Turning Fall Detector on starts activity monitoring for falls. Fall monitoring can be set to monitor for big falls only, or for big and small falls. Please tap on the “Fall Detector” feature on the home screen to select the fall sensitivity. Like Worker Down, you may turn fall monitoring on and off at any time.
A big fall is from the 4th rung of a ladder or higher, or a fall from about 4 1/2 feet.
A small fall may be detected from a standing or sitting position. A small fall looks for up to 10 seconds of inactivity, after a fall, to see if you are able to move and get up. If there is movement that indicates the person may be OK, the fall alarm may be automatically dismissed.
