Medical Alert Bracelet and Pendant Transmitters Work During Power Outages in the Home

Medical alert bracelets are powered by long life lithium batteries they are not dependent on power from the house. Many falls occur during power outages for the elderly living at home. All seniors should rest assured that their medical alert systems including their bracelet or pendant transmitter will work just fine during a power outage for up to 24 hours.

Actually the medical alert bracelet battery is designed to last about 5 years or more without needing to be changed. Because these bracelets are meant to be worn in the shower and tub you can't actually change the battery in them. We simply send you a new help button transmitter if we receive a low battery signal and this is usually sent to us better than a month before the transmitter is no longer functional.

The pendant transmitters help button chain is actually made of plastic beads so that they will break away if you fall and get caught on anything. Otherwise, you may strangle. So don't swap out the plastic beaded chain for a gold necklace. The gold may look nicer but it could create a dangerous situation. Most people where the necklace under their blouse or shirt and the beads are clear colored and take on the flesh tones of your body.

The battery in the speaker box lasts for about 24 hours and is rechargeable. Therefore, as soon as the power to your house comes back on it will completely recharge. The speaker box also sends us a signal through the monitoring center to let us know that its battery is running low. You would be surprised at how many low battery signals we receive because someone has unplugged it from the electrical outlet to vacuum the floor or some other reason and has forgotten to plug it back in.

Another common reason that a speaker box loses its power is that it is installed on an electrical outlet controlled by a wall switch. Every time you turn off the lights you are depowering your medical alert device. This is a big no-no.

When you are plugging in the speaker box to the electrical outlet for mom or dad, make sure you don't plug it into an outlet behind a heavy piece of furniture that mom or dad can't get to.

Be very careful to properly install your medical alert and make sure to test it at least once a month.
