1.0 Welcome to VRI400
Congratulations! You have chosen the most advanced and reliable Personal Emergency Response
System available to provide you comfort and peace of mind.
Help is just one touch away!
Pressing your waterproof Personal Help Button will immediately activate the VRI400. Within seconds, the
Response Center will be notified that you need assistance. A caring and professionally trained Care
Assistant will talk to you through the VRI400 speakerphone. The friendly Care Assistant will telephone
your friends, neighbors, family or authorities based on the type of assistance you need.
If you cannot hear
the Care Assistant, do not worry, help will automatically be summoned.
VRI400 is fast and simple to connect to your telephone. A Service Provider usually connects the
VRI400; however, you may elect to do it yourself. In either case, the Subscriber Information Form must be
completed with your name, address, responder names and any important medical information that would be
helpful to the Care Assistant.
2.0 Installation
Your VRI400 should be installed in an area that is free from sources of loud noise. The location
should be in a central part of the home that is used frequently and near a telephone jack and AC electrical
outlet.
When your VRI400 calls the Response Center, the telephone and any other device connected to
the PHONE jack on the rear of your VRI400 will be disconnected during the call. This means that if this
telephone is off-hook, your VRI400 can still contact the Response Center. If there are other extensions of
the same telephone number in your home that are off-hook when your VRI400 needs to place a call, it will
not be able to unless the local telephone company has installed an RJ31X jack. This allows the VRI400 to
disconnect any telephone in the house that may be off -hook. If you elect to have an RJ31X jack installed,
contact your Service Provider and ask for an RJ31X telephone cord, part number RA400-RJ31X.
When connecting multiple devices such as a telephone, answering machine, Caller-ID, etc. along
with your VRI400 to the same telephone wall jack (see Figure 2), it is important that your VRI400 be the
only device connected directly to the telephone wall jack.
