PERS Console Operating Modes
Your PERS Console operates in three operating
“modes”. Each mode sets the Console to act differently
to match your lifestyle at different times of the day.
In any of the three modes, the Console is always ready
to report an emergency if you press the HELP button
or activate one of your portable emergency sensors.
Home Mode
Home Mode is for when you are at home during the day. In Home
Mode, the Console knows if your emergency sensors are present
and ready to use. If a sensor does not regularly report to the
Console, a trouble report can be sent to your monitoring service.
Away Mode
Away Mode is for when you are going to be away from home. In
Away Mode, the Console knows that your portable emergency
sensors might be away from the Console and will abstain from
reporting any sensors that are missing. Console announcements
are also suppressed in Away Mode.
Night Mode
Night Mode is for nighttime when you are sleeping or do not wish
to be disturbed. In Night Mode, Console operates the same as in
Home Mode except that announcements are suppressed.
In Case of Emergency
If you need assistance, place a call to the monitoring
service by pressing the HELP button on the Console or
by activating one of your portable emergency sensors.
Remember, the portable emergency sensors send
radio signals to the Console, and there is a limit to the
maximum distance from the Console that the portable
emergency sensors can be used.
Do not press Cancel before talking to the monitoring
service dispatcher or your emergency call may be
canceled.
The Console will announce “Emergency call being
placed”. When your monitoring service receives the
call, they will verify the nature of your emergency
and dispatch help for you. If the Console’s 2-way
communications are active, the Console will announce
“Emergency reported, please stand by”.The monitoring
service can talk and listen to you to through the Console.
PERS Console Special Features
In addition to the three operating modes, your PERS
Console contains several special features that can be
turned on or off by your monitoring service.
Activity Timer
When the activity timer is on, you will need to press the Home
button or activate a special sensor every day to prevent an
automatic alarm from triggering. Your monitoring service can set
one or two time periods that will be available to you to reset the
activity timer. The activity timer is always off in Away Mode or
Night Mode.
Activity time period #1: ___:___ AM or PM to ___:___ AM or PM
Activity time period #2: ___:___ AM or PM to ___:___ AM or PM
Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Detection
For increased protection, wireless smoke and carbon monoxide
detectors can be setup as sensors with your PERS Console. In
case of a dangerous fire or gas event, the sensor will sound its
alarm and the Console’s alarm, which can be reported to the
monitoring service.
Speakerphone Mode
The Console can be set up to work as a hands-free speakerphone
for incoming calls. Pressing the HELP button or activating an
emergency sensor while the telephone is ringing will answer the
call. Pressing HELP or activating an emergency sensor during
the call will disconnect the caller.
Remote Call-in Speakerphone Mode
The Console can be set up to answer the phone and start the
speakerphone automatically after the caller enters a 4-digit
password. The caller can talk and listen to you through the
Console’s speaker and microphone.
PERS Console Alarm Priorities
Each type of alarm is assigned a priority. Higher priority alarms
override lower priority alarms. Smoke alarms (on/off horn sound)
have the highest priority, followed by carbon monoxide alarms
(on/off buzz sound), emergency alarms (3 beeps sound), then
other types of maintenance indications (various sounds).

Important Wireless Information
Radio controls provide a reliable communications link and fill an important need in portable wireless signaling. However, there are some
limitations which must be observed.
This device complies with Industry Canada and Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This
device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
• Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L’exploitation
est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) l’appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l’utilisateur de l’appareil doit
accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d’en compromettre le fonctionnement.
The antenna used for the transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 7.87 inches (20 cm) from all persons, and must
not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter other than those supplied with the PERS-4200X console.
• L’antenne de l’émetteur doit être installé à une distance d’au moins 7,87 pouces (20 cm) de toutes les personnes, et ne doit pas être
placé ou utilisé en conjonction avec toute autre antenne ou tout autre émetteur autres que ceux fournis avec la console PERS-4200X.
• For U.S. installations only: The radios are required to comply
with FCC Rules and Regulations as Part 15 devices. As such,
they have limited transmitter power and therefore limited range.
• A receiver cannot respond to more than one transmitted signal
at a time and may be blocked by radio signals that occur on or
near their operating frequencies, regardless of code settings.
• Changes or modifications to the device may void FCC compliance.
• Infrequently used radio links should be tested regularly to
protect against undetected interference or fault.
• A general knowledge of radio and its vagaries should be
gained prior to acting as a wholesale distributor or dealer, and
these facts should be communicated to the ultimate users.
