2.c Register the Pendant
The Pendant sends a check-in message to the Repeater via the Gateway
every 60 minutes for the purposes of supervision. The Pendant must be
registered and supervised, the Pendant should be tested after registration
to ensure operation. The Repeater will send the Pendant an
aknowledgement signal to confirm check-in supervion has been received.
Caution: The Pendant must have a supervision window of no more
than 12 hours to avoid not discovering a missing device within 24 hours.
2.d Wear the Pendant
The pendant can be worn in three ways:
• Around the neck with the neck lanyard, which is included with the
water resistant pendant with neck lanyard.
•On the arm with the wristband, which comes attached on the
water resistant pendant with wristband.
•On the belt, using the optional belt loop attachment kit.

3 Operate the Pendant TX/RX
3.a Send an Alarm
To send an alarm: Press the activation button for at least one second.
• When activated, the pendant LED will be red to indicate
Alarm being sent
• The pendant will receive an acknowledgment form Repeater and
1. Place the alarm clearance key-chain tag over the activation button, the
red transmission LED will cease flashing and the blue alarm clear LED
will flash to indicate the alarm has cleared.
2. The alarm can be cleared remotely by sending a Clear Alarm signal
from server to Repeater via Gateway
the LED will flash blue for 0.5 seconds.
Note: If the pendant does not receive an acknowledgment from the
Repeater it will keep trying.
3.b Clear an Alarm
There are two ways to clear an alarm:
Using the Alarm Clearance Tag
Note: The Pendant alarm clearance key-chain tag is an optional
accessory sold separately.
4.c Take the Device out of Storage Mode
To remove the device from storage mode:
1. Press the Pendat alarm activation button twice.
2. Press the activation button for at least one second the second time
• The red LED will turn on and the pendant to indicate that an alarm has
been sent. This serves as confirmation that the pendant is no longer in
storage mode.
•When the button is released, an LED will flash briefly Blue to indicate
the aknowledgement from the Repeater was received.
5 Cleaning and Care
5.a Cleaning
Cleaning should be performed by hand using a damp cloth and mild soap,
or disinfectant wipes designed for household use.
Do Not Use
The following products should never be used to clean the Pendants:
• Strong cleaning agents such as ammonia, bleach, alcohol or
quaternary disinfectant.
• Abrasive or powder cleansers.
• Alcohol-based hand sanitizers.
The following equipment and processes must never be used:
•Dishwasher or washing machine.
•Soaking or suspending the pendant in water or other liquids.
3.c Coin Cell Low Battery Alert
When a low battery is detected, the Pendant transmitter will send a
low battery alert flag with the check-in supervision, and start a thirty
day countdown. The server will report the low battery condition and
escalate the alarm to the appropriate party via alarm alert or email on
the low battery report.
4 Storage Mode
Storage mode is an ultra low battery state designed to protect the life of
the internal battery for 12 months. The pendant is shipped from miAlert in
storage mode. TThe device will also automatically go into storage mode if
in an alarm condition or if check-in transmission as not been
aknowledged for 12 hours.
Note: When the pendant is in storage mode, it will not transmit alarms or
check-in messages.
4.a Extended Storage
If a pendant will not be deployed to an end user for more than 12 months
from the date of manufacture that appears on the device or device
packaging, you must install the coin cell battery and press the button before
the 12 months elapses to ensure proper operation.
If the device has remained idle for more than 6 months, we advise a 72
hour charging period before deploying the pendant to an end user.
If the device will remain unused after installing the coin cell battery, it will
operate for approximately three years, assuming no button presses.
Wearable Recommendations
The pendant transmitter housing is water resistant up to the IP65 standard
when the back-plate is properly seated and secured by the 4 screws. The
Pendant is designed for incidental/momentary submersion in water, but
not for extended submersion. As such, we offer the following
recommendations to the end user:
* The pendant is able to successfully transmit an alarm or check-in
message when exposed intermittently to water in a shower setting.
However, when the pendant is fully submerged, the water absorbs the radio
signal such that messages may not be reliably detected by the receiver.
Do not spray water directly on the
Pendant at distances of less than
12 inches; avoid spraying water at
extremely high pressure.
Usage Situation OK to Use? Cautions
Shower Yes*
Bath Yes* Momentary submersion is
permissible at water temperatures
less than 107°F. Extended
submersion of the Pendant is not
recommended.
Rain Yes* Avoid extended exposure to rain;
wear the Pendant under a sleeve,
shirt, or jacket.
Water exercise,
swimming pool,
hot tubs steam
rooms and sauna
No Do not use the Pendant during
these activities. Please note that
the IP65 rating does not test for
exposure to liquids with a chemical
content such as chlorine or salt
water.
Water Exposure
It has been evaluated that the Pendant meets the water spray and
submersion tests required
under UL 2560, section 38.
In addition, these pendants meet IP65 certification standards for dust and
water ingress protection, ensuring that:
• Ingress of dust particles does not interfere with the satisfactory
operation of the device.
•Protected against low pressure jets if water from all directions -
limited ingress permitted

7.a Medical Device Interference
Under FDA and FCC guidelines, the responsibility for verifying continuous
and safe operation of medical devices such as pacemakers and implanted
defibrillators in the presence of electromagnetic interference (EMI) rests
with the manufacturer of the medical device. As such, miAlert does not
have the authority or specific device knowledge to conduct or interpret
formal tests on their behalf.
miAlert transmitter devices comply with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and
Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standards.
If you have any concerns about the use of miAlert transmitter devices in
the presence of medical devices used by a particular resident or patient, we
recommend that you consult with their physician. Another potential source
for answers is the medical device manufacturer, who can provide more
information as to their compliance with federal guidelines and how they
have addressed EMI risk.
