Introduction – About SoloProtect ID SoloProtect ID is the only lone worker device specifically designed as an identity card holder designed to  be  easy  to  wear  and  discreet  to  use.  Containing  mobile-phone  (GSM)  technology,  the  device enables  a  24/7  link  to  a  dedicated  state  of  the  art  Alarm  Receiving  Centre  in  the  event  a  worker requires assistance. At the push of a button, a trained SoloProtect ARC Operator is listening to an abusive or violent situation on your behalf, and recording audio for future use if necessary (admissible evidence in court proceedings etc). The call handler will then escalate the situation in line with what is an appropriate response - including alerting Emergency Services more efficiently than a 999 call (one level higher, via a URN direct into a regional Police control centre). 1.1 About This Guide This user guide provides all the information you need to set up, operate and take care of your SoloProtect ID. This document will detail:    SoloProtect ID Layout and key functions   Initial Set Up and Care and Maintenance   Detail the functions of SoloProtect ID   Technical Specifications   Warranty

Initial Set Up and Care and Maintenance 3.1 Initial Set Up 3.1.1 What’s included The box containing your SoloProtect ID includes the following items: •  SoloProtect ID •  Quick Reference Guide •  Lanyard with Lanyard rip plug pin attached •  Lapel clip • Charger (including your country’s adapter) 3.1.2 Installing the Lanyard or Lapel Clip You install the lanyard pin in the corner circled attaching the pin to the longer part of the lanyard.  The shorter  part  of  the  lanyard  loops  into  the  opposite  corner  for  landscape  ID  card,  or  loops  into  the corner below for a portrait ID card. The attachment in the circled corner is by way of a plastic pin which fits tightly in its socket but will pull out if tugged firmly.   Figure 2: Inserting the Lanyard The pin provided fits in the socket one way only. The pin is held in place by a magnet and pip and the pin will ‘click’ into its correct location in the socket.
DISTRIBUTION: INTERNAL + SOLOPROTECT CUSTOMERS SoloProtect ID US: User Guide US SoloProtect ID User Guide v2.0 d1909189  © SoloProtect Ltd, 2018  Page 9 of 31  Figure 3: Lanyard PIN  If you do not want to use the lanyard, you can attach a lapel clip as per Figure 2. If you are not using the lanyard, you must still insert the pin into the socket in the corner circled to prevent dust or dirt from entering the socket and to ensure the Rip Alert is not activated. The lanyard is made of one long piece and one short piece joined by a clip.  The lanyard pin must be attached to the long piece. Thread the fine loop at one end of the lanyard part way through the attachment hole in the pin. Thread the other end of the lanyard through the loop of cord that has passed through the hole in the pin. Pull the lanyard tight so that the loop of cord is snug around the pin.    Insert the lanyard pin into its socket highlighted in Figure 2 and Figure 3. 3.1.3 Initial Charge of your SoloProtect ID Your SoloProtect ID must be fully charged before you attempt to use it to condition the battery fully. We recommend  leaving the device on  charge for a  minimum  of 2  hours the  first time it  is charged using the SoloProtect supplied charger. 3.1.4 Inserting your ID Card Fit your ID card into the slot at the right side of your SoloProtect ID (as you look at the front) and slide it in until it is fully inserted. To remove your card, slide the ID card towards the exit slot.  You may initially feel a slight resistance until the card starts to slide out. The  front  of  your  SoloProtect  ID  is  shown  below.  With  the  ID  card  slid  out,  you  can  see  the multifunction user buttons.

However, you should note the following points about cleaning and general care. 3.2.1 Cleaning Use a damp cloth (not wet) to remove any dirt from your SoloProtect ID. Be very careful not to allow water into the unit. Do not use any alcohol or chemical cleaning agents of any type. 3.2.2 Moisture Resistance SoloProtect ID is not waterproof and you should take care not to expose the unit to liquids of any kind, including water, rain, steam and extreme humidity. 3.2.3 Impact Damage SoloProtect ID is made from a tough ABS plastic case.  It is designed to resist a certain amount of damage caused by general use, but will not withstand heavy impacts.

