Storage mode is an ultra low battery state designed to protect the life of the 
internal backup battery. The pendant is shipped from Inovonics in storage

significant period, it should be put in storage mode. The device will also go 
into storage mode at the next check-in transmission time if the coin cell 
battery has been removed.

Note: When the pendant is in storage mode, it will not transmit alarms or 
check-in messages.

Caution: Cleaning should only be performed with the battery door in place 
and in the locked position.

Cleaning should be performed by hand using a damp cloth and mild soap, 
or alcohol-free disinfectant wipes designed for household use.

The following products should never be used to clean the senior living 
pendant:

• Strong cleaning agents such as ammonia, bleach or alcohol.

chemical, gas or radiation techniques.

• Dishwasher or washing machine. 
• Soaking or suspending the pendant in water or other liquids.

Using any of these products or processes will damage the pendant. 

The plastic used for the pendant is durable and designed to withstand 
exposure to most common substances including soaps and skin lotions. 
However, there are some types of creams, lotions or sprays which contain 
chemicals that may dull the finish of the housing. These include insect 
repellents containing DEET, sunscreen and topical analgesics. If a resident 
is using these types of  products, they should avoid having the pendant 
come into direct contact with them.

UL has evaluated the EN1221S-60 senior living pendants to meet the water 
spray and submersion tests required under UL 2560, section 38. 
In addition, these pendants meet IP57 certification standards for dust and 
water ingress protection, ensuring that:

• Ingress of dust particles does not interfere with the satisfactory 

operation of the device.

• There is no harmful effect to the device caused by:

- Vertically dripping water when device is tilted up to 15° from normal 

position.

- Spraying water falling at angles up to 60° from vertical.
- Splashing water from any direction.
