Classic Guardian – Best Practices

Button to Base Range

The base unit can detect a button press within a 1,300 ft range from the base device.  Help can still be sent if you aren’t able to communicate with the monitoring center and you are within 1,400 ft of the base device.   When testing, do not be within 5 feet of the device.  The button cannot be detected within 5 feet of the device.

Backup Battery

In the event of a power outage, the backup battery will run for 32 hours.  Once power is restored, the backup battery will recharge on its own.

Monthly Testing

It is recommended to test your base device, as well as any/all buttons, monthly to ensure they are working properly. Simply press the button and when you’re connected to the monitoring center, state that you are testing your device/button and no help is needed.  When testing, do not be within 5 feet of the device.  The button cannot be detected within 5 feet of the device.
