PERSONAL HELP BUTTON
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The Personal Help Button (2GIG-PHB1-345) is a miniature, water-
resistant
1
, supervised transmitter designed for use with the 2GIG
Security Panels. The transmitter ships attached to a permanent
mounting accessory, which can be worn either on its adjustable
lanyard with a breakaway release or on the optional wristband.
The Personal Help Button can be programmed by installers to work
with 2GIG Security Panels as the
(08) 24-Hour Auxiliary Alarm
sensor
type and uses the equipment code:
(0868) 2GIG Panic Button Remote
.
For instructions programming wireless sensors, see the
Installation &
Programming Guide
for the 2GIG Security Panel.
WARNING:
Do NOT attempt to remove the transmitter from its
mounting accessory or damage may result.

Wearable Options
Turning the Battery Supervisor ON
The Personal Help Button ships with a built-in timer that expires seven
(7) days after its date of manufacture. After this timer expires, the
battery supervisor will automatically turn ON after you press the
Personal Help Button for the first time. When you release the button,
its LED indicator flashes GREEN to indicate that the battery supervisor
is working and active.
Every 70 minutes, the transmitter automatically tests itself for a low
battery. If the battery tests low, a low battery signal is sent to the 2GIG
Security Panel and the LED indicator on the Personal Help Button.
When the LED illuminates RED, the unit should be replaced.
IMPORTANT:
Because the transmitter is sealed to provide water-
resistance, the unit’s battery is not replaceable. The expected
battery-life for the device is approximately five (5) years under
normal operating conditions (for example, when supervision
is enabled and the Personal Help Button is used for one five
(5) second manual activation per week).
Activating an Emergency Alarm with the
Personal Help Button
Pressing the button on the transmitter sends a digitally-coded wireless
signal to the 2GIG Security Panel’s receiver indicating an alarm
condition.
IMPORTANT:
To ensure that the button sends a complete signal,
always press and hold the transmitter button for a minimum
of two (2) seconds.
