Connecting Your Lifeline Medical Alert Service

Your communicator connects to Lifeline using a wireless network, so no phone line or additional wireless equipment is required. New customers should set up the Lifeline Service using the Quick Setup Guide included with the product and should refer to the User Manual for important information.

Before you can use your system, your communicator must be properly set up, and the coverage range of your help button must be determined for your Lifeline Service. Please see the Quick Setup Guide for instructions on how to set up your system and test the coverage range of your Help Button or follow the steps outlined below. If you have any questions, please contact Lifeline or your representative.

NOTE: In order for the Lifeline service to work properly, you will need access to a working power outlet (not controlled by a wall switch).

Connecting your Lifeline service

  1. Press the flashing orange MESSAGE button located on the top of your home communicator when you are ready to continue.
  2. Press the GRAY personal help button on your necklace or wristband as you go from room to room. A flashing light on your HELP button indicates you have coverage in that room.
  3. Press the flashing orange MESSAGE button located on the top of your Home Communicator when you are ready to continue.
  4. Press the GRAY personal help button on your necklace or wristband to initiate your first call to Lifeline. A trained Lifeline Associate will answer the call to welcome you and answer any questions you might have.

Signal range test

  1. You should conduct a Signal Range Test during the initial installation if you move to a new home, and even if you ever move your home communicator to a different location within your home.
  2. Make sure that your home communicator is ON and that you have your personal help button in hand.
    PRESS and HOLD DOWN the Message button.
  3. The home communicator will beep and announce: “Continue to hold the Message button for AutoLearn. When you are ready for Range Test, please release the Message button.”
  4. Release the Message button.
    The home communicator will announce: “Please press the flashing orange Message button after you have completed the range test. Begin Signal Range Test.
  5. Press your personal help button.
    The home communicator will beep and the light on your personal help button will flash green to indicate that the home communicator has received the signal.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you select professional installation service, a Lifeline home service representative will schedule an appointment with you to install your in-home communicator, test your help button and answer any questions you may have. The visit usually takes less than an hour.

You can set up the in-home communicator in your new space yourself or have our professional installation service take care of it for you. Just make sure you let us know a few weeks prior to your move so we can update your profile and make sure your Lifeline service is transferred.

HomeSafe with AutoAlert is designed to be easy to use. If you choose professional installation, the installer will carefully explain the medical alert system so everyone understands how it works. You may also refer to the User Manual.

If you need help later, simply press your HomeSafe with AutoAlert help button. It will connect you to a Response Associate who can answer any question you have—even if it’s not an emergency.

Your HomeSafe with AutoAlert communicator contains a highly sensitive speaker and microphone to make sure you and the Response Associate can hear each other even if you’re not near the communicator. But if you can’t hear it or answer the call, we’ll immediately follow up according to the instructions in your profile.

Typically you can be in another room or on a different floor of your home. We’ll instruct you how to test your help button’s range to see if it works outside on your porch, in your garden, or elsewhere around your home.

We encourage you to press your help button, worn as either a pendant or wristband, once a month to ensure that the Lifeline system is working properly.

Take your Lifeline pendant and your in-home communicator with you if you are able. If you plug your Lifeline in-home communicator in a temporary location, call our Customer Service team at 1-800-635-6156 to let us know where you are located and how long you expect to be there. When you get home you should place a test call by pressing your pendant or the button on your in-home communicator when you return home. If your Lifeline equipment gets damaged, please contact us immediately upon your return home so that we can get new equipment shipped to you as soon as possible.

If you lose power, your Lifeline medical alert system will work for a limited time off of a backup battery. If your in-home communicator relies on a landline connection to send a help signal, your Lifeline in-home communicator will not function if your phone service goes down. When your power is restored, please test your system immediately to ensure it is working properly. If you cannot successfully complete a help call, contact our Customer Service team at 1-800-635-6156 as soon as possible so that we can assist you.
