Programming the Sensitivity Levels & Cancel Options
Please read the steps below before programming as the CairFall quickly leaves the Programming Menu if no button is pressed.
1.
Enter transport mode by following the steps in the Entering Transport Mode section (page 2). Ensure that the blue LED flashes every
time the button is pressed.
2.
To enter the programming menu, press the button 7 times. Shortly after the 7th press, the green LED will flash rapidly.
3.
The amber LED will flash a number of times to indicate the existing sensitivity level.
4.
The white LED will illuminate for 5 seconds. During this time, press and release the button to match the sensitivity level or option
number you would like to select, i.e. Once for No.1, twice for No.2, etc. The LED will flash every time the button is pressed. Note: If the
button isn’t pressed at this time, the red LED will flash rapidly and the CairFall will leave the programming menu within a few seconds.
5.
Shortly after the last button press, the amber LED will flash to indicate the selected number.
6.
The red LED will then flash rapidly and the CairFall will leave the programming menu.
7.
Protocol options only: The LED will flash rapidly in different colours followed by a single flash two seconds later.
8.
Repeat steps 2-6 if more programming is required.
9.
When finished programming, switch the CairFall on by following the steps in the Switching On section on page 2.
Tip: Refer to the flowchart on page 5 for an alternative explanation of the Programming Menu.

Protocol Options
The CairFall is an interoperable device with three built-in radio protocols. The protocols can be programmed by following the same steps as
detailed in the ‘Programming the Sensitivity Levels and Cancel Options’ section above. The number of button presses required to program
the protocols has intentionally been set high and spaced apart to avoid accidental programming.
No.15. Tunstall
No.20. TeleAlarm
No.25
. Appello
Cancelling a Fall
When the CairFall assumes a fall has occurred, an alert will be sent after 4 seconds if the cancellation period is switched off, or 24 seconds
if the cancellation period is switched on.
When the cancellation period is switched on, a fall alert can be cancelled within 24 seconds by pressing the button 3 times in quick
succession. The amber LEDs should stop flashing shortly after the 3rd press.
Note: Fall alerts cannot be cancelled when the cancellation period is switched off. If cancellation is attempted, two radio messages will be
sent by the CairFall - the fall first, followed by the button press.
Assigning the CairFall to a Buzzz or other telecare system
1.
Ensure the CairFall is switched on.
2.
Prepare the Buzzz/other system by entering registration mode.
3.
Activate the CairFall by pressing the button.
4.
The Buzzz/other system should acknowledge the new device.
Note: The above steps are sufficient to register both the button and fall functions to a Tunstall compatible system. For TeleAlarm and
Appello systems, both functions must be registered separately, so repeat steps 2-4 to register the fall function.
Simulating a Fall
To test the CairFall, hold the device in your hand, or wear it on your wrist. Raise your arm up above your head then drop your arm naturally -
don’t force your arm down, just let gravity take over. The CairFall should start flashing and vibrating immediately to indicate it has detected a
fall. Repeat this process if the CairFall doesn’t activate.
