OPERATING YOUR MediPendant™
PENDANT FUNCTIONS
LED INDICATORS
Your pendant has two LED indicators on the front. These are used to indicate the
functionality of the pendant.
1. RED LED – This LED serves two functions:
a. Rapid flashing – When the RED LED is blinking quickly, it indicates that there
is telephone line trouble (RED LED on base station will also be blinking).
Check your telephone connections and/or page 19 TROUBLESHOOTING
b. Delayed flashing – When the RED LED is blinking intermittently (blinks for
approximately 5 seconds every 2 minutes ), it indicates that the battery may
need to be replaced. Run BATTERY/SYSTEM/RANGE TEST on page 16.

2. GREEN LED – The GREEN LED will illuminate after the LARGE ROUND GREY
M
BUTTON on the front of the pendant is pressed and the emergency call center is
Y
being dialed. It will remain illuminated until the call ends.

ACTIVATING YOUR SYSTEM:
MY
The LARGE ROUND GREY BUTTON on the front of
CY
the pendant activates the system and automatically
dials the emergency call center. The button is
CMY
recessed to avoid accidental pressing. The emer-
K
gency button must be depressed for a minimum of 3
seconds to activate the unit. Once the pendant says,
"Your emergency call is now being dialed, please
stand by," release the button. See Figure 12A
Once connected, you can speak directly with the call
center operator and explain the nature of your emer-
gency. If you press the button but are unable to
speak, the operator can still listen in for sounds of
distress. If no voices/sounds are detected, the opera-
tor will dispatch help.
NOTE:
IF SOMEONE IS USING THE PHONE THAT IS CONNECTED TO YOUR
BASE STATION AND THE EMERGENCY BUTTON ON THE PENDANT IS
PRESSED, THE BASE STATION WILL AUTOMATICALLY END THE NORMAL
CALL AND TAKE THE LINE FOR THE EMERGENCY CALL RIGHT AWAY. THIS
IS CALLED LINE SEIZURE.
NOT CONNECTED TO YOUR BASE STATION, THE PENDANT CAN NOT CALL
OUT OR CONTACT THE CALL CENTER. THE PENDANT CAN ONLY INTER-
RUPT THE CALL ON THE PHONE CONNECTED TO THE BASE STATION.
