Instructions


Always wear your Cord-Mate Help Button when you are at home.  The Help Button will not work in an emergency if you can't reach it!

To call for assistance, aim the Help Button toward the pull-cord and press the button.  When you hear the buzzer, the cord has been pulled.  If you do not hear the buzzer, release the button and press again.

The help button is waterproof.  You can wear it when in the shower or bathing. 

Furniture placed in front of the activator may shorten the range of the Help Button.  Do not place large metal objects near the Activator.

Do not unplug the Activator.  Make sure the red light on the Activator is always on.  Notify the staff immediately if the light is not on.

The Help Button battery will last ten years or more.  The battery is not replaceable.  The year of purchase is engraved on the back.

Testing the Cord Mate


Test the help Button and the pull-cord Activator every month.  Notify the staff before testing.

To test, press the Help Button while in your protected area.  The buzzer should sound and the pull-cord should be pulled.  Verify with the staff that the alarm was sounded.

Test the help button from various locations both inside and outside your home to determine your protected area.  Its signal will pass through windows and walls.

Vital Link Testimonial
C. Hefner
(Tuscan, AZ)
“I have never had to use the Vital Link Medical Alert system since signing up 2 years ago. But it has been a relief for my family to know that I can reach help when they are gone. It also gives me peace of mind knowing help will arrive at the push of a button when I’m alone…P.S. Plus, it is a reasonable monthly charge.”
