Setup and Charging
SIM Card Installation
The SIM card is not included. You will need a Nano SIM card from your local mobile operator.
- Unscrew the back cover to remove it.
- Insert the activated Nano SIM card, ensuring it has sufficient credits.
- Replace the cover and tighten the screws.
Important Tip: Before inserting the SIM card, check if it has a PIN code enabled. If it does, use a mobile phone to disable the PIN code.
Charging Your Device
There are two primary methods for charging:
- Charging Base: Place the device onto the charging base. Connect the USB cable from the base to an AC adapter. The charging base light will illuminate during charging and turn solid when fully charged.
- Wireless Charging: A QI-compatible wireless charger can be used for convenient charging. The wireless charging pad is not included.
First-time Use Tip: Fully charge the battery for approximately 2-3 hours before the initial use.
Low Battery Warning: When the battery level drops below 20%, the device will send a low battery warning message via text or the companion app to your emergency contacts.
Device Operation
Switching On and Off
- To Turn On: Press the CALL button for 1 second. All LEDs will flash rapidly. The device can also turn on automatically when connected to a magnetic USB cable or placed in its docking station.
- To Turn Off: Press and hold both the side button (CALL button) and the SOS button simultaneously for 3 seconds until the LEDs turn off.
LED Indicators
The LED lights provide status information:
Cellular Signal Indicator (Green) ?
- Single flash rapidly every 3 seconds: The device has a stable cellular signal.
- Double flash rapidly every 3 seconds: The device is registered to the cellular network.
Positioning Indicator (Blue) ?
- Single flash rapidly every 3 seconds: The device has a latest location fix.
- Double flash rapidly every 3 seconds: The device is not fixing the latest location.
- Light Off: The device has no latest location fix.
Power Indicator (Red) ?
- Red ON (solid): Device has been fully charged.
- Red shows a double flash rapidly every 3 seconds: BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) is connected.
- Red Blinking Quickly: Battery power is lower than 20%.
- Red Off or blinking slowly: The device is charging.
Activating an SOS Alarm ?
When you need help, press and hold the SOS button for 3-4 seconds until you hear a voice prompt confirming activation. This initiates a sequence:
- A "help me!" text message is sent to your emergency contact numbers.
- Outgoing calls are made to these numbers.
Call Sequence Logic:
- If the device fails to connect to the first number, it will attempt to call the second number after a 10-second delay, and so on for subsequent numbers.
- During the call sequence, you can stop it or prevent a false alarm by pressing the SOS button again.
- The recipient of the call can also stop the sequence by pressing '1' on their mobile phone during a two-way conversation.
- Use the side buttons (+/-) to adjust the sound volume during a call.
Important Tips:
- Program Emergency Contacts: Ensure emergency contact numbers are programmed. A minimum of one number must be set, though up to ten can be authorized.
- Patience: Allow time for the call sequence. Delays may occur if phones are out of range or reach voicemail.
Getting a GPS Fix
For an initial GPS fix, use the device outdoors or near a window to allow it to connect with satellites. This may take a few minutes depending on your environment.
Making a Phone Call
To make a call, press the side CALL button for 3 seconds. You will hear a beep, and the device will dial the second number in your contact list (or the primary number if only one is set).
To end a call, press the SOS button. ?
Silent Mode Button
Double-click the silent mode button to turn off voice warnings. Double-click again to turn voice warnings back on.
Bluetooth Pairing
Place the device on the charging base for more than 30 seconds to pair them automatically via Bluetooth.

Regulatory Information
FCC Statement
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to two conditions: (1) it may not cause harmful interference, and (2) it must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Modifications not expressly approved by the responsible party could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in residential installations. It generates radio frequency energy and may cause interference if not installed and used as instructed. If interference occurs, users are encouraged to try measures such as reorienting the receiving antenna, increasing separation between equipment and receiver, or connecting to a different circuit. Consult a dealer or technician for assistance.
SAR Information Statement
This wireless device is designed and manufactured not to exceed emission limits for radiofrequency (RF) energy exposure set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines establishing permitted RF energy levels for the general population, based on scientific studies with safety margins. The Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of measurement for exposure. The FCC SAR limit is 1.6 W/kg.
Tests for SAR are conducted at the highest certified power level across all tested frequency bands. Actual SAR levels may be lower as the device operates at multiple power levels to conserve energy. Proximity to a wireless base station antenna generally reduces power output.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this Personal Mobile Alarm System, with all reported SAR levels evaluated as compliant with FCC RF exposure guidelines. The FCC ID for this device is 2AUMJEV-04-LTE.
The highest SAR value for this Personal Mobile Alarm System when tested for Front to Face is 0.635W/Kg. When worn on the body, the SAR value is 1.235W/Kg. These values may differ among phone models and positions but meet government requirements for safe exposure.
Additional SAR information can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) website at http://www.wow-com.com. In the US and Canada, the public SAR limit for mobile phones is 1.6 W/kg averaged over one gram of tissue, incorporating a safety margin.
Body-worn Operation
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations. To comply with RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance of 10mm must be maintained between the user's body and the handset, including the antenna. Third-party accessories like belt-clips or holsters should not contain metallic components. Body-worn accessories that do not meet these requirements may not comply with RF exposure regulations and should be avoided. Always use the supplied or an approved antenna.
