Should I Test My Alarm Equipment Regularly?
Yes, regular testing is strongly recommended. By checking your devices monthly, you’ll ensure they’re working properly and ready in the event of an emergency.
Pendant: Press the button and tell the operator it’s a test. They’ll confirm and record the call as a routine check.
Falls Detector: Press the button to test it. You can also carefully drop the detector from waist height onto a soft surface (like carpet) to simulate a fall. Let the operator know it’s a test when they respond.
GPS Watch or GPS Pendant (Oysta Rio): Press the SOS button and confirm with the operator that it’s just a test to check connection and response time.
Peace of Mind: Monthly testing builds confidence and ensures your device is always ready to help when you need it most.
