Page 5 Setting up Your iHelp+™ Charge Battery Fully Before Using This Device Plug the wall adapter into a standard power outlet or power strip, and plug other end into the charging port. (Image of plug into power outlet and other end into charging port) The blue charging lights in a ring around the button on your pendant, will flash every 5 seconds, indicating that the unit is charging. The unit is fully charged when the blue lights stay illuminated, and no longer flash.Battery charge takes about 2-3 hours to complete. When you use your iHelp+™ unit for the first time, you must test your unit to ensure workability. The large grey button on the front of your iHelp+™ activates the system and automatically dials the emergency center. To test, simply press the large grey button for two (2) seconds and then release. (Image of finger pressing button)  You will hear the unit’s voice prompt say, ‘your emergency call is now being placed’.  If there is cellular network coverage and GPS signal coverage, and the unit is working properly, you will then hear, ‘your location has been determined’.  The unit will then connect, and you will hear the call center operator greeting you. Simply tell the operator that you are just testing your system at this time. NOTE: If you are not in an area with cellular service, the ring around the button on your iHelp+™ unit will flash green every ten (10) seconds. You will not hear ‘your location has been determined’ when the large grey button is pressed. In this case, you should to go to another area with better wireless network coverage and try testing your unit again. You will need to ensure that you have proper cellular coverage in the area you plan to use your iHelp+ device most often. (Image of pendant with blue lights illuminated) NOTE: In the event the unit is not working properly, but does have cellular network coverage, your iHelp+™ unit has a self-check system and will announce, ‘Unit IS NOT functioning. Please contact Customer Service.’ Please contact your dealer as soon as possible in order to resolve the issue. We recommend you test your iHelp+™ medical alarm on a weekly basis to ensure the unit is working properly.

In An Emergency In the event of an emergency, press the large greybutton on the front of your iHelp+™unit for two (2) seconds and release. (Image of finger pressing button on pendant with 2 seconds written above) When the emergency operator answers, speak in a normal voice and explain the nature of your emergency. There is no need to put the unit up to your ear unless you are having trouble hearing. There is no need to hold the unit up to your mouth. You will be clearly heard, even if the unit is an arm’s length away. Your iHelp+™ mobile medical alarm is a two-way device, which means that you can speak to the operator through the iHelp+™ unit and he/she will hear you; and the operator can speak to you and you will hear him/her through your unit as well. NOTE: IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENTAL, UNWANTED ACTIVATION, you can simply tell the operator that there is no emergency and that you DO NOT need help. NOTE: If you press the button but are unable to speak, the operator can still listen in for sounds of distress. If no voices/sounds are detected, the operator will dispatch help. Hold the iHelp+™ For the Best Audio The operator should be able to hear you if you are wearing the iHelp+™ unit on your arm or neck. However, for optimal audio, it is best to hold the iHelp+™ approximately 10 inches in front of your mouth. (Image of person holding pendant in position for best audio) Page 6 Using the iHelp+™ - Incoming Communication In the event the monitoring service needs to contact you, or reconnect a disconnected call, they will call your ‘protected’ unit number. Your iHelp+™ unit will ring and, to answer the call, simply press the largegrey button on the pendant for a half (1/2) of a second. You will then be able to speak and listen directly through the pendant. ‘Find Your Loved One’ Feature In the event a loved one wants to locate you, they can do so by texting the word ‘US’ (without quotes and not case sensitive) to your ‘protected phone number.’ The person requesting your iHelp+™ location will initially receive a confirmation text response, and after a brief period, will then receive a text message with a link. They will be able to click on the link, and their phone will display your location along with an address, if available. Your loved ones must have a smart phone equipped with texting and Internet service to utilize this service. (Image of someone texting US and then image of the display location) Fall Detection Automated fall detection will measure your sway, orientation, and impact with a surface. If the unit detects that you have fallen, it will automatically call the monitoring center to report the fall. If you are unable to speak, the operator will send help. If you would like to cancel the fall detection call, you have a twenty (20) second grace period in which you can cancel the call. Simply press the greybutton on the front of your pendant to cancel. If you have fallen, but you are okay, or you miss the grace period to cancel, simply let the operator know that you are okay.

This feature comes already programmed with your unit. If you would like to turn this feature off, you can do so by contacting your local dealer and requesting that they turn this feature off. Geo-Fencing There's always a risk that you or your loved one may not get to where they need to go. Maybe they are hurt or lost or even confused and can't find their way. A geo-fence is a virtual border that you and your loved one create using the iHelp+™. If the iHelp+™ user crosses that border, you're instantly notified via text or email.(image of set-up for geo-fencing or image of notification that loved one stepped out of border set) Smart Charger and Remote Button (w Enhanced kit only) The wearable remote button enables you to 'dock' your pendant in the smart charger and wear a tiny, remote button in place of the iHelp+™ pendant. In order to use the remote button, simply place your iHelp+™ pendant in the smart charger (docking station). The remote button may be worn around the wrist or around the neck with the lanyard. In an emergency, simply press the remote button. This will activate the pendant in the docking station and call the monitoring center. There is a built-in speaker/microphone in the pendant which enables you to respond to the monitoring center and have a two-way conversation with the operator. The lanyard and wrist straps come in multiple colors and are available as an optional add-on accessory. Page 7 Wearing your iHelp+™ Your iHelp+™ unit should be worn at all times. You have the option of wearing it around your neck, on the attached holster, around your wrist, or simply carrying it in your pocket. (Images of pendant around the neck, on holster, on wrist, and in pocket) NOTE: It is advised, however, that if you are using the fall detection feature, that you wear the pendant on the holster or around the neck.
