Barriers to getting a GPS fix 

The GPS needs to see the sky in order for the 
device to work out where it is. Inside some homes 
and buildings it will not be able to connect to the 
satellites till it is near a window. Some structures 
like basements, lifts, tunnels and building interiors 
with no close by windows will mean a GPS fix 
cannot be obtained. Sometimes also inside a car 
there can be delays in obtaining a GPS fix.

In general, remember that GPS was designed for 
outside use and that when indoors a GPS fix is not 
as easy to obtain at times. We cannot guarantee 
it will always know its current location on Google 
Maps via GPS. However, Bluetooth and/or Wi-Fi 
location will be sent instead in these situations.

Find me function 

If you lose your Live Life alarm, you can send it the 
find me text command:

Finding the location of the device using GPS  

To find out the location of the person wearing the 
device, send the following text command to the 
device from a mobile phone:

The device will send a text reply with its location on 
Google Maps. 

Calling the device 

Anyone knowing the mobile number of the pendant 
can call it and it will ring once and then answer 
automatically in speakerphone mode (hands-free).

Designed for serious falls

The Live Life alarm has an inbuilt fall detection 
feature that is designed to detect serious or unbroken 
falls, likely to result in unconsciousness. It has been 
designed this way so as to be a secondary level of 
assistance to compliment the SOS help texts and 
calls. If after a fall a wearer is not able to press the 
SOS/Heart button due to being unable to move or 
reach the SOS/Heart button, then the fall detection 
function can send out the text alerts and follow up 
with voice calls.

How it works

 

The device uses an algorithm to make a judgement 
as to whether a serious fall has occurred. Amongst 
other things, it measures the speed and angle at 
which the device hits the ground. If all criteria are 
met, it will vibrate and a clear voice will announce 
Fall has been detected, click the SOS/Heart button to 
cancel the fall alert
” to tell you it thinks a fall has 
occurred.

During this time it can be cancelled by clicking 
the SOS/Heart button. If it is not cancelled, then it 
sends out ‘Fall down alert!’ as text messages with the 
wearer's location on Google Maps and then follows 
up with the voice call sequence to your contacts.

Emerging technology

 

Fall detection is still a developing technology which 
means sometimes false alerts can occur. However, if 
the alarm detects a fall, you will be warned and will 
have plenty of time to press the SOS/Heart button 
to cancel the fall alert sequence. Additionally, we 
cannot guarantee every serious fall will be detected 
as many variables come into play. The device must 
generally be at least 1 metre above the ground 
before the fall. The impact surface and bracing can 
also influence it.

Changing the sensitivity setting 

The default fall sensitivity level is 5. Do not set it 
lower than 5 as fall detection may not activate  
below 5. If you need advice around false fall 
activations please call our Support team.
