Testing your Device
BEFORE YOU TEST
The Safety Pendant has been programmed and is ready to use. Please read
the instructions to become familiar with the unit.
It is recommended to test the Medifone every 1-3months.
Performing the Test
1. Inform the emergency contacts that the pendant is being tested.
2. Press and hold the SOS button for 2-3 seconds until ‘SOS” is shown on the
screen and it vibrates and beeps. Contact #1 will be called first.
3. Texts will be sent to your emergency contacts after each call letting them know
you need help, providing a Google Maps link to your location.
4. The contact must press 1 on their phone keypad within 30 seconds of
answering. The contact will hear a message , “Press number 1 on your
keypad” . This will stop the pendant from hanging up and calling the next
contact.
5.
Pressing number 1 tells the MediFone that a real person has answered instead
of a machine, eliminates the time limit on the call, and ceases calls to the
other contacts. The MediFone will proceed to call the next contact if number 1
isn’t pressed by the emergency contact.

Fall Detection
Automatic fall detection will measure your orientation and impact with a surface.
Generally, the MediFone must drop at least 100cm, then stop suddenly to activate. If
the unit senses what may have been a fall, it will beep several times. During this
warning period, you may cancel the Fall Alert before the call sequence begins. To
cancel the alarm, firmly press and hold the SOS Button until the screen displays “Fall
Alert Cancelled”.
Fall detection is particularly useful for those prone to blackouts or epileptic seizures.
It’s easy to turn fall detection off or on. Refer to the Useful Codes (pg 8) or call us
and we’ll make the change for you. It is NOT recommended that you test the fall
alert function while wearing the device.
If fall detection is on and you want to hear what happens when a fall alert is
triggered, hold the device at CHEST HEIGHT over a soft surface (e.g., a carpeted area)
and drop the device. Beeping will sound almost immediately. When the beeps are
heard, firmly press the SOS Button to cancel the calls and texts before they’re sent.
DO NOT throw the device.
The Fall Detection works best when the Medifone is worn on a lanyard. Most of the
time, when someone falls, they are not unconscious. While this may happen, it’s
always best to press the SOS button in the event of a fall to be assured that the
emergency contacts will be notified.
NOTE: Fall detection is NOT 100% accurate; false alarms may occur. It’s also
possible that a fall may not be detected.
Useful Codes
By sending the following ‘codes’ in a text message to the MediFone, you can make
the following changes or receive important information.
BEFORE YOU TEXT
You must use the PASSWORD before sending any code, which is 123456. For
example, send the text code 123456F to locate the device.

To turn off Fall Detection, text: KL000
We have found that KL140 is a good setting for most.

Troubleshooting
ISSUE
COMMONLY KNOWN
CAUSES
POTENTIAL
SOLUTIONS
Emergency
contacts press 1
after answering
but the call
stops
The MediFone takes a couple
seconds after you answer to
register that the phone call has
connected.
After answering, wait until the
voice prompt finishes the sentence
instructing you to press 1, and then
press 1 on your keypad.
GPS Location is
incorrect on
Google Maps
GPS was not in ‘search mode’ at
the time of activation.
GPS could not see the satellites
at the time (e.g., in a rural area)
User is likely indoors
GPS works best outside where
there is a direct line to the
satellites.
If greater GPS consistency is
needed, the GPS can be set to be
on all the time.
The Device does
not seem to be
charging.
Device isn’t being placed in the
charging cradle properly.
The battery shows on the screen
when charging.
Ensure cradle red light is on and the
MediFone is displaying the battery
charging symbol.
User fell but Fall
Detection did
not activate.
The MediFone’s fall detection
triggers only when certain
criteria of its sequential
algorithm is met. The technology
is inherently accurate
approximately 90% of the time.
The sensitivity of the fall detection
can be changed - refer to page 8 in
this guide or simply call us. By
wearing the device closer to your
body, the device can better pick up
a fall.
False SOS Alert
or unwanted
activation
occurred.
User accidentally pressed the
SOS button when leaning against
something, holding an object up
to the chest or was trying to turn
device off and did so incorrectly.
When you hear the SOS sound,
press and hold the SOS Button. This
will cancel the calls and texts from
being sent. The screen should read
“SOS Cancelled”.
Fall Detection
was activated
by mistake.
The MediFone may trigger the
fall alert when it senses what
may have been a fall. If the fall
alert warning sound is easily
activated by accident, it’s likely
that a setting adjustment is
needed.
When you hear the fall detection
sound, press and hold the SOS
Button. This will cancel the calls
and texts from being sent. The
screen should read “Fall Alert
Cancelled”.
