3.2 Monthly Testing
At least once every month you should perform a test call to the Response Center to assure
that your VRI400 is functioning properly.
Simply press your Personal Help Button. Within seconds, a friendly Care Assistant will
ask if you need help. Tell the Care Assistant that you are performing a test and do not require any
assistance.
3.3 Information Updates
Please inform the Response Center of any changes that are pertinent to your receiving
help. Changes may include responder names or phone number changes, area code changes,
additional responders, a change in your medical or household statu s, etc.
4.0 Using Your Personal Help Button
Your VRI400 is supplied with one waterproof Personal Help Button on a neckcord. If desired,
your Service Provider can replace the neckcord with a wristband.
Your Personal Help Button uses an indicator light to show the status of its internal battery. While
your Personal Help Button is being pushed, the light on the Personal Help Button is green to indicate the
internal batteries are good. A red light indicates the internal batteries are becoming weak. In between use,
the internal batteries can rejuvenate. As a result the light may not be red the next time your Personal Help
Button is activated. When the light is red most of the time, your Personal Help Button should be replaced
within six months.
When any learned Personal Help Button is activated within the effective operating range, the
VRI400 will automatically dial the Response Center. Within seconds, a professionally trained and friendly
Care Assistant will speak to you through your VRI400. If help is needed, the Care Assistant will call
responders from the Responder List that you provide.
4.1 Additional Personal Help Buttons
Your VRI400 is supplied with one waterproof Personal Help Button. In homes where more than
one person wishes to wear a Personal Help Button, or you wish to have additional buttons, you may ask
your Service Provider to supply you with up to eight buttons.
If you are using more than one Personal Help Button, you have the choice of using the same
Responder List for all buttons or having a separate Responder List for each button. The Response Center
will know which Personal Help Button was pressed and will call responders from the Responder List that
you provided which is associated with that Personal Help Button.
Your VRI400 is designed to provide for your peace of mind and comfort within the privacy of
your home and yard. The signal from the Personal Help Button is limited by various factors and
may vary from home to home. It is your responsibility to know the effective operating limits of
your Personal Help Button and to use it within these limits. Please contact your Service Provider
for additional information.
