This Guardian Safety Pendant (GSP) is reliant on the cell phone service provider’s network
coverage to make phone calls, to send SMS text messages and to transmit information
regarding GPS positioning. These services may vary between providers and locations
throughout the world. GPS location is often not available when the Guardian MediFone is
inside a building. Also, outdoor location performance can sometimes deliver inaccurate
coordinates if the device is unable to get a fix on a minimum number of satellites. The
accuracy of GPS positioning is determined by having a clear line of sight to the available
satellites.
It is highly recommended that the user test their unit every 1-3 months by pressing and
holding the SOS button. Warn contacts first. It is the user’s responsibility to assure that their
phone service provider is notified before their credit or debit card expires or if credit needs
to be added to the SIM card used in their Guardian Safety Pendant.
KEY POINTS
• It is NOT RECOMMENDED to wear with the lanyard while sleeping.
• Care must be taken with the MediFone while showering because soap or shampoo can infiltrate and
damage the electronics. We recommend using a Guardian Shower Bag which will eliminate the
possibility that chemicals used while bathing could disable your MediFone and void it’s Warranty.
• Switch off your MediFone when instructed to turn off all mobile phones on commercial aircraft.
• Avoid using a damaged power cable. This may cause overheating or a potential fire hazard.
• Never use any chemical or detergent to clean the MediFone. This may erode its surface.
• In order to eliminate the risk of electric shock, do not touch the ends of the power cable,
charging plug or the metal parts on the inside of the charging cradle with wet or damp hands.
• Avoid direct prolonged exposure to sunlight and high temperatures to negate the potential
of over-heating the battery, which may cause damage.
• A pacemaker and any personal alarm should always be separated by at least 15
centimetres. Your GSP can be worn with a longer lanyard, on a wrist strap or belt pouch.
