Neck
Cord Strangulation
Risk
One
advantage
of the
AutoAlert
Help Button being
worn as a pendant
is that the button
is
accessible
by
either
of your hands.
However, any
cord worn around
the
neck can
pose a strangulation
risk,
including
the
possibility of death
and serious
injuries. This may
be of more
concern
to wearers
in wheelchairs,
using
walkers,
using
beds with guard
rails, or
who
might encounter other
protruding objects
upon which the
cord can
become
tangled.
• The
neck cord
provided
on the AutoAlert
Help Button
is
designed
to
break
apart
under certain
conditions
to reduce the risk
of
strangulation.
If the neck cord
breaks ask for a replacement.
• Do not
use any
other neck cord than
the
one
provided
by
Lifeline.
Other
neck cords may
not provide
the feature
to break apart therefore
increasing
the risk of strangulation.
+
The AutoAlert
Help
Button
will not work
when outside
the coverage
range established
on your
campus.
•
The AutoAlert
Help
Button is a radio
frequency (RF)
device that
transmits
a
signal
to
the CarePoint system
on your campus
which
sends
a message
to
a
staff member in
your community who
can respond. The
CarePoint
system may provide
coverage within your
campus,
and
this
button
can not
summon assistance
if
you
travel
off the campus.
• The signal
range may be affected
by environmental
factors, including
building
materials, large
masses covering the
AutoAlert
Help Button
(e.g.,
a
person
falling
on
top of ii), and submersion
in liquid.

Keeping
the Vent Hole Clear
of Obstructions
The vent located
on the back of the AutoAlert
Help Button
is part of the fall detection
sensor
system and needs to remain clear
of
obstructions (e.g., lint
or food products). A
continuous flow of
water (e.g., a shower) hitting
the vent directly may also temporarily
obstruct
the vent. However your AutoAlert
Help Button
is waterproof
and should be worn at all
times —
even
when bathing or showering.
AutoAlert Help
Button is Waterproof
• Your AutoAlert
Help Button is waterproof
and should be worn at all
times — even when bathing
or showering.
• The AutoAlert
Help Button has a water resistance rating
of IPX7 which
means that it can withstand being
submerged up to a depth of 1
meter
for
30 minutes.
Electromagnetic
Interference
The AutoAlert
Help Button may interfere
with certain electrical
equipment, such
as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) medical
equipment.
It may also interfere
with aircraft communications,
so do not take the
AutoAlert
Help Button aboard
an airplane. You may pack the AutoAlert
Help Button in checked
luggage.
6
CAUTION
indicates the
potential of device malfunction, device
failure,
damage of the
device, or damage to other property.
And, if these
instructions are
not followed, may result in minor
or moderate injury.

Servicing
the Device
There
are no user-serviceable
parts inside
the AutoAlert
Help
Button.
Do
not attempt
to
open
or modify the
device.
Device
Battery
• The AutoAlert
Help Button has
a built-in lithium
battery that
provides a
long service
life
without the need
for replacement
or recharging
by
the
user. The
user does
not need
to monitor the
battery life
as this is done
automatically
by
the AutoAlert
Help Button.
The AutoAlert
Help Button
will
automatically send
a signal when the
battery will soon
need
to
be
replaced,
and a
staff
member will contact
you to replace
it with a
new
button.
• It is important
to start using your replacement
button immediately
when
received
and return
your old
button. The sensors
that are
used to
detect
falls will
be disabled
when
there are approximately
7
days
of battery
life remaining.
This
is
to conserve
battery
life for generating
Help Calls
initiated
by a button
press.
•
The AutoAlert Help
Button should never
be exposed
to flames or
intense
heat and is
not suitable for use
in the presence
of flammable
mixtures.
•
The
lithium
battery
within the AutoAlert
Help Button
must be
disposed
of properly.
Do
not
discard the
Help Button
in the trash. Always
return
the AutoAlert
Help Button to
a staff member
for proper disposal.

Button
Push

added
layer of
protection.
If you
fall and can’t
get up
or
are unable
to
push your
Help
Button,
and
the AutoAlert
Help
Button
has registered
a
fall, the AutoAlert
Help Button
will
automatically
transmit
a signal
to the
CarePoint
system on
your
campus
which
sends
a
message
to a
staff
member in
your
community
who
can respond.
•
Always
wear your
AutoAlert
Help
Button.
Your AutoAlert
Help Button
is

and
should
be worn
at all times
—
even
when
bathing and
sleeping.
•
Push your AutoAlert
Help Button
whenever
you need
help
or if you
have fallen.
•
If
you fall
and
cannot
push
your AutoAlert
Help
Button, and
the AutoAlert
Help
Button
has registered
a fall, the
AutoAlert
Help Button
will
automatically
send
a Help
Call within
one minute.
What
to
Expect If
You Fall
If the AutoAlert
Help
Button
detects
a
fall and you
are unable
to

This allows
you to recover
from falls
that are not
serious enough
to
require help. However,
if
you think you
need assistance,
wait
for help, rather
than
attempting to stand
up if you
feel unable
to.
As
always,
you should still
push
your AutoAlert
Help
Button
any time you
need
help.
False
“fall detected”
alarms may
occasionally occur
• While
the AutoAlert Button
is designed
to have very
few
false
alarms, it
can
be expected that the
AutoAlert
Help Button will
occasionally trigger
a
fall
detected
alarm when there was
not a fall (i.e.
a false alarm.)
• Occasional false
alarms do not indicate
the AutoAlert
Button
is
malfunctioning.
To
shorten: With
a tab between
your first finger and
thumb of
each
hand, slide
both tabs apart
in line
with
your
shoulders.
To lengthen: Pull
one
strand of
the
neck cord
while sliding the tab to
the
back.
Repeat on the other
side.
