Programming Personal Help Buttons (PHB) and Other Devices - 
Overview 

 
The MXD3G unit can be programmed to recognize numerous PHBs and other devices.  This is done in 
the following high level steps:  

1.

 

Place the MXD3G base unit in the programming mode for the desired group using the T/L and 
RESET buttons in the sequences described below 

2.

 

Send a signal from the device to the MXD3G base unit, so that the base unit can “learn” the 
code into its memory 

3.

 

Program additional devices, if any, into the selected group  

4.

 

Select the next group into which devices are to be programmed 

5.

 

Program the devices into the new group 

6.

 

Continue until all devices are programmed into the desired groups 

7.

 

Return the MXD3G to normal operation mode at any time by pressing the RESET button 

8.

 

Test each device to verify that they are programmed correctly and are reporting to the response 
center under the correct group   

 
The following paragraphs describe each of the above steps in more detail.  

MXD3G PHB and Other Device Groups 

Device codes are stored in one or more groups for each type of device.  The following groups are 
available for each type of device:   
 

Type of Device 

Number of Groups 

Number of Devices that can be 

stored in Each Group 

Personal Help Buttons (PHBs) 
(mobile devices worn on the 
neck or wrist) 

Medication Dispensers 

Smoke Detectors 

Supervised (stationary devices 
mounted on a wall or surface 
that must automatically report 
their status to base unit at 
intervals) 

Carbon Monoxide Detectors 

 

PHB Groups:

  

Codes for up to four different PHBs can be programmed into 

a single

 PHB group.  All devices within a 

single group are treated by the MXD3G as if they were the same device when the MXD3G reports a 
signal to the response center. This allows a subscriber to have more than one PHB that always is 
recognized in the same way.
