Device Testing 

Prior to use, verify the device is ready to 

use by checking the LED indicator.  
The status LED should be blinking 

green. This indicates that the device is 

within range of the WiFi network and will 

alarm in the software if the button is 

pressed. 

Periodic 

Testing 

1.  Make sure before testing your 

device that you have followed all the 

protocols in place by your facility to 

indicate you are performing a test. 

2.  In the Help Alert software, flag the 

next alarm for your device (via MAC 

ID) as a Test.  To do this you need 

Administrator credentials. 

3.  Push and hold the button on the 

device you are trying to test. 

4.  When the alert is seen in the 

software, follow the protocol in 

place to acknowledge and clear the 

alarm. 

5.  Your facility must keep the records 

for test and device inspection.
