v9.5 FreedomAlert

We highly recommend that you perform this System Check at least
twice a month to confirm that your system is working properly
and that the pendant and base unit are in good communication
and that the base unit can get a dial tone. It is also recommended
to perform this system check after a lightning storm that could
damage the base unit which is plugged into the phone line.
Emergency Dialing Using the Pendant:
In the event of an emergency, press the blue panic button on the front of the
Pendant. When this button is pressed for more than 1 second, the Freedom-
Alert will automatically start dialing from the list of numbers.
If set to the “911 only” mode, then the 911 emergency operator will be called.
When the emergency response operator answers, speak in a normal voice
and you will be heard.
If set to the “Friends only” mode - the system will dial the first telephone
number in the list. If no one is available for that number, it will dial the
second number, etc - until it gets to the end of the list. It will then repeat
from the top of the list.
If set to the “Friends and 911” mode - the system will dial the first telephone
number in the list. If no one is available for that number, it will dial the
second number, etc - until it gets to the end of the list. After that, it will then
dial the 911 emergency operator.
Operating Range:
The operating range of your FreedomAlert will depend on many factors in-
cluding intervening walls, electrical interference or various appliances such as
vacuum cleaners, microwave ovens, mixers, coffee grinders, hair dryers and
other sources of electrical noise around the house. The system should cover
your typical home and a short distance into the front, side and back yards.
Perform the System Check on page 17 to determine the boundries of your
system to know the limits of operation in your home and surroundings.
