FAQs

Activate Emergency Alarm

You can call for help from either the medical Pendant or the medical Base Unit. To call for help:

Activate Alarm

  1. Press the pearl pendant for 3 seconds or the [HELP] Button on Eve to activate an emergency alarm.
  2. A loud pre-alarm will sound and the lights under the [HELP] button illuminate clockwise to indicate that an emergency activation is being sent.
  3. The monitoring centre will then phone the house and attempt to speak to the user over the handsfree speakerphone system built into Eve and organise assistance if required.
  4. When the operator ends the call, Eve will automatically hang up.
  5. If the connection to the monitoring centre is unsuccessful, then Eve retries 16 times, 30 secs apart, and then every hour.

Cancel Emergency Alarm

You can stop an emergency alarm being sent by pressing the [CANCEL] button during the pre-alarm stage which usually lasts 10-15 seconds.

Cancel an alarm

  1. Press the [CANCEL] key (during the pre-alarm stage only).

Power Down Medical Unit

You may need to turn off your medical unit in the event of a malfunction (where service or maintenance work has been arranged) to ensure it does not send false activations to the Monitoring Centre. You will need to contact the ambulance service (000) directly in the event of an emergency while the medical unit is off.

Power Down

  1. Hold the [ON]/ [OFF] button (located at the rear/top of panel) for three seconds.
    Eve will beep four times (with the final beep in a lower tone) and switch off.

NOTE: Eve can be turned off even when mains power is supplied.
