Features that support carers and people with higher needs
Locating:
If location is needed, text “LOC” and the pendant replies with a Google Maps link.
You can also locate the device via the optional mobile app.
GEO Fencing:
Set one or more safe zones.
When the pendant leaves the boundary, carers automatically receive an SMS alert.
Falls Detection:
When enabled, fall detection sends an SMS notification to all programmed contacts.
For more options, see our falls detection device guide.
Inactivity Monitoring:
If no movement is detected for a set period, the device triggers an alert unless it is sitting in the charging dock.
SIM Card and Programming
When we receive your purchase, we contact you to confirm programming requirements and obtain authority to activate your SIM card.
Your pendant arrives fully programmed with an active Telstra-managed SIM (retail customers) containing $66 credit on a 365-day plan.
Unlimited emergency SMS and voice apply under the acceptable use policy.
After the first year, we remind you to top up for another 365 days. The annual cost is currently $66*.
You may also supply your own SIM card; contact us to discuss pricing without the Telstra-managed SIM.
*Subject to change.
Smart Docking Station
The bedside docking station charges the pendant and announces “Your alarm is charging” when placed correctly.
The dock can also store a fixed location, which is used when an alarm is triggered at home.
This is especially helpful for apartment buildings where satellite GPS is less accurate indoors.
Lone Worker and OH&S Applications
This pendant is suitable for lone workers who require a simple, self-monitored duress option. More information is available via our dedicated OH&S version of this device.
