 USER’S GUIDE

 

Wireless Emergency Response System 

Congratulations on your purchase of the wireless AMBER SELECT / 
AMBER SELECT

X

 Personal Emergency Response system. 

The AMBER SELECT

X

 operates the same as the AMBER SELECT but 

without a display. 
This home health care signaling system was designed to support people 
in their home environment. In the event of an emergency, help can be 
summoned at the press of a button and that same message can be sent 
to private numbers that you have selected for notification. In the event of 
fire, the system can be programmed to automatically call the monitoring 
station or to private phones.  
The Unit includes a large display (not applicable to AMBER SELECT

X

) that 

shows the system status, the time and preprogrammed medication 
reminders. 
The Unit's rechargeable backup battery can provide up to 24 hours of 
operation. When AC power is restored, the backup battery is automatically 
recharged. 

What's Included 

Before you begin to set up your system, make sure you have all the 
necessary components.