How to Use your SoloProtect ID 4.1 Functionality 4.1.1 Charging Your SoloProtect ID must be fully charged before you use it. We recommend leaving the device on charge for a minimum of 2 hours per day or at the end of each shift using the SoloProtect supplied charger.  Your SoloProtect ID cannot be used whilst on charge, however once removed from charge it is automatically turned on and ready to use. When your SoloProtect ID is connected to the charger, the battery symbol on the display is active.  As the battery charges, the battery symbol shows more cells and the LEDs change colour from flashing red, to flashing amber. When the battery is fully charged, the LEDs change to constant green.  Figure 5: Charging your SoloProtect ID  4.1.2 Switching your SoloProtect ID on and off To check your SoloProtect ID is on, look for the power symbol in the left of the display.  You can also press the Device Check button for 2 seconds. If the LCD and LEDs do not start flashing, the device is off. To switch your SoloProtect ID on, press the Device Check and Amber Alert buttons together for 2.5 seconds  until  the  LCD  and  LEDs  start  flashing.  The  device  vibrates  once  briefly  to  confirm  it  has turned on, and then will go through its bootup sequence which also includes 5 further buzzes as well as  displaying  all  the  LED  colours  and  all  the  LCD  symbols.  You  will  also  hear  beeps  out  of  the speaker. To  switch  your  SoloProtect  ID  off,  press  the  Device  Check  and  Amber  buttons  together  for  2.5 seconds until the device vibrates twice.

If either of the LED colours are red, you should not rely on your device in an emergency. When the battery symbol has only  one cell remaining  (and has an  amber  LED colour),  you should recharge your device as soon as possible. If your SoloProtect ID is consistently indicating Low to Critical Signal, please contact our SoloProtect Customer Support Team. If your SoloProtect ID is in an Amber Alert* state or a Red Alert state when the Device check button is pressed, the LEDs change to amber or red for two seconds to give an indication of the state: •  Constant amber for two seconds indicates an Amber Alert is in progress. •  Constant red for two seconds indicates a Red Alert is in progress – the Alert symbol will be on the display throughout the alert. Please  note for GNSS enabled devices  you  will see a blue  Satellite  Icon at the end of  the Device Check – please refer to the GNSS Section of this manual for further details. *Amber Alert is known as a ‘Status Check’ in the USA and Canada

The more relevant information you leave in this message the more it will help the ARC Operator in the event of a subsequent Red Alert.  Press the  Amber Alert button for at least 1.5 seconds to start an Amber Alert. Your SoloProtect ID gives three short vibrations to confirm your action.  Figure 8: SoloProtect ID Amber Alert (Status Check in the USA and Canada) The LEDs show constant amber while the call is being connected and then turns to flashing amber when the call connection has been made. The flashing amber LEDs are the prompt to start your voice message.  The  device  will  vibrate  once  when  the  LEDs  switch  from  constant  to  flashing  to  aid indication that the call is now connected. Ten seconds before the end of this call period, the LEDs change back to constant amber to warn you that the call period is soon ending. When the voice call period ends, the LEDs go out.  **When you start the Amber Alert, the device attempts to dial, to allow your voice message to be left. If the voice call cannot be connected, it will retry connecting the call a number of times.  If your call fails to connect after the retries then your SoloProtect ID will let you know by giving one long vibration. **If  you  experience  this  behaviour  consistently,  please  contact  our  SoloProtect  Customer  Support Team. *** SAR has been evaluated with a maximum SAR value reported of 0.59W/Kg @ 10mm separation from head.

