Operation
The CairFall is an interoperable, intelligent and easy to configure Fall Detector which can be worn on the wrist or around the neck.
The clever CairFall allows individuals to move around their home confidently, knowing that an alert will be raised if they suffer a hard
fall. It also allows the user to manually call for help. There are five sensitivity settings to suit any level of activity. The CairFall also
features an optional cancellation period and a choice of three radio protocols.
Please read these instructions fully before attempting to use the CairFall.
Important: To reduce the risk of false alarms, the CairFall is designed to pick up heavy falls only, although not every fall of this type
will be detected. For this reason, whenever the user needs assistance they should always press the button on the CairFall if possible.
Sensitivity Levels
The CairFall has 5 sensitivity levels. Level 1 is the least sensitive and level 5 is the most sensitive. The default is level 3.
As a general rule, to reduce the possibility of false alarms, the least sensitive levels should be used with more active users and the
most sensitive levels with less active individuals.
Although if a user experiences false alarms no matter how active they are, the sensitivity level should be adjusted towards the least
sensitive levels, preferably one increment at a time until the ideal level is reached. The opposite is true too - if the level isn’t sensitive
enough, adjust it towards the more sensitive levels.
Wearing Options
The CairFall can be worn in two ways - on the wrist or around the neck. The elastic strap can be adjusted to suit the user’s wrist. The
CairFall should be worn on the non-dominant wrist. If the neck cord is preferred, remove the spring bars which hold the wrist strap in
place, and use them to secure the neck attachment.
Switching the CairFall On
1.
To exit transport mode and to switch the CairFall on, press the button 5 times in quick succession. The blue LED will flash each
time the button is pressed.

Shortly after the 5th press, the amber LED will flash a number of times to indicate the programmed sensitivity level, after which
the CairFall will switch on.

To check it has successfully switched on, press the button, the green LED (the LED will flash red if the battery is low) will flash

Transport mode should be used when keeping the CairFall in storage, and also when access to the programming menu is required.
1.
To enter transport mode, press the button 5 times in quick succession, holding the button in on the 5th press.

While holding the button in, the green LED will flash and a radio message will be sent, followed by the blue LED flashing rapidly
to confirm that the CairFall has entered transport mode. If the blue LED doesn’t flash rapidly, please repeat the process.
