enter the setup for each 

different feature

1.   Add your new Personal Security Communicator mobile 

number into your smartphone contact list (see welcome 

letter/email for mobile number).

2.   Put your device into “admin mode”. With the device off, 

press the ON/OFF button and SOS button simultaneously 

for 2 seconds. The device will turn on, the front LEDs will 

start flashing and a voice will announce the Firmware 

number. You will need to wait until another voice  

confirms the “device is connected”. If this does not happen, 

it may mean the network availability is low in the area, and 

you may need to move the device somewhere it can connect 

to the network.

3.   In the Daktel app on your smartphone, press the “Add 

Device” button. Search for the contact that you previously 

set up in the smartphone, and select it. Click “Add” and  

send a “Go Conecto” message to the device. The device 

will read out your mobile number and you will receive a 

confirmation text.

The device is now paired to this smartphone. If you wish for 

other phones to be able to control and monitor this device,  

you will need to add them into the SOS numbers (Phone 2-7)  

or Memory numbers (M1 & M2).

Find location

This function will launch your smartphone’s messaging system, 

so you can send a text code to the device. Once your text has 

been sent, the Personal Security Communicator will send a 

return text with location details (as long as the device is on,  

has network connectivity and has received a location).

Call device

This function allows you to call directly to the device, it will 

ask you to confirm that you wish to call the Personal Security 

Communicator before automatically launching a phone call.  

If auto answer is enabled, Personal Security Communicator  

will automatically pick up the call for the user.

Switch device

If you have multiple Personal Security Communicators, you 

will need to make sure that you are changing settings for the 

correct device. Press “switch device” to change the current 

Personal Security Communicator (current Personal Security 

Communicator displayed in top left corner).

Note: 

These instructions on page 8-14 only apply to customers who have chosen self-monitoring.
