Personal Locator User Guide version 1.0 Wherify Wireless, Inc 8 1.3.8 Locking/Unlocking the Locator The Locator is designed to be locked onto the wearer’s wrist. Perform the following steps to lock or unlock; 1. Ensure the Locator has been subscribed (shows time of day on display) and that the actuating fob is authorized (up to five fobs can be authorized, check with the CMC to program the Locator to enable a specific fob). 2. Insert the clasp strap into the latch. 3. Insert the fob into the Locator port. 4. Momentarily press the fob lock/unlock button. 5. If Locator was previously unlocked, it locks and vice-versa. Check the lock icon to ensure the proper action has occurred. Note that the CMC may also perform an unlock action if requested by the owner of the device. 1.4 Optional Subscription Features The optional features described in this section are remotely enabled/disabled by the CMC. If enabled a resulting alarm will be initiated by the CMC subject to the battery management described in “Battery Power Management” 1.4.1 Battery Alarm: The locator periodically measures the battery level and determines if the level is such that only minimal operation time remains. On determination, it informs the CMC of the low battery condition. This same low battery level is indicated to the user by a single bar in the battery icon. 1.4.2 Tamper Alarm: A tamper alarm is triggered automatically when the Locator detects the device has been tampered with. The tamper report is handled the same as for the panic alarm. Refer to “Issuing a panic alarm”. Note that the tamper alarm circuits are not enabled until the Locator is in a locked state. 1.4.3 Malfunction Alarm: The locator periodically runs a self-test. If a malfunction is detected it is reported to the CMC (if the nature of the malfunction allows the Locator to do so). Once reported (or if unable to report) the display momentarily shows an error message then powers the Locator powers itself down. DEVICE MALFUNCTION
Personal Locator User Guide version 1.0 Wherify Wireless, Inc 9 1.5 Battery Power Management: Reporting of information to the CMC by the Locator is the largest power consumption activity performed by the Locator. In order to preserve a minimal amount of power for the reporting of critical alarms (tamper and panic), a reserve energy threshold is programmed into the unit. When the battery level falls below this preprogrammed threshold all data and alarm reporting to the CMC is disabled except for the critical alarms.
