To silence the alarm, press and hold the acknowledge button until the alarm is silenced (approximately 3 seconds). + +3. The LiveResponse confirmation light will continue to flash, signifying that an incoming call has been initiated. + +4. Once the call has been connected, the device will generate a long beep signifying the beginning of the two-way voice calling. + +5. In a noisy environment, it may be necessary to remove and hold the device near your face, as you would do with a two-way radio. + +6. Once the call is complete, the caller will end the call. +The device will trigger a long beep signifying the end of the call. + +7. The device user cannot end the call. + +8. The LiveResponse confirmation light on the device will go off once the call has ended. + +9. NOTE: during the call, the volume of the speaker can be switched to speaker and back to lower volume by pressing the acknowledge button once. + +### 5. Low battery notification + +1. If the battery level on the device drops below 20% capacity, the device will flash the charging light and beep once every 5 minutes. +Once the device battery is depleted, it will automatically shut down. + +2. This is considered an unsafe log off. +If the device is configured to require a periodic check-in, a low battery shutdown will not stop the timer and a missed check-in alter will be generated. + +## 4.
