Pendant Alarms: A Quick Guide

Pendant Alarms are the perfect solution for elderly or disabled people living on their own. They offer unparalleled peace of mind with minimal intrusion. If you are worried about your own safety, or that of a loved one, a Lifeline Pendant Alarm is perfect for you.

How do Pendant Alarms Work?

A personal alarm pendant, despite its name, can be worn around the wrist or the neck. They are ideal for the elderly, disabled, chronically ill, or people who just need a little bit of reassurance to remain independent at home. Pendant alarms have been proven to be effective. Here’s how they work:

  • When the alarm user needs help, they activate the pendant they are wearing.
  • Our 24-hour monitoring centre will receive an alarm call straight away.
  • The Response Team will communicate with the alarm user over the alarm unit’s loudspeaker.
  • They will then send help in the form of family friends, neighbours, or the emergency services.

New Features

No Charging

When your pendant’s battery – which will last seven years – gets low, we’ll automatically receive a warning and send you a brand new replacement.

Waterproof Pendant

Our pendant alarms can be worn in the shower or bath – places where falls are very likely to occur. A waterproof pendant means that you are protected at all times.

Impressive 100m Range

The pendant alarm has a huge range, so the user can call for help throughout their whole home and garden, up to 100 metres away from the base unit.

MyAmie Pendant Alarm

The MyAmie is a small, discreet, and stylish pendant button, which can be worn in a variety of ways. It operates using the 869MHz European Social Alarm frequency, which means that it doesn’t interfere with other medical equipment.

The user can call for help in an emergency by simply pressing the red button on the pendant alarm, even if the base unit is out of reach or in another room.

Leading manufacturers Tunstall have developed a comfortable pendant that is half the size of the previous model, yet the red button is a third larger. The unique oval design allows the user to choose from a variety of wearing options, including a wide or a narrow wrist strap, a neck cord, a keyring, or a belt clip.

Home/Away Button (Yellow)

Please avoid pressing this button unless the Response Team directs you to. You will only need to use this button if you’re going to be away from your home for a long period of time.

Cancel Button (Green)

You won’t need to use this cancel button, even if you press your pendant alarm by accident. In the event of a false alarm, just let it ring through to our Response Team and let them know that everything is alright. They’ll be happy to hear that all is well.

Help Button (Red)

This button is the base unit’s version of your pendant button. Should you require assistance, you can press the red button to alert the Response Team. The Response Team will speak to you straight away over the loudspeaker.
