To end a phone call, briefly press the SOS button. Hanging up during the emergency
sequence will stop the Lingo from calling other emergency contacts. As with a normal
phone call, either the contact or the User can hang up on a call.
Important Tip: It is vital that every call be hung up by either the user or the contact
to avoid additional call charges.

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 Lingo every 1-3months.
Performing the Test
1. Inform the emergency contacts that the Lingo is being tested.
2. Press the SOS button for 2 seconds until it vibrates andbeeps.
3. Unless it was requested for texts to be sent first, a call will be made to
Contact Number 1, followed by a textmessage.
4. The contact must press 1 on their phone keypad within 30 seconds of
answering. This will stop the Lingo from hanging up and calling the next
contact.
5. Confirm both parties can hear each other.
Fall Detection
Automatic fall detection will measure the pendant’s orientation and impact with a
surface. Generally, the device needs to drop at least 75cm to activate. If the Lingo
senses that the User may have fallen, it will announce: “A fall has been detected.
Cancel by pressing the SOS button.” This voice prompt will sound 3 times, after
which, the calling sequence will begin. Any time before the third voice prompt, if the
SOS button is briefly pressed, this voice prompt will be heard: “Fall alert has been
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 10) or call us
and we’ll make the change for you.
It is NOT recommended to test the fall alert function when the device is worn. 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
it. The voice prompt will be heard after a brief delay.
DO NOT throw the device.

The Fall Detection works best when the Lingo 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.

ISSUE
COMMONLY KNOWN
CAUSES
POTENTIAL
SOLUTIONS
GPS Location is
not accurate.
1. There are obstructions (e.g., roof,
trees, clouds) between the Lingo
and the satellites.
2. The GPS may not have had
sufficient time to wake up.
3. WiFi (to access indoor location) is
not on.
1. GPS works best when there is a
direct line in every direction to the
skyline.
2. Always take the pendant outside to
access the GPS location and wear the
pendant outside your clothing when
traveling from location to location.
3. Request the location a 2nd time after
GPS has awoken.
The Device won't
charge.
1. The charging cord is not attached
properly.
2. Power may not be switched on at
the wall socket.
1. The charging cord must point in the
same direction as the side button.
2. Confirm cord is firmly plugged in
and wall socket is switched on.
Fall Detection did
not activate.
The Lingo’s fall detection activates
only when specific criteria occur.
This includes the distance and
speed of a fall and the orientation
of the Lingo.
The sensitivity of fall detection can be
changed to any of 3 settings. Refer to
pages 7 and 8 or call us to change the
sensitivity setting for you.
TIP: If there is NO fall alert voice
prompt immediately, press the SOS
button for help.
Fall Detection
activated
without a fall
occurring.
If the Lingo senses what may have
been a fall, the voice prompt will
announce that a fall has been
detected. It’s possible that the
movement of the Lingo simulated a
fall.
While a fall alert warning can easily be
aborted, if the warning message is
triggering too frequently just by
wearing the device, the sensitivity
should be adjusted accordingly. See
page 8.
No Lights are on
This is normal. The Lingo is in sleep
mode to save battery power.
Wake the Lingo by briefly pressing
either button. If lights appear, the unit
is on.

Limitations
This JNY Safety Care Lingo is reliant on the cell phone service provider’s network
coverage to make phone calls, to send SMS text messages and to transmit
information regarding GPS positioning. These services may vary between providers
and locations throughout the world. GPS location is often not available when the JNY
Safety Care Lingo is inside a building. Also, outdoor location performance can
sometimes deliver inaccurate coordinates if the device is unable to get a fix on a
minimum number of satellites. The accuracy of GPS positioning is determined by the
availability of unobstructed line of sight to the available satellites.
It is highly recommended that the user periodically tests their unit every 1-3 months
by pressing the SOS button. Warn contacts first. It is the user’s responsibility to
assure that their phone service provider is notified before their credit or debit card
expires or if credit needs to be added to the SIM card used in their JNY Safety Care
Pendant. Your emergency contacts should be people who are available to assist you.
Choose contacts carefully.
Safety Information
•It is NOT RECOMMENDED to wear with the lanyard while sleeping.
•Care must be taken with the Lingo while showering because soap or shampoo
can infiltrate and damage the electronics. We recommend using a JNY
SafetyCare Shower Bag which will eliminate the possibility that chemicals used
while bathing could disable your Lingo and void its Warranty.
•Switch off your Lingo when instructed to turn off all mobile phones on
commercial aircraft. Avoid using a damaged power cable. This may cause
overheating or a potential fire hazard. Never use any chemical or detergent to
clean the Lingo. This may erode its surface.
•To eliminate the risk of electric shock, do not touch the ends of the power
cable, charging plug or the metal parts on the inside of the charging cradle
with wet or damp hands.
•Avoid direct prolonged exposure to sunlight and high temperatures to negate
the potential of over-heating the battery, which may cause damage.
