Automatic Dial Test
If you prefer a silent test that requires no interaction, your MXD unit may be programmed to perform
the
Automatic Dial Test
instead. The following occurs during an Automatic Dial Test:
The MXD unit automatically sends a silent test signal during night time hours.*
If your telephone is being used, the MXD unit waits until the line is available.
The response center computer acknowledges the test signal.
The operation of the medical alert base unit is tested.
If the response center does not receive the expected test, your service provider may contact you to
help determine the cause.
*
NOTE
: We suggest setting the MXD to automatically test weekly, but your provider can schedule
automatic testing for any regular interval of days. If you choose to use the Automatic Dial Test, we still
encourage you to manually test the MXD unit at least once a month.
During routine monthly tests, your response center may verify your name, address, and
telephone number. This is to ensure that you will receive the fastest response time possible
during an emergency
. It is very important that you notify your response center of any
information changes made on your account.
You can do this by calling your response
center using the telephone number listed on page 2 of this manual, or by pressing your PHB
and relaying the information to the attendant.
Additional Use Instructions
Turning off the MXD
The MXD unit does not have an on/off switch. It will automatically turn on when first connected to an
AC power supply. In order to manually turn off the unit, unplug it from the AC power supply AND the
telephone line, and then hold down the T/L button for a few seconds, until the STATUS light on the edge
of the large console HELP button goes out. See Figure 9.

If it is not possible to unplug the AC power supply and the telephone line, the unit can be placed in an
inactive state by pressing the T/L button three times, until the unit announces
“

”
To turn off the Mytrex MXD, unplug the unit from
AC power, remove the phone cord from the unit’s
WALL jack, and hold down the T/L button for
several seconds until the unit shuts down and the
STATUS light goes completely off.
