Thank You for Purchasing The Emergency Caller from USP!
USP has made every effort to make The Emergency Caller the finest Personal
Emergency Response System on the market today. However, for your safety
please take the following precautions when using The Emergency Caller:
•The Emergency Caller should be tested regularly to ensure proper delivery of
your pre-recorded emergency message when activated by the Pull-For-Help
transmitter or the Auxiliary input. This is your responsibility as the user of the
product.
•Certain structures within a household may block the transmitter signal. It is up to
the user to test the transmitter within the area of use to determine if dead areas
exist, and where they are located.
•Holding the transmitter next to your body or the ground while in use may
decrease the range of the transmitter signal.
•Using The Emergency Caller
does not guarantee that you will contact or receive
help. The Emergency Caller is only an aid to assist you in calling for help.
•The transmitter should be tested frequently to protect against undetected
interference or fault.
•For U.S. installations only: The Emergency Caller is required to comply with
Part 15 of the FCC Rules and regulations. As such, it has limited transmitter
power and therefore limited range.
•The dialer 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 setting.
•Changes or modifications to the device may void FCC compliance.

Congratulations!
Thank you for purchasing United Security Products, Inc.’s Emergency Caller -the “smartest”, most
comprehensive automatic voice/pager emergency dialer available. Representing an exciting new level of
achievement, The Emergency Caller combines technologically advanced features, ease of programming and
reliable operation in a compact, unobtrusive dialer. Installation and hookup are quick and easy. The unit is a
stand-alone wireless device that simply connects to an ordinary telephone jack. The keypad cover glides on and
off for added attractiveness and security.
How It Works:
The Emergency Caller features busy-line and no-answer detection to ensure prompt transmission of the
prerecorded message to as many as 4 standard telephones, cellular phones, voice and/or numeric pagers.
Message to both local and long-distance calls can be transmitted. When activated, the dialer instantly begins
calling the numbers in sequence, in an attempt to deliver the message or pager code. The Emergency Caller is
extensively programmable, offering personalized customization to fulfill virtually any residence. Plain-English
prompts walk the user through the process in a timely manner.
Programming options abound, allowing the user to:
•Store up to 4 telephone/pager numbers.
•Store an emergency message (maximum: 20 sec.).
•Select Tone/Pulse dialing, Standard telephone line/PBX system and Momentary/Continuous activation.
Special Features:
•The dialer will “beep” every 30 seconds in the Program and Test mode. This is to warn the user that the
dialer is not in the Operate or Off mode.
•In the Test mode, when testing the input, the dialer will check to make sure that there is a dial tone. If no
dial tone is detected, the dialer will not continue testing the input and will display:
NO DIAL TONE!
(Connect the dialer to the telephone line and re-test the input). Note: Although the dialer checks for a dial
tone it will not actually dial out.
•The dialer will check to make sure that, at least, one telephone number and OGM or one pager number is
programmed before allowing the dialer to be switched to the Operate mode. If programming is not
complete, the dialer will display:
PROGRAMMING IS
NOT COMPLETE!
(After 2 seconds the dialer will automatically switch to the Programming mode).
Please Familiarize Yourself With These Instructions Before Installation/Operation. This guide describes how to
program and operate the dialer. We strongly recommend that you read the entire manual before attempting to
use the unit.
To enhance ease of programming and operation, this guide includes:
•A Programming Sample/Quick Setup review on page 20 with a corresponding Program Planner.
•A Blank Program Planner on page 21. One copy of this Planner should be kept in a safe place by the end
user. A separate copy should also be retained by the installer.

Description
The Pull-For-Help Transmitter is a digitally coded miniature radio transmitter. The Pull-For-Help Transmitter is
powered by two long life, selp-contained 3-volt batteries. The transmitter is water-resistant but not waterproof.
Do not immerse in water.
Checkout And Test
Move at least six feet away from The Emergency Caller and activate the Pull-For-Help Transmitter by pulling
down on the cord attached to the bottom of the case. Emergency Caller activation indicates that the Pull-For-
Help Transmitter is operating properly and that the Pull-For-Help Transmitter’s digital code is correctly matched
to The Emergency Caller. To stop testing simply return the transmitter to its original closed position. Operate
the Pull-For-Help Transmitter from various locations within the area to be used. This will help to locate
areas where obstacles may interfere with transmission and will identify the range on the transmitter.
Changing The Batteries
To replace the batteries in your Pull-For-Help Transmitter you need 2, 3-volt Lithium batteries (Duracell #2025
or equivalent). First be sure to disconnect the dialer from the telephone line. Carefully remove the screws on
the transmitter case. Remove the clip from the transmitter case and separate the transmitter housing. Carefully
remove the circuit board inside, and avoid touching any of the components. Remove the old batteries from the
battery clip, and place the new batteries under the clip with the positive ends of both batteries facing up. Place
the circuit board back in the transmitter housing, and reassemble the transmitter case. After changing the
batteries be sure to reconnect the phone line and test the Pull-For-Help Transmitter to make sure you
have installed the batteres properly.
The Pull-For-Help Transmitter
CAUTION:
We strongly recommend that you test your cordless Pull-
For-Help Transmitter with The Emergency Caller
frequently. From the time of installation, it is absolutely
necessary to test the system at least once a week to ensure
that The Emergency Caller will be ready when needed.
The batteries should be replaced every year.

