Adding Additional Pendants to the System.
FreedomAlert comes with one Pendant. If you want to add additional pen-
dants to your system - follow the directions here. If not, skip this section.
The Pendant’s unique ID code should already be learned into the Base unit
when it came from the factory. You can add a total of 4 Pendants and Emer-
gency Wall Communicators (see available accessories on page 33) to the
system by simply learning each pendant’s ID code to the Base unit.
To program a new Pendant to the Base unit:
On the Base Unit:
1. Push and release the RED Code Learn button on the back of the base
unit. You will hear a voice prompt “Pendant Learning”
On the Pendant:
2. PUSH the Gray Battery Test button and then IMMEDIATELY push
the Blue Panic button –HOLD both buttons until you hear “Pendant
Learning” from the pendant - then release both buttons on the pendant.
• If “Base and Pendant out of Range” or “Pendant Learning Failed”
is heard from the pendant, stop - wait 30 seconds and start at step
#1 again. (Note: For the Emergency Wall Communicator, push and
hold the Red “Help” and gray test button).
3. When Pendant learning has been successful you will hear “All Systems
are OK” and then it will announce the call setting that the base is set
to – Friends 911 Mode, Friends Only or 911 Only.
• If “Base and Pendant out of Range” or “Pendant Learning Failed” is
heard from the Base or Pendant, STOP - wait 30 seconds and start
at step #1 again.
Notes:
• You have up to 45 seconds after pushing the RED Code Learn button
on the base unit to get the pendant to enter “Pendant Learning” Mode.
• Teaching additional pendants does not erase previously learned pen-
dants.
• The base unit will automatically exit the pendant learning mode after
several seconds or if Pendant Learning Failed.
• If you hear the voice prompt “Base and Pendant Out of Range” or
“Pendant Learning Failed” an error has occurred, wait 30 seconds for
v0.8

Caution - To ensure proper operation, this equipment must be
installed according to the these instructions. We highly recom-
mend that you perform this System Check after set-up and instal-
lation and at least twice a month to confi rm that your system is
working properly and that the pendant and base unit are in good
communication and that the base unit can get a dial tone. It is
also recommended to perform this system check after a lightning
storm that could damage the base unit which is plugged into the
phone line.
