Alarm Operation
Push-button Alarm
Send Personal Alarm
You press the red alarm button twice within two seconds to activate the alarm. By default the
text “Personal Alarm” appears. The alarm is sent to the alarm centre that distributes it further.
After that the handset returns to stand-by mode. Note that you can always trigger the alarm
when you are speaking, editing your settings, or while the handset is locked.
Send Test Alarm
If you press and hold the red alarm button until the (default) “Test Alarm” text appears the
following occurs depending on the options specified:
• A beep is heard.
• The orange LED flashes twice.
• The vibrator stirs.
• The handset receives a notification that the alarm has been received by the system.
• If configured, the Acoustic Location Signal (ALS) is activated after the alarm has been sent,
or a call is established to a pre-defined number.
If the parameter "Silent alarm" is set, ALS will not be triggered and you will not be notified
that the alarm was sent.
• information about the handset’s location is sent along with the alarm.
Man-down and No-movement Alarm
The Man-down alarm will react if the handset is tilted (default 45°) from the vertical for a
predefined period of time (default 7 seconds). The No-movement alarm will react if no
movement is detected during a predefined period of time (default 30 seconds).
The handset alerts by beep, vibrator and LED signals, depending on the settings, during a
predefined period of time (default 7 seconds). At the same time the handset displays the
message “Man-down warning. Cancel?“ or “No-movement warning. Cancel?“.
The handset then sends the alarm, unless the alarm is cancelled. The handset will confirm that
the alarm has been sent by beep, vibrator and LED signals. In addition the handset displays
the message “Man-down warning sent“ or “No-movement warning sent“.
