Accepted Answer

The base station should remain plugged in at all times. The EZCare Plus unit is equipped with a backup battery that lasts up to 24 hours. This back up battery ensures you remain protected, even in the event of a power outage.

Question 27

How does Fall Detection work?

Accepted Answer

Fall Detection units use three pieces of technology to determine a fall:

Combined, these measure the rate of acceleration and deceleration of movement with altitude and direction of movement to determine if a fall has taken place. This identifies a fall compared to the motion and direction of someone just sitting down.
 
After the motion of a fall, the device will wait 8 seconds before determining the motion was a fall. If there is no movement in these 8 seconds, the device will let the user know a fall has been detected, and that the alarm can be cancelled by pressing the button if it was a false detection. If no button is pressed, an alarm will go to the central station. 
 
Please note, no device is able to detect 100% of falls. Therefore, in the event you experience a fall and require assistance, please still press the button on your medical alert device if you are able.

Question 28

Why is the monitoring station calling to tell me my battery is low?

Accepted Answer

If the EZCare Plus becomes unplugged and the back up battery loses power, the monitoring station will call you to make sure you are aware that it is losing power. Check the power connection on the unit and verify the red light on the far right of the device is on, indicating the device is receiving power.
