With your Personal Help Button around your neck, walk into one of the rooms in your home. d. Once you are in the room, press your Personal Help Button to see if the Base Station responds with a “beep”.

On the Base Station, press the Reset button. g. Repeat Steps 3b through 3e for each room in your home. Remember to include your bathroom(s) as well. h.

If the yellow light on your Portable Device has illuminated, the device’s location is known and no further action is required; you have completed the final step in the set up process. If the yellow light on your Portable Device has not yet illuminated, perform these following steps: a. Remove the Portable Device from the recharging cradle on top your Base Station. b. With the Portable Device in-hand, exit your home and, as you move toward an open area, check to see if the yellow light on the Portable Device has illuminated. (Tall buildings, for example, may hinder GPS detection.) c. Continue moving about an open area until the yellow light illuminates. While this process may take approximately 5-10 minutes, it only has to be performed once. d. Place the Portable Device “face out” in the recharging cradle on top your Base Station to ensure that Portable Device is fully charged before use.
