Your pendant transmitter can be activated by simply 

pushing its red button. Once pushed, a signal is 

sent from the pendant transmitter to the Base Unit 

and the red LED on the pendant transmitter 

illuminates. The Base Unit then calls the Monitoring 

Center and opens a two-way voice communication 

between the user and the Monitoring Center. The 

Base Unit's display (AMBER CLASSIC only) shows 

CALLING FOR HELP together with the name and 

number of the activated pendant. 
If your phone is ringing, pressing the pendant's 
red button once will answer the incoming call. You 
can then talk over the unit's speakerphone. To 
end the speakerphone call and hang up, simply 
press the pendant button again.  

 

Neckband

 - You can wear the pendant 

transmitter using the neckband. Slip the tab on 
the neckband into the slot on the pendant 
transmitter and fasten the tab. 

 

Optional

 

Wristband

 - Your pendant transmitter 

can also be used with an optional wristband. To 
make the pendant transmitter wristband smaller, 
slide the pendant transmitter towards the buckle. 
To make the wristband larger, slide the pendant 
transmitter away from the buckle. 

Calling for Emergency Assistance 

If you need emergency assistance, press the button 
on your pendant transmitter or press the large, red 
EMERGENCY button on your Base Unit. 
If you press the EMERGENCY button on the Base 
Unit, the display (AMBER CLASSIC only) shows 
EMERGENCY BUTTON WAS PRESSED. 
The Base Unit calls your Monitoring Center and 
sends an emergency alarm. When your Monitoring 
Center representative answers, you can hear him or 
her talking to you through the Base Unit.  
If you have a phone connected to the Base Unit 
and want to use the phone to talk with the 
representative, let the representative know and the 
Monitoring Center will return your call.

Trouble conditions are indicated by the red flashing 
LED and by the sounding of beeps, and are 
immediately reported to the Monitoring Center.

Trouble messages are shown on the Base Station

trouble condition and cancels the beeps. 

The Base Unit continues to transmit trouble 
messages every eight hours until the problem is 
resolved. 

Changing System Status 

When the user wants to leave the premises, the unit 
status must be changed to AWAY mode. The CHECK 
button should be held down for 5 seconds. The unit 
announces and displays (AMBER CLASSIC only) 
AWAY – REMINDERS OFF.  
In this state no medication reminders and no pendant 
checks will be announced. The unit's speaker is 
disabled and the yellow LED flashes. 
If the pendant transmitter button is pressed while in 

the AWAY mode, the unit will sound 

"EMERGENCY" and reports to the Monitoring 

Center. This initiates two-way communication 

through the speaker. In addition, any device that is 

alarmed while in AWAY mode immediately initiates 

a call to the Monitoring Center (as in HOME mode) 

and also initiates two-way communication. 
To return the status to HOME mode, hold down 

the CHECK button for 5 seconds. The unit's 

speaker will announce and display (AMBER 

CLASSIC only) "HOME – REMINDERS ON". The 

yellow LED will turn off.
