Waterproof Personal Help Button (PHB) (Figure 3)
Your PHB may be worn as a necklace or a bracelet. Both styles are waterproof and should be worn in
the bathtub and shower. Your PHB uses an indicator light to display the status of its internal battery.
While your PHB is being pushed, a green light will indicate that the internal battery is good. A red light
indicates that the internal battery may be weak.
Personal Help Button Performance
The MXD3G unit is equipped with a sophisticated receiver that is carefully matched to the PHB. The
MXD3G unit can receive signals from the Personal Help Button when it is up to 600 feet away from the
base unit.
Battery Monitoring
Your MXD3G unit is equipped with an internal rechargeable battery. The battery provides constant
power to your MXD3G unit for up to 60 hours if power is lost. The MXD3G constantly monitors its
battery condition when the unit is being powered by its battery.
Optional Features
Automatic Testing
Your MXD3G has the capability of being programmed to carry out automatic tests. Your service provider
decides whether such tests will be conducted, their frequency and the type of tests to be done as part of
the service that the provider offers. These tests may include automatic voice tests, during which the
MXD3G sends a test signal to the response center and then connects you to an attendant. The MXD3G
can also send an automatic dial test where the MXD3G “reports in” to the response center and then
completes the call without switching to voice mode. Contact your service provider if you have questions
about its testing policies.
Manual Testing
It is recommended that you test your unit manually at regular intervals, by pushing your PHB. We want
you to be familiar and comfortable with your MXD3G and your monitoring center.
Additional PHBs
Your MXD3G unit can be programmed to respond to multiple PHBs. There are four PHB groups available
in each MXD3G unit, and each group can remember and recognize up to four PHBs. Your MXD3G unit
can be easily reprogrammed to respond to additional PHBs. Please see instructions on page
12
or
contact your service provider.
