Erasing All Previously Learned Pendants:
Simply holding down the
RED
Code Learn
button at the back of the Base unit for 8 seconds. You will hear the
confirmation of “Erase All Pendants, All pendants Erased” from the Base unit. After that, you can program a
new pendant to the base unit following the steps above as desired.
Basic Set-up and Test:
Lanyard, Wrist
Strap
The System comes with 2 accessories for carrying the pendant. You can wear the Pendant using the
Lanyard or Wrist-strap. Note that the Wrist-Strap can also be used as a way to attach the Pendant to a wheel
chair. Choose the method that suits your customer’s needs.
The image above shows the method of attaching the lanyard to the Pendant. Note that the lanyard has a break-
away feature to release if it gets caught on something while around someone’s neck.
System Check:
•
The CaretakerSentry has the ability to easily perform a full System check. Press and HOLD the
CANCEL
button on the base unit until the base answers “System Check.”
•
The GREEN INFO LED will turn on (the base will remain in this System Check mode for 3 minutes).
•
You can end the System Check at any time by PUSHING the CANCEL button for 1 second. The base will
announce programming switch position and software version.
Push the Gray Emergency button on the pendant for 2 seconds (multiple pendants can be checked during the
same session) and the base unit will announce:
“All Systems are ok.”
This confirms the following:
•
Battery status
•
The Pendant is working. The Base unit is working.
•
The Base unit is connected to a working phone line. The Pendant is within range of the Base unit.
“System cannot detect dial tone” / “System cannot detect phone line.”
The Base unit is not connected to the phone line or can not get a dial tone for some reason.
“Base and Pendant out of range”
if no pendant was recognized
This confirms one or more of the following:
•
The Pendant has malfunctioned.
•
The Pendant and Base unit are not communicating with each other or are out or range.
If you receive a failure notification, please refer to the TROUBLESHOOTING guide on page
17
of this manual
to determine the cause.
Remind your customers to perform a System Check at least twice a month.
NOTE:
The Pendant does a self test on the pendant battery every 13 hours. When the battery level gets to the
“Replace battery now” level, it will send a signal to the central station to notify them of this situation.
This pendant does not have any user serviceable parts – if a low battery condition or if failures
occur, the pendant MUST BE replaced.
