Neck
Cord Strangulation
Risk
One
advantage
of the
AutoAlert
Help Button being
worn as a pendant
is that the button
is
accessible
by
either
of your hands.
However, any
cord worn
around
the
neck can
pose a strangulation
risk,
including
the
possibility of
death
and serious
injuries. This may
be of more
concern
to wearers
in wheelchairs,
using
walkers,
using
beds with guard
rails, or
who
might encounter other
protruding objects
upon which the
cord can
become
tangled.
• The
neck cord
provided
on the AutoAlert
Help Button
is
designed
to
break
apart
under certain
conditions
to reduce the risk
of
strangulation.
If the neck cord
breaks ask for a replacement.
• Do not
use any
other neck cord than
the
one
provided
by
Lifeline.
Other
neck cords may
not provide
the feature
to break apart therefore
increasing
the risk of strangulation.

The AutoAlert
Help
Button
will not work
when outside
the coverage
range
established
on your
campus.
•
The AutoAlert
Help
Button is a radio
frequency (RF)
device that
transmits
a
signal
to
the CarePoint system
on your
campus which
sends
a message
to
a
staff member in
your community who
can respond. The
CarePoint
system may provide
coverage within your
campus,
and
this
button
can not
summon assistance
if
you
travel
off the campus.
• The signal
range may be
affected
by environmental
factors, including
building
materials, large
masses covering the
AutoAlert
Help Button
(e.g.,
a
person
falling
on
top of ii), and submersion
in liquid.
