cloth. Solvents should not be used when cleaning the Personal Care Alarm box or the
Mobile Alarm.
Periodic test call
The Personal Care Alarm box is programmed to carry out a periodic test once every 28
days to ensure it is in working order. This is a background call and will not disturb you.
Replacing your Personal Care Alarm box batteries
The battery in the Personal Care Alarm box will be monitored by the 24/7 BT Alarm

to dispose of batteries correctly.
