Michelle SOS1. Emergency/authorized contacts

You may set up to fiveprogrammed numbers on the Personal Alarm. At least onenumber is required to be set. When the SOS button is pressed, all authorized numbers will receive a ‘Help Me’ SMS, and the device will dial (call) the authorized numbers in-order until someone answers.

Note: Some landline/mobile voicemail services can have up to 5 minutes of recording time. If the Personal Alarm reaches a voicemail service, it will not dial the next emergency contact until the voicemail session ends – because of this, we recommend that all emergency contacts should review their voicemail recording length, and reduce them to 10 or 20 secs to avoid unnecessary emergency calling delays.

Additional Fact

Pressing the non-emergency call button on the side of the Personal Alarm will automatically call the secondauthorized contact.

If the second number is not set, this function will not work.

Essential

A1,xxxxxxxxx

Set mobile number 1 OK!

A2,xxxxxxxxx

Set mobile number 2 OK!

A1,

Cancel mobile number 1 OK!

TZ-05

2. Set time zone

The Personal Alarm works all over the world, so you need to tell it where you are located, so it displays the correct timestamps when location information is sent.

The time is offset from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)

Set time zone OK!

Additional Fact

Unfortunately the Personal Alarm cannot account for time zones that are not offset by a full hour.

(i.e. Central states and territories in Australia are +9.5 hours from UTC, so would need to set TZ+10 or TZ+09)

This is a device limitation and we hope to fix this function in future firmware release.

TZ+10

Set time zone OK!

Recommended

Note: Time zone command numerical values must be two digits (i.e. must be TZ-05, not TZ-5)

AGPS1,-27.1234567,135.9876543

4. Assisted GPS (AGPS)

Assisted GPS (AGPS) is the method by which the Personal Alarm determines its location when there is no connection to overhead satellites (i.e. when indoors)

This method is more commonly known as ‘triangulation’ and is determined by calculating the distance the Personal Alarm is from the closest three (or more) cellular towers.

This method however is less accurate than a position using GPS satellites.

Assisted GPS (AGPS)

To set AGPS, we recommend you take the Personal Alarm outside in clear view of the sky. Then send the LOC command to the device. This will return Latitude/Longitude coordinates that you can use in the command shown to the left.

ExampleIf the LOC command returns Lat/Lon of -27.1234567 and 135.9876543 then your AGPS command would be;

AGPS1,-27.1234567,135.9876543

Note: There are no spaces in this command

AGPS on!

Additional Fact

AGPS off!

AGPS0

The Personal Alarm uses satellite and cellular signals to determine its location, but uses the cellular network to transmit this information to your cell phone and to the online live-tracking website.

5. Turn LED’s on/off

You can also turn the LED’s on the side of the Personal Alarm ON and OFF depending on your preference.

LED’s

If you are using the Personal Alarm for surveillance purposes, it would be a good idea to disable the LED’s on the device.

LEDs off!

Additional Fact

LEDs on!

LED0

If you are not getting text replies from the Personal Alarm, try sending the command to turn-off the LED’s. If they turn off, then at least you know that commands are getting through to the Personal Alarm. This helps to speed-up troubleshooting and to narrow-down the potential issue.

Optional

Note: Turning off the LED’s will restrict your ability to see if the Personal Alarm needs charging, or if the device is connected to the 3G network and overhead satellites. When contacting VisionOneGPS Support, please ensure LED’s have been switched back on, if previously been set to ‘off’

123456lock

7. Set Personal Alarm password

You can set-up a 6-digit password on the personal alarm, so that only the holder of the password can send commands to the device.

Once set, the Personal Alarm will only accept the commands with the password included (with the exception of the REBOOT and RESET! commands)

You may also change the default password to a 6-digit number of your own choosing.

Password Lock

If there is a chance that someone else knows the commands to changing the personal alarm settings, then it is recommended you enable the password lock on the device.

However in most cases only the authorized contacts know these commands, so it may not be a requirement for some.

Using the example above, when the password has been enabled, you will need to put the password in front of all commands. I.e. 666666LOC or 666666add

LOCK OK!

Additional Fact

UNOCK OK!

123456unlock

Changing your password will not enable the password on your device. So if you want to change the password, you will need to change the password, thenenable the password lock

I.e. You want to change your password to ‘666666’. First send the command 123456H666666, then 666666lock

To unlock, simply text 666666unlock

Optional

Note: Keep your password safe. If you lose this number, you will need to send the Personal Alarm back to the manufacturer to have this removed.

123456H666666

8. Disable/enable SMS alerts

Depending on your circumstances, you may wish to disable SMS alerts. The means that the Personal Alarm will transmit alerts to the online live-tracking website only.

If you have configured an email address on the live-tracking website, then you will receive an email alert instead of an SMS alert

Disable/Enable SMS Alerts

When SMS alerts are disabled, none of the pre-programmed authorized contacts will receive alerts.

To re-enable this function, just SMS the command SMS1 to the Personal Alarm

SMS alert cancelled!

