1.8 Ending Calls
The Mobile Defender allows you to end a call by simply pushing the SOS button. This will disconnect
the call immediately.
1.9 Fall Advisory Services
The MD-S offers an advanced, auto-fall advisory service. Once a fall is suspected, the MD-S will sound a
loud, audible alarm for 10 seconds to notify the end-user of the possible fall.
This gives the end-user
the chance to disable the pending alarm.
This is done by simply clicking the SOS button one-time.
This will stop the audible alarm and suppress the sending of the notice to the Emergency Response
Centre or caregiver.
The fall advisory service can be enabled/disabled by calling Caretrak. The MD-S can be worn on a
break-away lanyard around the neck or worn on the hip and the fall advisory service will work as
expected. The lanyard option gives the best and most accurate results when it is worn inside the
shirt/blouse/jacket to minimize the free movement of the device.
