How to Use a Push Button as an Emergency Call Button
The Push Button is a Resident Device. The resident presses it to request help.
⚙️ How It Works
When pressed, a signal is sent to the nurse call system, creating an active incident. A notification is sent to caregivers, and the red LED light begins flashing to indicate a call has been sent.
- Press and hold the button for 8 seconds. The LED will flash when pressed and again after 8 seconds.
- Release the button after the second LED flash. (If you don’t see the second flash, you haven’t held it long enough.)
❓ Why Reset?
- Changes the incident status from “Active” to “Open.”
- Stops all caregiver devices from alerting for this incident.