Additional Fact

SMS alert enabled!

SMS1

The SMS alerts function is enabled by default.

When an alert is sent by the holder of the Personal Alarm, all authorized numbers receive an SMS alert, so it is important that all authorized contacts are aware of the SMS alert process.

We recommend some texting with everyone involved before using properly.

Optional

Note: Email alerts typically take a bit longer to come through, as these messages need to be routed through the live-tracking website and sent back to you, whereas an SMS via your cell carrier network is traditionally the quicker method in receiving alerts.

CALL0

9. Out-going calls control

Depending on your circumstances, you may wish to disable the Personal Alarm call function. This means that the device will not initiate a voice call to the authorized numbers when this function has been disabled.

When enabled, this function initiates calls to the authorized contacts when the SOS button is pressed, or if there is a fall detected.

Disable/Enable Voice Calls

When voice calls are disabled, none of the pre-programmed authorized contacts will receive a call when the SOS button or fall detection trigger an alert.

To re-enable this function, just SMS the command CALL1 to the Personal Alarm

Set call 0 OK!

Additional Fact

Set call 1 OK!

CALL1

Pressing the side call button will not trigger a call to all authorized contact.

Instead, a call will be placed to the second programmed number (A2) on the contact list.

This call will not trigger an SMS alert either, as the side call button is for non-emergency use.

Recommended

Note: The fall detection function must also be enabled for contacts to receive a call when a fall is detected

Speed1,100

2. Over-speed alert

When enabled, the over speed function detects the speed the Personal Alarm is travelling at. You can set a speed threshold, and when this speed is breached, all authorized contacts will receive a text alert.

This alert will contain the current coordinates of the Personal Alarm, its recorded over-speed value, and a Google Maps link to its current location.

Over-Speed Commands

The speed is calculated in km/h, and must be entered as either a 2 or 3 digits value (01~255km/h)

Examples (with km/h to mp/h conversion)

Speed1,64 (64km/h = 40mp/hSpeed1,80 (80km/h = 50mp/h)Speed1,96 (96km/h = 60mp/h)Speed1,112 (112km/h = 70mp/h)

Set over speed alarm OK!100Km/h Current Speed: 0Km/h

L1

7. Listen-in

When enabled, all authorized contacts can make a silence call to the Personal Alarm. The device automatically answers the call and allows the caller to hear the surrounding environment.

There is no voice indication that the call is in progress, however due to wire-tapping laws, the device does vibrate before it connects.

This is a one-way voice connection, so if the caller speaks, no sound will be emitted from the Personal Alarm.

Enabling Listen-in

To enable, SMS the command L1 to the Personal Alarm.

Then, to listen-in, simply call the cell number assigned to the Personal Alarm and wait for it to auto-connect.

To disable the Listen-in function, SMS the command L0 to the Personal Alarm.

Listen-in on!

Additional Fact

When the Listen-in function is enabled, an authorized contact will not be able to initiate a 2-way voice call with the Personal Alarm

However, if the Personal Alarm initiates a call when Listen-in is enabled, a 2-way call is always made.

So when not in use, it is recommended to have Listen-in disabled.

1. Enable/disable GPRS

GPRS is a wireless data service that allow you to send information across the mobile phone network.

GPRS needs to be enabled to send location coordinate information to the live-tracking website, so that it may be presented on your online account.

Enable/Disable GPRS

To enable GPRS, SMS the command S2 to the Personal Alarm

To disable, SMS the command S0 to the Personal Alarm

Note: GPRS is enabled by default, however it is always a good idea to re-enable this setting as part of the online configuration.

GPRS on!

Additional Fact

How much data does the device use?

The device only needs to send binary location information, so only uses bytes and kilobytes of data at a time (which is very small)

In theory, if the device were to have all functions enabled and used to capacity for one month, we would estimate no more than 20~100mb of data being used.

4. Set Time Interval

Time interval is the frequency that your Personal Alarm sends location data to the live-tracking website.

The lower you set your time interval, the more frequently the online live-tracking is updated, meaning it provides you with more accurate real-time location information.

Set Time Interval

The Time Interval command is;

TIxxS/M/H

TI = Time Intervalxx = Numerical values (must be 2-digits)S = SecondsM = MinutesH = Hours

ExamplesTI30S (Time Interval 30 Seconds)TI60S (Time Interval 60 Seconds)TI01M (Time Interval 1 Minute)TI45M (Time Interval 45 Minutes)TI02H (Time Interval 2 Hours)

Set updating time interval OK!

Additional Fact

The lowest frequency you can set on the Personal Alarm is 30 Seconds.

This means that your device will provide location information to the live-tracking website every 30 seconds.

The GPS tracking pin on the mapping application will therefore move and update every 30 seconds.

Essential

Note: Increasing the frequency of updates will increase the demand on the battery, meaning the battery will deplete quicker when the time interval frequency is high. I.e. Every 30 seconds will drain the battery quicker compared to every 2 minutes.