adjustable so you can customize it to your ideal size for a comfortable fit.
Adjusting The Length
To adjust the length of your Pull-For-Help Transmitter Necklace simply depress the button on the necklace
stopper and slide the necklace cord through the hole to the length you desire. When the correct size is obtained
simply release the stopper button.
Adjusting The Necklace Bead
To make sure the necklace will not fall off during everyday activities or in case of an accident, slide the necklace
bead toward your head until the loop around your neck will not easily slip off. Do not adjust the bead too tight,
the necklace should remain loose and comfortable. You can adjust the bead to an ideal comfortable fit.
Quick Release Feature
If for some reason the necklace becomes caught on an object, the necklace will release when enough pressure is
applied. When enough pressure is applied the necklace cord will slide through the stopper allowing the necklace
to separate and avoid any injury to the wearer. To reconnect the necklace simply depress the stopper button and
slide the ends of the necklace through the stopper hole. When the desired size is reached simply release the
stopper button.

Test your system before an emergency occurs.
Do not neglect to review programmed information and verify all elements of your system thoroughly before
relying on the dialer to deliver the necessary information to the desired parties accurately and completely.
The test mode tests the stored information, not the full functionality of the dialer. To test the full functionality of
the dialer, the unit must be tested in the operate mode. In the test mode, the dialer will not make more than one
attempt per number dialed or play the OGM more than once.
STEP 1 Press the “M” Mode key until the LCD reads: TEST: T-LINE
1(YES) 2(NO)

This message will be displayed for 2 seconds then the dialer will switch to the Program mode.
Test your system on a regular basis, at least once a week.
Make sure you notify the receiving party of your intent to call them, and tell them it is just a
test.
Note: To fully test the input, the dialer must be connected to a telephone line. If the dialer
does not detect a dial tone, it will not continue
testing the programmed numbers and will
display: NO DIAL TONE!
Connect the dialer to a telephone line and press the “M” key until the TEST: T-
LINE prompt
appears. Continue testing the input by selecting “2” in Step 1 and skip to Step 3.

INFORMATION.

18
You are now ready to begin operating your system, relying on The Emergency Caller to provide 24-hour
security reassurance and peace of mind.
When in the operating mode, the system will monitor the wireless pendant and the Aux. input, initiating dialing
when a valid alarm condition occurs. Upon activation the dialer will begin calling each phone/pager number
selected, in sequence. During each successful attempt, the voice message will be delivered 3 times (numeric
messages will only be delivered one time). In unsuccessful attempts, the dialer will move on to the next
phone/pager number after receiving 8 busy or 8 rings without an answer. Once an attempt is successful in
delivering the OGM, it will not dial that number again (Numbers stored as pager numbers will be dialed twice).
The dialer will not allow voice messages to be delivered to programmed numeric pager locations.
If you send a message to a phone attached to an answering machine, it will consider this a successful attempt.
Make sure you designate the maximum number of message repeats to be sure that a complete message will be
left on the answering machine, because part or all of your emergency message may be “lost” while the answering
machine delivers its greeting message.
Placing your system in OPERATE can also be used as a final test of the full functionality of The Emergency
Caller’s, momentary/continuous trigger, phone/pager numbers and OGM. Although serving as a test, this mode
reflects actual operation; therefore the OGM will not be heard through your dialer’s speaker but only by each
party called.
To begin operating your system, simply press the “M” Mode key until the word OPERATE appears on the LCD.
To disarm the dialer, switch the mode to OFF by pressing the same key. All programming information will be
retained
Input Activation
The input is activated by the pendant or the Aux. input terminals in the battery compartment. Wireless Activation
is activated by pulling on the pendant. Once the pendant is activated, the Emergency Caller will be alarmed and
begin the dialing sequence.
Aux. Activation can be activated by a normally open latching push button or a normally open dry contact
connected to the to the Aux. input terminals. Under a momentary activation, a single violation of the input (either
from the wireless pendant or the Aux. input) will cause the dialer to initiate delivering the OGM to all
programmed numbers. Under continuous activation, the dialer will initiate the process, terminating it if/when the
wireless pendant or Aux. input is restored to a non-alarm state. Once the activated channel has been restored to a
non-alarm state, it will then be re-armed and ready for the next alarm.
Additional Features
The dialer offers three innovative features that enhance the utility of the entire system.
Listen-In
While receiving an OGM on a touch-tone phone, the called party can press “1” to listen in to the activity at the
other end of the line for one minute. Pressing “1” again restarts the minute increment period and can be repeated
indefinitely. When “1” is pressed the OGM will stop playing and the listen in period will start.
Operating
The Emergency Caller

19
Two-Way
After the called party is listening-in, that party can press “2” to begin a two-way conversation lasting for one
minute. This procedure also can be repeated indefinitely by pressing “2” again to restart the minute. Once you
are in two-way mode you cannot go back to Listen-In.
Remote Turn-Off
The called party can remotely terminate the activated channel any time during the OGM by pressing “1” then “#”
twice within one second. The dialer will continue to monitor the remaining channel. Once the terminated channel
is restored to a non-alarm state, it will re-arm. If in listen-in or two-way, simply press “#” twice in one second,
for remote turn-off.
