Questions and Answers Q: What happens if the power goes out? A: Should your power be interrupted, the base unit has a maintenance-free, built-in back-up battery that will operate your system for up to 12 to 20 hours. Before you battery runs out of current, the base unit will send a "low battery" signal to the home medical monitoring center to warn that the unit will soon be nonfunctional. An ADT Monitoring Specialist will then call you to advise you of the low-battery condition and answer any questions.
Q: What if I am on the phone when I need to use my pendant? A: If you are on the phone connected to the unit, the system will disconnect your call and send the emergency signal. If other phones in your house are in use, then the system will continue to attempt to dial the monitoring station eight times. If at the end of this calling sequence, the unit has still failed to communicate, a high-pitched tone will be emitted alerting the customer that it has failed to communicate.
Q: Is there a more fail-proof method of communication? A: Yes, for an additional charge, you can have your local phone company or ADT Companion Services install a jack that allows for total line seizure. If any phone is off the hook, or ringing, the unit will still communicate by disconnecting all phones on the premises and then dialing the monitoring station.
Q: Does the pendant work from my mailbox or while gardening? A: The range of the transmitter varies depending upon the location of the base unit and the outside construction materials of the home. In most cases, the unit will operate up to 300 feet from the base unit.
Q: How long is a typical agreement? A: The agreement is for a one-year term. We extend special consideration for life-changing circumstances.
Q: Who does the installation? A: If you elect to have one of our people place the unit, it will be done by an ADT service technician.
Q: How often does the unit need to be serviced? Who will provide the service? A: The unit needs no regular servicing. The unit has self-diagnostic features that alert the home medical monitoring center if there is a problem. Usually whomever placed the unit will replace it if there is a problem.
Q: Should I test the unit periodically? A: Yes. The unit should be tested at least monthly. Unit test instructions are included in the information presented with the unit.
Q: How large is the pendant? A: The unit is very small and lightweight and you can select either the necklace or the wrist-strap model.
Q: Can I wear it in the shower? A: Yes. The transmitter is waterproof and designed to operate in the shower.
Q: Does this product come with a guarantee/warranty? A: Yes. The product comes with an unconditional warranty on parts, labor and service. You will never be charged for repairs to the unit unless the unit or transmitter is lost.
Q: What happens if I drop it? A: If you happen to drop the unit, you should follow the test procedure immediately to ensure the unit is working properly. If it is not, the unit will be replaced at no charge. |
