LEAVE YOUR CHARGING STATION ON
To get the best life from the alarm battery and
the fastest location in an emergency, please
leave your home charging station plugged in and
turned on all the time somewhere in your home.
Home Charging Station: Features
10
Introduction to your Home Charging Station
The station is an intelligent charger that performs
some of the same functions as the pendant.
It communicates to the pendant via Bluetooth.
It contains a loudspeaker that makes announcements
such as “Your alarm is charging”.
Programmed with your home address
We have programmed your station with the GPS
location of the home address you supplied with your
order setup information. The station remembers this
location all the time. For more information see
pg. 12-13 “Using the GPS feature”.
Plugging in your Home Charging Station
Loosen and unwind the cable from underneath the
station and plug the USB plug into the white power
adapter. The lights around the station will come on.
Placing the device in the Charging Station
Please make sure you place the device in the correct
position when charging. It is in the correct position
when it vibrates. Lights around the base will change
colour and you hear a voice announcement that it is
charging.
Rechargeable backup battery
The station is equipped with a 8oomAh, lithium,
backup battery. This battery can charge the device
when the power goes out at home or when you are
traveling. The backup battery can last for up to 8
hours, which is enough for most power blackouts.
Going away on holidays
If you travel away from home on holidays, we advise
you to use the magnetic charging cable or purchase an
extra charger rather than taking your Home Charging
Station with you. This is because the programmed
location will not update automatically to your holiday
or temporary address.
If the station is within Bluetooth range at your
temporary address it will use the home address we
programmed during the setting up of your device.
Moving home
If you are making a longer or more permanent move,
then the home address programmed into your station
can be updated by calling our Customer Support team
on
1800 936 774
and selecting option 2.
Home Charging Station Bluetooth distance
Inside buildings, the Bluetooth connection from the
station to the pendant can be obstructed by walls and
other objects. The rated range for the Bluetooth is 25
metres when obstructed.
When the pendant is too far from the station it
will not be able to perform the Bluetooth functions
such as SOS activation, calling a contact, speed dial
and providing the pendant's location via Bluetooth.
Instead, the alarm will use Wi-Fi and GPS for location
when too far from the Home Charging Station.
Home location beacon
The Home Charging Station acts like a home beacon
when you need help. It communicates via Bluetooth
with your pendant when you press the SOS/Heart
button or the Fall Detection is triggered. The fastest
way for the pendant to find your location when you
are home is via Bluetooth.
If you supplied setup information when you placed
your order, we have manually programmed your
station with the GPS location of your home address
you supplied. The station remembers this location all
the time. If you are at home, the pendant uses the
location of your station on Google Maps and includes
that location in the SOS text messages that are sent
to your emergency contacts. If your pendant cannot
find its location via the Station's Bluetooth, then it
uses Wi-Fi and GPS to find its location.
Uses Bluetooth first
By default the pendant uses Bluetooth first, then any
available Wi-Fi and then GPS to find its location. You
do not need to pair the device to Bluetooth or set up
Wi-Fi manually.
