Introduction
The Vibby is a new fall detector, designed and manufactured by
Telecom Design and incorporating Tunstall’s licenced radio protocol.
It is lighter and more ergonomic than previous generations of fall
detector. The Vibby sets the benchmark for reliability with its new
algorithm.
The Vibby comes pre-programmed with the Tunstall Radio Protocol,
which enables it to work with the Tunstall Lifeline (400, 4000+,
Connect/Connect+ Vi/Vi+, Lifeline GSM and Telecare enabled
schemes). The Vibby is also IP67 (dust and water resistance) and
IK4 & IEC 62599-1 2010 Class2 (shock and impact).
The Vibby is supplied in Storage Mode to preserve battery life, to exit
storage mode and start using the Vibby see page 4. The Vibby is
pre-configured to be worn on the wrist.
