Safety Information

The Communicator must be placed in an indoor living area. 

If any phones are left off the hook, there will not be a dial tone 

and the Communicator will not be able to place a Help Call. 

This problem can be addressed by plugging the Communicator 

phone cord into an RJ31X/CA38A type jack, which your 

phone company may be able to assist you with.

Care should be taken to not block the microphone hole on 

the bottom of the unit when selecting the installation location. 

(For example, do not place it on a tablecloth.)

Make sure you do not plug your Communicator into an 

electrical outlet that is controlled by a wall switch, because 

someone could accidentally turn off the wall switch and shut 

off the power to your Communicator. 

Make sure your Communicator is away from any clutter or 

any object that might block its ability to receive a signal from 

the Personal Help Button.  The Communicator should not 

be placed on or near your refrigerator or any type of metal 

cabinet or bookcase, since this may limit the effective range of 

the Personal Help Button. 

This product cannot be used on party lines.

To reduce the risk of electrical shock or fire, do not place the 

Communicator in or near water or other liquids.

Do not abuse the cords. Never carry the Communicator by 

the cord or yank the cord to disconnect it from an electrical 

outlet. Instead, grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.
