Whenever you get into difficulty, you can trigger an alarm in any of three ways:

Press until all three indicators
flash and you hear two beeps.
You should see:
• All three indicators initially illuminate,
then:
• Red only: Contact is being made with
the home unit, then:
• Amber only: Home unit is dialling the
first emergency contact number, then:
• Green only: Respondent has pressed
the star button on their phone*.
You should hear:
• The device emit two beeps.
• Then: The call being placed, your
emergency message being played
repeatedly* and the respondent as
they answer.
• When they press their star button,
you will be able to speak with them
via your pendant or pullcord.

having first attended to the caller.
