Note: It is important to test your system at least once a month. The test button light on
your Base Station will flash green repeatedly within one (1) month of the last button press
letting you know when it is time for you to test your system.
When this happens, use the auto test button on your Base Station or do a live operator
test. Upon completing your test, the button will stop flashing.
Neck and/or Wrist Button Range Test Instructions:
•
Press and hold TEST and RESET buttons at the same time until device emits “Range Test Started”
•
Press pendant(s) as needed from different locations in or around the home. The Cellular Base
Station will emit a beep indicating that the pendant was able to send an RF signal to the device.
•
Press the RESET button on the Cellular Base Station to exit the Range Test mode. The Cellular Base
Station will emit “Range Test Stopped”.
Note: When conducting a Range Test, it may be helpful for subscribers to work with a
partner. One person can walk around the home and press the pendant button at strategic
locations while another person stands by the Cellular Base Station to ensure that it beeps
when the pendant button is pressed.
