safe.
Alarms
5.1 Emergency alarm
This alarm is triggered via the SOS button on the front of the device. Three short presses
in a row, or a long 3s press will activate the alarm.
5.2 Fall alarm
The fall algorithm built into the device can have two levels of sensitivity, high or normal.
In the event of that the device register a fall, then it will check for motion or steps for a
period of 30s after the fall occurred. If motion or steps are recorded within this period,
then the device will cancel the fall alarm This sequence is silent, and user will not know
that the device has registered a fall, and thereafter canceled it.
In the event of that the device register a fall, the user will be alerted with a beep every
second for the coming 30s. During these 30s the fall alarm can be canceled by the user
with a press on the side button.
Note! A false alarm is cancelled if there is movement detected after the fall. If the device
is placed on a hard surface, such as a table, and then not moved, it can generate a false
alarm.

5.3 Geo-Fence alarm
Two type of Geo-fence alarms can be set in the Careium 450. Settings is done via i-care®
online. The fence shall be defined so that the target, such as a house, lake etc. is in the
middle of the fence. The radius of the fence shall not be less than 100m.
•Geo-Fence alarm IN.
oIf the device enter inside this fence the alarm will be triggered
oTwo Geo-fence IN zones can be setup
•Geo-Fence Out
oIf the device go outside of this fence the alarm will be sent
oThe Beacon need to be inside this fence
oOne Geo-Fence OUT zone can be set up
5.4 Technical alarms
•Power on
•Power off alarm
•Low battery alarm
•Critical low battery alarm (EOL alarm)
•Battery full alarm
•Test transmission alarm
Positioning
The device position can be determined in 4 different ways. GPS (and Glonass), Wi-Fi, LBS
and via Beacon.
Every 3 minutes the device will determine its position, except for when it is stationary as
in below cases:
•Static. Definition of static is 7 minutes without movement. Movement is determined
by the accelerometer in the device.
•In contact with at least one beacon.
Satellite’s positioning has the highest priority. Accuracy is often about 10-100m.
Wi-Fi position is determined by 2 or more mac addresses obtained from surrounding Wi-
Fi networks. Accuracy is often about 10-100m.
Base station position is determined by data from 2 or more GSM base stations that the
device have in range. Accuracy is often less than 1000m.
Beacon. If there is a beacon registered as “home” is within range, the system know that
the user is at home.

Sending SMS
The device can send a predefined text message to one predefined receiver. SMS is sent
by pressing the side button on the device. A sound and a vibration are played to confirm
that the SMS will be sent.
The SMS will contain a link with a google map position.
