PERS Console Operating Modes
Your PERS Console operates in three operating
“modes”. Each mode sets the Console to act differently
to match your lifestyle at different times of the day.
In any of the three modes, the Console is always ready
to report an emergency if you press the
HELP
button
or activate one of your portable emergency sensors.
Home Mode
Home Mode is for when you are at home during the day. In Home
Mode, the Console knows if your emergency sensors are present
and ready to use. If a sensor does not regularly report to the
Console, a trouble report can be sent to your monitoring service.
Away Mode
Away Mode is for when you are going to be away from home. In
Away Mode, the Console knows that your portable emergency
sensors might be away from the Console and will abstain from
reporting any sensors that are missing. Console announcements
and reminder messages are also suppressed in Away Mode.
Night Mode
Night Mode is for nighttime when you are sleeping or do not
wish to be disturbed. In Night Mode, Console operates the same
as in Home Mode except that announcements and reminder
messages are suppressed.
In Case of Emergency
If you need assistance, place a call to the monitoring
service by pressing the
HELP
button on the Console or
by activating one of your portable emergency sensors.
Remember, the portable emergency sensors send
radio signals to the Console, and there is a limit to the
maximum distance from the Console that the portable
emergency sensors can be used.
Do not press
Cancel
before talking to the monitoring
service dispatcher or your emergency call may be
canceled.
The Console will announce “Emergency call being
placed”. When your monitoring service receives the
call, they will verify the nature of your emergency
and dispatch help for you. If the Console’s 2-way
communications are active, the Console will announce
“Emergency reported, please stand by”. The monitoring
service can talk and listen to you to through the Console.
PERS Console Special Features
In addition to the three operating modes, your PERS
Console contains several special features that can be
turned on or off by your monitoring service.
Activity Timer
When the activity timer is on, you will need to press the
Home
button or activate a special sensor every day to prevent an automatic
alarm from triggering. Your monitoring service can set one or two
time periods that will be available to you to reset the activity timer.
The activity timer is always off in Away Mode or Night Mode.
Activity time period #1: ___:___ AM or PM to ___:___ AM or PM
Activity time period #2: ___:___ AM or PM to ___:___ AM or PM
Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Detection
For increased protection, wireless smoke and carbon monoxide
detectors can be setup as sensors with your PERS Console. In
case of a dangerous fi re or gas event, the sensor will sound its
alarm and the Console’s alarm, which can be reported to the
monitoring service.
Reminder Messages
Five pre-recorded reminder messages can be announced by the
Console at set dates and times. The messages can inform you
when it’s time for an appointment, your medicine, a ride, or to test
your PERS system. One special message can also be set up as
an alarm clock. Press
Cancel
to silence a reminder message.
Temperature Alarms
The Console contains a sensor that constantly monitors the room
temperature. The system can report if the room temperature goes
higher or lower that limits preset by your monitoring service.
High temperature limit:_____ Low temperature limit:_____
Speakerphone Mode
The Console can be set up to work as a hands-free speakerphone
for incoming calls. Pressing the
HELP
button or activating an
emergency sensor while the telephone is ringing will answer the
call. Pressing
HELP
or activating an emergency sensor during
the call will disconnect the caller.
Remote Call-in Speakerphone Mode
The Console can be set up to answer the phone and start the
speakerphone automatically after the caller enters a 4-digit
password. The caller can talk and listen to you through the
Console’s speaker and microphone.
PERS Console Alarm Priorities
Each type of alarm is assigned a priority. Higher priority alarms
override lower priority alarms. Smoke alarms (on/off horn sound)
have the highest priority, followed by carbon monoxide alarms (on/
off buzz sound), emergency alarms (3 beeps sound), then other
types of maintenance and reminder reports (various sounds).
