FCC Notices.............................................................................11 HomeFree Systems Ltd VST 800 User Manual 2 1. Foreword The Personal Watcher (VST 800) is a wristwatch, which contains an integral transmitter. The transmitter is transmitting identification signals, which are used to either locate the client’s location within an area covered by a local positioning system, or monitor his/her location and movement status at home. The Personal Watcher enables the user to send a distress alarm signal with a simple press of a button. The Personal Watcher (VST 800) is transmitting on an American FCC tested and approved frequency, whereas the European version (VST 800-2) is transmitting on an European tested and approved frequency. From a user interface and function point of view the two models are identical; therefore this user manual serves both versions. HomeFree Systems Ltd VST 800 User Manual 3 2. Installing the Personal Watcher Turn on the Personal Watcher by pressing the red ON button on the electronic key. Press the electronic key’s RED button down for one second - the red light turns steadily ON for two (2) seconds. If the startup command has been successfully received, the red light on the Electronic Key will flash for two (2) seconds. Note that if the transmitter has failed to receive the startup command the red light will turn off after the initial two (2) seconds ON. If the Electronic Key battery is low the red light will immediately flash for two (2) seconds, once the red button is pressed. (No command is sent to the transmitter). Place the Personal Watcher on its side, on a non-metal surface, for 30 seconds. Wrap the Personal Watcher’s strap around the wrist, as done with any wristwatch. Once the strap is closed, secure it by fastening the metal clip. If required, slip the strap holder to hold the lose edge of the strap. Note: An alarm signal is sent to the central monitoring computer whenever the strap is open, cut, or the Personal Watcher is removed from the wrist without opening or cutting the strap. HomeFree Systems Ltd VST 800 User Manual 4 3. Setting Time To set the Personal Watcher’s time: 1. Pull the knob, positioned at 3 o’clock (use a finger nail to apply an outbound pressure on upper side of the knob) 2. Turn the knob until the watch hands reach the desired position. 3. Push the knob back into its secured position. HomeFree Systems Ltd VST 800 User Manual 4. Triggering an Alarm 1. Press the 8 o’clock pushbutton for 2 seconds. 2. A red light is illuminated inside the watch, as a confirmation that your press has been registered. 3. A distress signal is immediately sent to the central monitoring system. An alert message is displayed to the nurse on the system’s monitor, and in parallel a message is sent to her pager. 5 HomeFree Systems Ltd VST 800 User Manual 6 • • • 5. General Rules for the Client The Personal Watcher is a waterproof wristwatch and there is no need to remove it when taking a bath or a shower. You can even wear it when swimming and diving in a swimming pool or taking a sauna bath. Turn the Personal Watcher’s transmission off when admitting to a hospital, either for a visit or for hospitalization, since the transmitted signal may affect other medical instrumentation.

VST 800 Home Arrest Tag Operational Description The VST 800 patient Tag is a wristwatch-like unit worn on the wrist of an Alzheimer patient. The Tag is a battery-operated unit. The tag comprises one Printed Circuit Board (PCB) which includes a RF transmitter module with an integral antenna, and a microcontroller, which controls its operation. The VST 800 has one RF channel. It is 318.0 MHz carrier with FSK modulated. The Tag is turned on and off by a nurse, using an electronic key which is temporarily attached to the tag strap. While turned-on the Tag transmits a 5mSec identification & status signal and then it stops transmission. As a life safety equipment the Tag transmits the next signal about 10 seconds after the last signal transmission – any interruption in the reception of the transmitted signal (which might indicate a lost Alzheimer patient) may put the patient life at risk – the central monitoring system sends an immediate alert to the nurse in-charge, which should take immediate actions to find the lost patient. If the patient is in distress, he may push a panic button, which is embedded in the wristwatch tag, thus triggering a transmission of a panic signal. The panic signal is comprised of three pairs of 5mSec transmissions (each pair contains one regular power transmission and one weak signal transmission), with 50-200mSec random interval between these six transmissions. Therefore, the panic alert transmission stops after 250- 1000mSec (5 intervals between the 6 transmissions X 50 to 200 mSec).
