Neck Cord Strangulation Risk
One advantage of the AutoAlert Help Button being worn as a pendant
is that the button is accessible by either of your hands. However, any
cord worn around the neck can pose a strangulation risk, including the
possibility of death and serious injuries. This may be of more concern
to wearers in wheelchairs, using walkers, using beds with guard rails, or
who might encounter other protruding objects upon which the cord can
become tangled.
• The neck cord provided on the AutoAlert Help Button is designed to
break apart under certain conditions to reduce the risk of strangulation.
If the neck cord breaks ask for a replacement.
• Do not use any other neck cord than the one provided by Lifeline.
Other neck cords may not provide the feature to break apart therefore
increasing the risk of strangulation.

The AutoAlert Help Button will not work when outside
the coverage range established on your campus.
• The AutoAlert Help Button is a radio frequency (RF) device that
transmits a signal to the CarePoint system on your campus which sends
a message to a staff member in your community who can respond. The
CarePoint system may provide coverage within your campus, and this
button can not summon assistance if you travel off the campus.
• The signal range may be affected by environmental factors, including
building materials, large masses covering the AutoAlert Help Button
(e.g., a person falling on top of ii), and submersion in liquid.