Your options when in an Amber Alert Timer period are to cancel it, to extend the period, or to allow it to escalate into a Red Alert. •  You can press the Amber Alert button for more than 1.5 seconds to cancel the Amber Alert Timer period. This signifies that the potential danger did not arise, or that you are now away from  the  hazardous  situation.  Your  SoloProtect  ID  signals  confirmation  by  giving  two  short vibrations.  •  You can  quickly press  the Amber Alert button  twice for less  than 1.5  seconds  per press to extend the Amber Alert Timer period. The device gives a short burst of vibration to confirm the extension. The end of the extension period is signalled in the same way as the original Amber Alert Timer period and you can continue to extend for as long as you need. •  If you do nothing when the Amber Alert Timer period ends, with the implication that you were not able to take any action, your SoloProtect ID enters the Red Alert state.  You do not have to wait for the signalled end of the Amber Alert Timer period to cancel it or extend it. Pressing the Amber Alert button for more or less than 1.5 seconds at any time during the Amber Alert Timer period will cancel or extend the period, as described above. At the end of the Amber Alert Timer period, the device gives five long bursts of vibration to remind you to take action. *Check with your Employer or your SoloProtect Account Manger as to whether you have this function enabled. 4.1.6 Red Alert Activation methods A Red  Alert is a Voice call that can  be raised by you if  you feel in distress, danger or  if injured or seriously  ill.    Our  dedicated  ARC  Operators  listen,  monitor  and  escalate  to  Emergency  Services  if required.
DISTRIBUTION: INTERNAL + SOLOPROTECT CUSTOMERS SoloProtect ID US: User Guide US SoloProtect ID User Guide v2.0 d1909189  © SoloProtect Ltd, 2018  Page 17 of 31 There are 4 ways to activate your Red Alert: 1.

DISTRIBUTION: INTERNAL + SOLOPROTECT CUSTOMERS SoloProtect ID US: User Guide US SoloProtect ID User Guide v2.0 d1909189  © SoloProtect Ltd, 2018  Page 18 of 31 When any Red Alert is started, your SoloProtect ID gives three short bursts of vibration to confirm the state.  Your  SoloProtect  ID  opens  a  voice  call  to  our  Alarm  Receiving  Centre  and  enables  the microphone, so that our ARC Operators can listen to and/or record the situation. During an active Red Alert call, your SoloProtect ID will periodically vibrate like a heartbeat (two short pulses, repeated for the duration of the call) This is to provide reassurance to you that the call is active and open, and that someone is listening to and/or recording events. If a Red Alert call is closed  accidentally then your  SoloProtect ID allows our ARC Operators to dial back into your device discreetly, you will feel 5 short buzzes. This gives reassurance that the Red Alert situation is again being monitored. Additionally, our ARC Operators will be able to talk to you via the loudspeaker in your device.  They will only communicate with you if you make a verbal request to them instructing them to talk.  At all other  times  our  Arc  Operators  will  not  speak  to  maintain  the  discreet  and  covert  nature  of  your SoloProtect ID. **When you start the Red Alert, the device attempts to dial. If the voice call cannot be connected, it will retry connecting the call a configured number of times.  If your call fails to connect after the configured amount of retries then your SoloProtect ID will let you know giving 1 long vibration. **If  you  experience  this  behaviour  consistently,  please  contact  our  SoloProtect  Customer  Support Team. *Amber Alert is known as a ‘Status Check’ in the USA and Canada 4.1.7 Incapacitation Alert (ManDown)* SoloProtect ID detects tilt, and non-movement in combination.  Typically if tilted and motionless for a period of 2 minutes (standard set-up), the unit will enter a pre-alarm phase and start to vibrate in order to make the user aware the device is going to alarm if left unchecked. If the device is not moved for a further 2 minutes, then it will automatically raise an Incapacitation Alarm and contact our ARC.  When your Incapacitation Alert is started, your SoloProtect ID gives three short bursts of vibration to confirm the state. Your SoloProtect ID opens a voice call to the designated number and enables the microphone, so that our ARC Operators can listen to and/or record the situation. During an active Incapacitation call, your SoloProtect ID will periodically vibrate like a heartbeat (three short pulses, repeated for the duration of the call) This is to provide reassurance to you that the call is active and open, and that someone is listening to and/or recording events. If an Incapacitation call is closed accidentally then your device allows our ARC Operators to dial back into  your device discretely,  you  will  feel  5 short  buzzes.  This  gives reassurance  that  the Red Alert situation is again being monitored. Additionally, our ARC Operators will be able to talk to you via the loudspeaker in your device.

