Your fall detector™ is a battery operated
device containing a microprocessor, detector
and a radio transmitter. It will automatically
trigger an alarm call on your community
alarm system if it detects that you have
fallen. You can also use it to manually raise
an alarm call.
Wearing the fall detector
•Clip the fall detector to your belt or
clothing in the upright position shown in
the drawing.
It needs to be in the upright position to
reduce the possibility of false activation.
Note: An optional Belt and Holster is
available (Part Number D6609001C).

Automatic fall detection
•Green light and two "beeps" indicates that
the fall detector has been activated.
•The fall detector will then monitor for
between 6 and 15 seconds to verify if
there could have been a fall. The green
light will flash while it does this.
•If the detector has decided that there is
a fall, then a red light and four "beeps"
indicates that the fall detector is about
to trigger an alarm call (because it has
detected an impact and has not been
upright for between 6 and 15 seconds).
•If the detector has decided that it was
activated by error then the green
flashing light will stop after between 6 to
15 Seconds and the unit will revert to
normal again.
•The fall detector also features a manual
button, which can be used at any time to
raise a call for help if required.

Manual operation
•Press the button on the fall detector to
raise a manual alarm call.
•The fall detector will "beep" and a red
light indicates the fall detector is
triggering an alarm call.
•If the red light flashes on and off, the
fall detector is still triggering an alarm
call, but is also indicating to you that the
battery needs to be replaced.

•Remember, the fall detector will only
detect you falling if you are wearing it.
•The fall detector must be worn at or
above the waist, where it will detect the
maximum number of falls.
•When removing the fall detector, handle
carefully to avoid false calls, place it on an
even surface in the upright position and
preferably in the stand provided.
•If the fall detector does wake up and
beep when you know you have not fallen,
you can prevent it raising an alarm by
ensuring that it is returned to an upright
position.
•It is not recommended that you wear the
fall detector whilst in bed, as normal
movement in bed will cause the fall
detector to trigger.

Battery Replacement
From time to time the battery will need
replacing, you will know this because
somebody from your monitoring service (if
you have one) may inform you, or you may
see the red light flashing rather than staying
on continuously when a manual alarm call is
made.
•The unit automatically tests the battery
several times within each 24 hour period.
It is able to automatically generate an
alarm call when low battery is detected.
•If it is necessary for you to change the
battery, the fall detector uses a 6 volt
Duracell PX28L battery.
•To access the battery, remove the battery
cover screw and then the battery cover by
sliding it in the direction of the arrow.
•After a year the battery should be
replaced. Contact your provider for a
replacement. In many cases your provider
will change the battery for you. On the
back of this user guide is a handy table to

All the reassurance you need
D6607016 Issue A Page 7 of 11
help you remember when the battery
should be changed.
•Remove battery and replace it with the
new battery, remember to observe the
correct orientation. When the battery is
first placed in the unit an automatic test
call will be generated (no lights will show
and no buzzer will sound).
•Replace the sliding cover and the screw.
Test the fall detector by making a manual
call. Inform the operator that you are
making a battery test call.
•If the device fails to make a test call then
check the orientation of the battery. If this
is correct then contact your supplier.
Do not dispose of the old battery in the bin, please
return it to Tunstall (c/o Service Centre) at the
address shown overleaf.

Care of the fall detector
•Avoid getting the fall detector wet (if it
does then dry it quickly and make a
manual test call to confirm it is working
correctly).
•If required, the fall detector may be
cleaned periodically with a damp cloth and
mild detergent.
•It is recommended that you test the fall
detector once a month:
•Make a manual test call.
•Start with the fall detector vertical.
Place the fall detector horizontal and
then tap within 3 seconds after placing
horizontal. After 5 Seconds the fall
detector should beep and the green
light start to flash. If you put the unit
quickly back upright (in its stand, for
instance), the alarm call will not be
raised.
