PERSONAL HELP BUTTON
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The Personal Help Button (2GIG-PHB1-345) is a miniature, water-
resistant1, supervised transmitter designed for use with the 2GIG
Security Panels. The transmitter ships attached to a permanent
mounting accessory, which can be worn either on its adjustable
lanyard with a breakaway release or on the optional wristband.
The Personal Help Button can be programmed by installers to work
with 2GIG Security Panels as the (08) 24-Hour Auxiliary Alarm sensor
type and uses the equipment code: (0868) 2GIG Panic Button Remote.
For instructions programming wireless sensors, see the Installation &
Programming Guide for the 2GIG Security Panel.
WARNING: Do NOT attempt to remove the transmitter from its
mounting accessory or damage may result.

Turning the Battery Supervisor ON
The Personal Help Button ships with a built-in timer that expires seven
(7) days after its date of manufacture. After this timer expires, the
battery supervisor will automatically turn ON after you press the
Personal Help Button for the first time. When you release the button,
its LED indicator flashes GREEN to indicate that the battery supervisor
is working and active.
Every 70 minutes, the transmitter automatically tests itself for a low
battery. If the battery tests low, a low battery signal is sent to the 2GIG
Security Panel and the LED indicator on the Personal Help Button.
When the LED illuminates RED, the unit should be replaced.
IMPORTANT: Because the transmitter is sealed to provide water-
resistance, the unit’s battery is not replaceable. The expected
battery-life for the device is approximately five (5) years under
normal operating conditions (for example, when supervision
is enabled and the Personal Help Button is used for one five
(5) second manual activation per week).
Activating an Emergency Alarm with the
Personal Help Button
Pressing the button on the transmitter sends a digitally-coded wireless
signal to the 2GIG Security Panel’s receiver indicating an alarm
condition.
IMPORTANT: To ensure that the button sends a complete signal,
always press and hold the transmitter button for a minimum
of two (2) seconds.

WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH TO PERSONS,
REVIEW THIS IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION PRIOR TO USE.
Nortek Security & Control LLC is issuing this Warning to all
subscribers using the 2GIG Personal Help Button (PHB).
Nortek Security & Control LLC manufactures and sells a number of
different personal emergency transmitters that consist of the 2GIG
Security Panel and one or more transmitters. The Personal Help
Button may be worn on a wristband or as a pendant on an
adjustable lanyard that can be worn around the neck. IF YOU WEAR
THE LANYARD AROUND YOUR NECK AND IT BECOMES
ACCIDENTALLY ENTANGLED, IT MAY PRESENT A CHOKING OR
STRANGULATION HAZARD THAT COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY
OR DEATH.
The Personal Help Button is most commonly used by elderly
subscribers and others who may have limited mobility, and this risk
applies especially to subscribers who may use wheelchairs, walkers,
beds with guard rails, or similar objects with protrusions on which a
transmitter lanyard could become entangled.
Because the Personal Help Button can be worn on as a pendant,
Nortek Security & Control urges users to consult with their
caregivers or service provider to determine which style is most
appropriate for them. It is important for users to consider each style
before making an informed choice regarding the most suitable
method for wearing their transmitter.
To report any issues related to your Personal Help Button and/or
any of its components, contact your 2GIG alarm dealer.
