A 3G compatible non monitored mobile personal alarm which enables the user to activate emergency SMS via an SOS button. When activated, up to 6 nominated contacts are sent an SOS text message. Each contact is dialled in sequence until the SOS is accepted. The pendant accepts incoming calls and allows 2-way conversation. Also includes two direct non emergency call buttons to two nominated contacts. Features include GPS locator, fall detection, geo-fencing, and auto answer. A voice announcement helps to check network connectivity. The device is water resistant for use in the shower. Professional monitoring is also available.
General Details
Caution: Emergency Call Systems - '000'
It is important to be aware that 000 calls from automated devices (such as emergency call systems) cannot be guaranteed a response from the emergency services if they are unable to validate the condition, address and required response. It is therefore not recommended to program 000 into a non-monitored emergency call system (or autodialling system).
Caution: Emergency Call Systems - NBN
The planned National Broadband Network (NBN), if built as proposed, will replace the existing fixed-line copper telecommunications network. Telephone based emergency call systems supplied by companies who are members of Personal Emergency Response Services Australia (PERSA) are expected to work correctly when connected to the NBN. Please be aware that battery back-up time on the NBN will only work for a few hours during a power failure. Please ensure that your NBN customer equipment is set-up correctly to work with your emergency call system and that the Retail Service Provider (RSP) that you have selected to provide your broadband can support that set-up. If the NBN is rolling-out in your area, call your emergency call system supplier before you sign any contract for the NBN service so they can assist you to select an RSP that is likely to support the continued operation of your emergency call system over the NBN.
