ReliAlert™ Device Power-Up
Prior to the device power-up sequence, the 12 volt AC adapter must be plugged into the
device for two hours. This will charge the internal battery. A fully charged internal battery will
provide over 24 hours of usage.
To power-up the device:
1. Press and hold the Call Button.
The Indicator LED illuminates and an audio tone is heard after approximately fiv
e
seconds.
2. Release the Call Button when you hear the audio tone.
After a few seconds, listen for an “up waterfall” tone. This is the initialization of the
cellular module from within the device. Once the unit has successfully connected to
the cellular service, it will generate a “down waterfall” tone. This process may take up
to one minute.
The indicator LED will begin to blink green every five seconds to indicate normal
operation and battery status. If the internal battery is low the LED will blink red.
Once the device has connected to the cellular network, it is ready to receive GPS
information. Upon the power-up sequence of the device, the Amber LED light will
also blink in between the Green or Red blinks indicating battery status.
3. To obtain GPS, place the ReliAlert™ device outside, standing upright, in a
non-obstructed area with an open view of the sky for a period of 5-15 min
utes.
Once the device obtains its first valid GPS locate, the amber LED light will turn off.
The amber LED light only operates during the power-up sequence of the device.
