Many subscribers like the added safety and security
offered by the Inactivity Timer. This feature ensures
that the Response Center will automatically check on
you if you fail to reset your CarePartner Telephone
with Reminders each morning and night.This back-up
safety feature will send a call for help to the Response
Center and is designed specifically for emergencies
when you are unable to get to the telephone or
cannot press your Personal Help Button.
Reset the Inactivity Timer Every Day
When the Inactivity Timer is set, you must reset the
timer daily. Reset the Inactivity Timer by pressing the
yellow RESET button. Make pressing the yellow RESET
button part of your morning and evening routine.
Many subscribers reset their CarePartnerTelephone
each morning when they rise and each evening
when they go to bed. If you ever forget to reset the
Inactivity Timer, your CarePartner Telephone will
beep a 5-minute warning before calling the Response
Center. VoiceAssist will prompt you during the warning
period. If you do not need help, press the yellow
RESET button to silence your CarePartner Telephone.

Set the Timer Switch to the AWAY
Position When You Leave Home
If you leave your home for more than
a few hours, lift the TIMER switch up
to the AWAY position. This stops the
timer and assures that a false “inactivity
message” is not sent to the Response
Center during your absence. Placing the
TIMER switch to the AWAY position will
also suspend reminder messages. Push
the TIMER switch back to the down
position when you return home.
