READ THIS FIRST Some important notes about the A1UL PERS: 1. The A1UL PERS cannot be activated wirelessly in an emergency until a WTRB/WTRA is added to it s memory. 2. The effective range of any wireless device used with the A1UL PERS is 75m (246 ft). Note that different materials used in the construction of buildings can reduce the range of the device. 3. The A1UL PERS should be tested regularly to ensure it s continued operation. Test all wireless devices used with the system. 4. The WTRX and WTRB automatically detect when their batteries are low. They will automatically transmit a low battery signal to the A1UL PERS every 12 hours once a low battery is detected. Once this point is reached, the battery has approximately 30 days of use left. Contact your distributor immediately to obtain a replacement transmitter. 2. OVERVIEW The A1UL PERS (Personal Emergency Response System) allows users to easily summon for assistance during a medical emergency or for additional security reasons. Users have the option of using the wireless pendant and wristband transmitter or the large, red EMERGENCY button on the console to activate the A1UL PERS. When activated the A1UL PERS will audibly notify the user that an activation has occurred by playing the Emergency message. The A1UL PERS also dials the telephone number of the central monitoring station (CMS) programmed during programming by the installer. At the time of programming, the programmer/installer has the option of selecting Digital only transmission (Non-Voice) to the CMS, or the two-way voice operation. If the Digital (Non-Voice) option is selected the unit will, following activation by the user, contact the CMS (as programmed by installer) and, after successfully connecting with the CMS, disconnect and reset itself. Please contact your CMS representative for dispatch procedures following a Digital transmission. If two-way voice mode is selected, after the signal is received by the CMS, an operator from the CMS will communicate with the user via the speaker and microphone contained within the A1UL PERS console. The user need not push the transmitter button again or pick up the telephone to communicate with the CMS operator once the A1UL PERS has been activated. The CMS operator will
disconnect and reset the A1UL PERS, the user will not have to manually reset the unit. During a false activation, the user can press the green RESET button on the console at any time to cancel an emergency activation and reset the system to standby mode. G H I J K L There are several programming methods available for programming the A1UL PERS. To program locally using the programming port located on the back of the unit, a special programming cord is available. Using the cord, the A1UL PERS can be programmed via a standard telephone with tone capabilities. Optional software is available for programming. The A1UL PERS is also equipped with the ability to program remotely from a location other than the primary residence of the user. The programming cord is not required for remote programming. Please refer to the manual for complete programming instructions. Other features of the A1UL PERS include: inactivity timer to monitor the activity of the user and notify the CMS if no activity is detected for a specified period of time; temperature sensor to monitor the temperature of the home and alert the CMS is temperatures become unsafe; telephone line detection to alert the user if the telephone line is disconnected from the unit or not working properly; power sensor to alert both the user and CMS if AC power is not being provided to the unit; battery supervision for both the personal transmitter and console, the CMS will be notified if battery conditions are low. 3.
