Frequently Asked Questions
How do I call for help?
Press your Neck Pendant, Wrist Button, or red emergency button on your Base Station.
What happens if I push the button but I can’t speak?
If you are unable to speak or be heard, we will assume it is an emergency and notify
Emergency Response on your behalf. We will also notify the personal contacts listed on
your prole.
If I accidentally set off the alarm, what do I do?
If you accidentally set off the alarm, simply notify the Emergency Operator when they
respond that this is a “false alarm.” The operator will disconnect and no further action
will be taken.
How will an Emergency Response team get into my home?
Rescue personnel follow different procedures. In most cases, emergency personnel are
authorized to break into your home to help you and cannot be held responsible for any
damages caused as a result of gaining entry.

MobileHelp Customer Service 1-877-827-620714
MHP8003-359B
We recommend that you purchase a MobileHelp “lock box” to safely store your
house key. Your lock box code will be stored on your account and given to emergency
personnel in order to gain entry to your home without causing damage. If you have
your own lock box (not purchased from MobileHelp), please call MobileHelp Customer
Service at 1-877-827-6207 to ensure your code is noted on your account.
How far away from the Base Station will my help buttons work?
Your help buttons are designed to work at an approximate range of 600 feet from the
Base Station, depending on the size and construction of your home.
What happens if I push my help button but cannot get to the Base Station?
What happens if I push my help button but cannot get to the Base Station? If you push your
help button, stay where you are. An Emergency Operator will attempt to communicate with
you through your Base Station. If you are not heard, we will assume it is an emergency and
notify Emergency Response on your behalf.
Why is the emergency operator having trouble understanding me?
The microphone on the Base Station is very sensitive and will pick up surrounding noises
from your television, radio, wind from ceiling fans, and the like. To increase the quality of
the call, look for a quieter area to set up your Base Station.

MobileHelp Complete User Guide 15
MHP8003-359B
Why is my help button not activating my Base Station?
Be sure to press the emergency button once rmly in the center to activate your Base
Station. A small red light below the pendant or wrist button will ash. If the Base Station
does not respond, check to ensure that the help button is in range of the Base Station. If you
still have issues with your system, please call 1-877-827-6207 and select Technical Support.
What if I move to a different home, or my personal information has changed?
Please contact Customer Service at 1-877-827-6207 any time there are any changes
to your personal information, including changes to your address and phone number.
Just give us a call one week before you move to determine whether the service will be
available in your area.
What if I spend part of the year in another home?
We can transfer your service to your new location. Just give us a call at 1-877-827-6207
and speak with Customer Service one week before you go to determine whether the
service will be available at your other home.

on any possible risk of magnetic interference with the device. Our help buttons do not
interfere with pacemakers.
Can I replace the neck pendant cord?

personal chains or necklaces. However, the risk of choking may increase if you do not use
the lanyard provided by MobileHelp.
