GPS Alert Pendant

Safety precautions
The GPS Alert Pendant is solely
reliant on the mobile phone service provider’s network coverage to
make phone calls, to send SMS text messages and to transmit information regarding GPS
positioning. Be aware that services may vary between different mobile service providers and their
coverage provided in different locations.
GPS locations are sometime not available to the pendant in large buildings and their accuracy is
variable. Often the pendant will provide a last known location which will be at the outside of a
building for example, prior to entering a shopping centre.
When outside, the pendant must have a clear uninterrupted line of sight to a minimum number of
available satellites to provide its accurate GPS location.
It is highly recommended that the user periodically tests their unit every week by pressing the SOS
button and warn the emergency contacts it is an emergency drill.
It is the user’s responsibility
to ensure their mobile service provider has their most up to date and
accurate personal information and billing details. They are also responsible to ensure their sim card
has enough credit available to use at any time and that they are aware of when their credit and sim
card will expire.
Please ensure when using the pedant:
•
Do not wear the pendant when sleeping.
•
Turn off the pendant when entering hazardous areas, as the pendant can be a potential
ignition sources to gas or explosives.
•
Turn off your pendant when in commercial aircrafts or whenever instructed due to safety
reasons
•
In the event of an electrical storm, please turn off your docking station and power cord from
the power point.

microphone or speaker points. As the water will damage the hardware and any substance

Do not use any chemicals on the casing of the pendant as it can erode the casing
•
Always ensure your hands are dry when managing the pendant to recharge at the cradle and
power socket to ensure electrical safety.
