The battery should be tested at least twice a month along
with the System Check outlined on the this page.
When it gets to the point after a few years that the pendant battery only lasts
4 weeks before needing to be charged - it is then time to replace both the
Pendant batteries. Note: This is a very unusual battery not available at most
outlets. Order replacement batteries from LogicMark as directed on page 33.
NOTE:
The pendants are monitored by the base unit. The pendant reports to
the base every 13 hours. If the battery condition is “Replace Battery Now”,
the base unit will call the fi rst ‘Friend’ number and play the voice prompt
[Pendant number X, Replace Battery Now]. The voice prompt is played 10
times, then hangs up and resets.
And, if the base unit misses 4 reports from the pendant in a row (52 hours),
the base unit will call the fi rst ‘Friend’ number and play the voice prompt
[Pendant Number X, Not in communication]. The voice prompt is played
10 times, then hangs up and resets.
Pressing the 9 on the phone keypad on either of these messages will stop the
announcement and cause the unit to reset.
If the fi rst ‘Friend’ gets either of these announcements, please make arrange-
ments as soon as possible to service or replace the pendant.
The unit will not call 911 to report a Replace Battery Now or Pendant Failed
condition. A ‘Friend’ number must be programmed for this feature to work.
System Check:
The gray button on the back of the pendant case which is used to perform the
BATTERY CHECK, will also perform a SYSTEM CHECK. Press and hold
this button for more than four (4) seconds. One of the following announce-
ments will be made.
“All systems are ok.”

the base to reset and repeat steps 1 & 2.
• When more than 1 pendant is learned to the base, the base unit will
announce the pendant number when doing testing like the battery test.
At a later point in time, you might want to erase your previously learned
Pendants. You can erase all previously learned Pendants by simply holding
down the red
Code Learn
button at the back of the Base unit for 8 seconds.
You will hear the confi rmation of “Previous Pendant Codes Erased” from
the Base unit. After that, you can program a new Pendant to the base unit
following the steps above as desired.
Operating the FreedomAlert:
Operating the Pendant.
The Pendant is simple in operation - having one
main Blue button - and a smaller Gray button on the back.
The Blue button on the front is the
main button to push for a full 2 seconds
to initiate a call. Once this button is
pushed the call proceeds forward to the
‘Friends’ list and or 911 depending on
the slide switch setting on the back of
the Base unit.
