Good Vibrations Receiver
Model # GV 1097-2
General
The new Silent Call Good Vibrations
TM
, receiver is a body worn portable alerting device with vibrating and visual alerts. It is used in
conjunction with any Silent Call transmitter such as the telephone, doorbell, smoke detector and/or sound monitor. When this receiver
detects a signal from a Silent Call transmitter, it activates its vibrator with a predetermined output pulses for each type signal and
illuminates the associated top panel LED.
Operation
Switch the Good Vibrations receiver on by moving the power switch to the ON position. Notice that the Phone (green LED) will blink
3 times and go out indicating that power has been applied. The unit will then turn on the Fire LED and the vibrator pulse
continuous short pulses signaling the last alarm that was received as this is the factory default test used. These are a couple of
the distinguishing features of the new revised Good Vibration. Another is the pushbutton used for programming that replaced the dip
switch. Each time the Good Vibration receives a signal from a Silent Call transmitter with a matching code; the Good Vibrations
receiver will vibrate a particular type pulse and illuminate the associated LED. The LED indication will remain on until the vibrator
pulse pattern has been completed. Switching the On / Off switch from off to on activates the recall function which will turn on the
LED and send the vibrator pulses of the last transmitter alert the receiver received. The Good Vibrations receiver battery may be tested
by moving the power switch momentarily to the TEST position.
The Good Vibrations receiver is supplied with a rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride 9V battery. In normal operation, the unit will
function for approximately two to three days per charge. However, for the most reliable operation, recharge the battery each night
when you go to bed. Also, do not leave the unit on when you are not using it as the battery can be damaged by running it completely
down. Not all “9V” rechargeable batteries are the same, and we recommend you purchase replacement batteries from Silent Call.
Although it is not recommended, the Good Vibrations receiver may be operated with a standard alkaline battery. However, if you use
an alkaline battery YOU MUST NEVER ATTEMPT TO RECHARGE THE BATTERY. Doing so will cause the battery to burst and
destroy the Good Vibrations circuitry, voiding the warranty.

Programming
The Good Vibrations receiver can be set to respond to one or more different transmitter codes. Your Good Vibrations receiver and all
transmitters leave the factory already programmed for the factory default code. The Good Vibrations does NOT need to be
programmed unless you have changed the code on your transmitters. In that case, simply set all transmitters to a different code (any
combination of on and off positions except all on or all off), erase the code memory in the Sidekick, and then reprogram the Good
Vibrations receiver as follows:
