  1. Plug in the Vital Link to an outlet that is NOT controlled by a light switch.

  2. The cord that is connected to the unit, plug that into the phone jack in the wall. It says Line on the back of the unit.  That is the line you want to connect to the phone jack.

  3. Take the plug coming out of your phone and plug that into the back of the unit where it says phone.

  4. Turn the On/Off switch located on the back of the unit to ON. You should now have 2 green lights lit up on your unit. One power light and one telephone light. Neither should be blinking. If any are blinking please call us at (800)752-5522 or (510)644-2779

  5. Once everything is hooked up, press your pendant and wait for the monitoring center to make contact with you. Your unit should ring 27-30 times before a operator comes on, once you make voice connection with the operator, tell them you are just doing a test.

Testing your Two-Way Voice Unit


Performing the Monthly Test:

Your Two-Way Voice Unit should be tested at least once a month to insure that all parts are functioning correctly.  Push the button on your pendant and wait for the monitoring center  to pick up.  When the operator asks if you need help, tell them that you are just  running your monthly test.

Back to:  Support for the Two-Way voice unit

To Test the Range of the Pendant:

Press and hold down the reset button on the back of the console for 5 seconds.  When the Power and Telephone lights begin to flash, the console is in test mode.

EMERGENCY CALLS CANNOT BE SENT DURING THIS TEST PERIOD

Press the button on your pendant.  Activate other transmitters that are part of your system.  Each time the console receives a signal, it will beep.  Move to different locations in your home where you might expect to take the Pendant.  Press the button.  If the console fails to beep, you've moved too far.  This will tell you how far you can go and still be within range of the console.

When you finish your tests, press the reset button to end the Test Mode.  The Test Mode will automatically end if no tests are performed for 3 minutes.

Troubleshooting


The Power and telephone lights on top of the console will both normally be on solid.  Other conditions indicated by the lights are shown in the table below.  Always call Bay Area Vital Link (800)752-5522 / (510) 644-2779 for assistance if you cannot solve the problem yourself.

Power Light is Blinking

1 Blink:

Console is operating on battery power only.  If there is not a neighborhood power outage, check that the transformer is plugged into the wall socket and that your home's circuit breaker has not been tripped.  Call Vital Link (800)752-5522 / (510) 644-2779 if you cannot find the problem.

2 Blinks:

Console backup battery is low.  During a power outage, you have 2 hours of battery power remaining when the blinks start.  If the blinks start while your AC power is On, the battery has failed in self tests -- Call Vital Link (800)752-5522 / (510) 644-2779.