The GNSS location operation will not work whilst the unit is indoors.  4.1.10 Multifunction Buttons – UK* The 3 multi-function buttons on the front of the device are usually covered by your ID Card.  These buttons are not designed for discreet use or to be deployed as part of a situation where you require assistance due to your safety being compromised. Your SoloProtect ID can be configured so that 3 buttons underneath the ID card can be used to: •  Make a non-emergency phone call to a pre-defined phone number when you press a button •  Send a non-emergency SMS to a pre-defined phone number when you press a button •  To log to a SoloProtect Mobile Management Platform (MWM)* *MWM - please contact your Business Development Manager for more details of this service For example, these buttons can be programmed to let a Manager or authorised person know you have returned safely home after a shift or you have arrived safely at a visit.

However, the general recommendation is to maintain at least 15 centimetres between a GSM-based device and a pacemaker. If you are in any doubt, seek advice and clarification from your physician and/or the manufacturer of your specific pacemaker. Numerous  studies  have  been  performed  to  assess  the  risks  of  such  devices  impairing  the  correct functioning of pacemakers. There is a general consensus across the studies found in regard to the following: •  The degree of protection of pacemakers against the effects of RFEE depend on the design of pacemaker.  The latest pacemakers with ceramic filters appear to immune to RFEE.
DISTRIBUTION: INTERNAL + SOLOPROTECT CUSTOMERS SoloProtect ID US: User Guide US SoloProtect ID User Guide v2.0 d1909189  © SoloProtect Ltd, 2018  Page 28 of 31 •  Exposure to pacemakers of RFEE depends on the proximity of the mobile phone type device.  Recommendations  suggest  the  minimum  distance  between  pacemaker  and  mobile  phone type device to be in the range 10 – 20 cm. •  Exposure to pacemakers of RFEE depends on the RFEE emission levels of the mobile phone type device. •  The effects of interference due to exposure to RFEE in pacemakers are temporary.  Once the source of RFEE emissions is removed the pacemaker reverts back to correct functionality. •  Mobile phone based devices can potentially cause interference with pacemakers when in use on a call and when in standby, but not when turned off. •  Those at highest  risk  are individuals who are completely dependent on pacemakers (those individuals that cannot generate spontaneous cardiac rhythm). Part of the conclusion in the above mentioned testing is that due to its low SAR value ‘There is very low health risk for persons with cardiac pacemakers or other active medical implants’ Regardless, if in any doubt the wearer should seek advice from their doctor  or the manufacturer of their pacemaker. 5.4 Risks Associated with Pregnancy Referring to the previous statement above on Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). Due to the relatively low maximum SAR value, SoloProtect ID should not pose any risk to individuals whilst pregnant.  Any user of SoloProtect ID who registers any concern about using SoloProtect ID whilst pregnant should seek advice from their GP.’ 5.5 Use of SoloProtect ID in Restricted Areas As with mobile phones, should be in accordance with regulations, protocols and stipulations relating to the  specific  environment.  Where  the  use  of  mobile  phones  is  prohibited,  SoloProtect  ID  should  be turned off. There may be risks associated with interference with equipment sensitive to RFEE (such as aircraft,  hospitals  and  healthcare  facilities)  or  potentially  explosive  environments  (such  as  petrol stations and chemical plants). 5.6 Disposal and Recycling Information This product must not be disposed of as unsorted municipal waste.
