About Libris 2®

Libris 2, a personal mobile responder, is cellular-enabled and designed to provide you personal emergency response services whether you are at home, away from home, and even in the shower or bath.

The Libris 2 device is available with the optional Numera service “EverThere®”, which allows the user, his/her family, or other support network to receive alerts for emergency events and track the user via GPS. Talk to your Service Provider about whether EverThere® service is right for you.

Libris 2 can be activated by:

Pressing the Libris 2 Call Button.
Detecting a fall while wearing the Libris 2 (if this option is enabled).

When activated, Libris 2 will automatically call and allow you to speak with your Service Provider response team and provide information about your location. Your Service Provider response team can then notify emergency services for you, if needed.

Important Safety Information

FOR PROPER OPERATION, LIBRIS 2 REQUIRES ADEQUATE CELLULAR COVERAGE! POOR CELLULAR COVERAGE MAY RESULT IN THE INABILITY TO PLACE A CALL OR AUTOMATICALLY DETECT A FALL!
Check with your Service Provider for known coverage limitations.

To reduce risk of strangulation, the Libris 2 Lanyard is designed to break apart under certain conditions. Any cord worn around the neck, however, can pose a risk of strangulation, including the possibility of serious injury and death. Libris 2 users and caregivers should exercise care with the Lanyard to ensure it does not get caught or tangled in wheelchairs, walkers and other such equipment.

The battery in Libris 2 is not designed to be removed or replaced. Battery tampering carries an inherent risk of explosion. Do not tamper with, replace or manipulate the Libris 2 or battery in any way.

As with all location-based services, it may not always be possible to determine your location. Multi-level buildings, parking garages, and even dense urban areas can make it difficult for satellites and cell phone towers to determine your exact location.

In an emergency, please provide your Service Provider response team with as much information as possible about your location.

Libris 2 is not a replacement for regular contact with caregivers or access to an alternative means of placing an emergency call.

While the fall detection system performs well, no such system is 100% reliable. If you experience a fall that causes actual or potential injury, do not wait for the automatic call. You should always press the Call Button manually in an emergency if you are able.

Libris 2 requires adequate battery charge for proper operation. Low battery may result in the inability to place a call, automatically detect a fall, and/or properly locate you automatically during an emergency. See below for more information regarding the battery indicator and proper testing.

Libris 2 is designed to be water-resistant, not waterproof. Usage other than as directed may result in the inability to place a call, automatically detect a fall, and/or properly locate you automatically during an emergency.

Use only the Numera-provided Cradle and Power Cord. Keep the Cradle and Power Cord in good condition and located where they do not pose a safety hazard. Failure to use Numera’s Cradle and Power Cord may interfere with system performance.

Test this System weekly. Test this System weekly to ensure the equipment is working properly.

Activation and Set Up

Step 1: Activate Libris 2

Place Libris 2 into the Cradle. While charging, the Cellular and Battery Indicators will be on and show your current cellular signal strength and level of battery charge.
Libris 2 should automatically turn on when placed in the Cradle, and it will play an audio message indicating it is ready for its first use: “We are activating your personal mobile responder. We will notify you when activation is complete.” Libris 2 will automatically receive any updates and, once activated on the cellular network, may take up to a minute for Libris 2 to restart.
Libris 2 should then play an audio message: “This personal mobile responder will notify your response team when it detects a fall. With one touch of the Call Button your response team will be available to assist you and will pinpoint your location so help can reach you.”

Note: Fall Detection is an optional feature. Consult your Service Provider to verify your device settings.

Step 2: Call to Complete Set Up

To register your personal mobile responder with your Service Provider response team, Libris 2 will say: “It’s time to meet your response team. Please press and hold the Call Button down to connect to your response team now.”
With Libris 2 in the Cradle, press and hold the Call Button until Libris 2 initiates the call. Libris 2 can remain in the Cradle during the call to your Service Provider response team.
Listen for the audio message: “Calling your response team now.”
When you complete the call with your Service Provider response team, Libris 2 will be set up.
Important: Libris 2 is not ready for use until you have completed the set up call with your Service Provider response team and, following that call, have charged Libris 2 in the Cradle for 4 hours.
Note: If Libris 2 does not power on and begin the activation process or cannot detect a cellular network, call your Service Provider’s customer service.

Important: Libris 2 requires an adequate battery charge to function properly. Prior to use, please charge Libris 2 at least 4 hours. We recommend charging the device each night.

Indicator Light Settings

The cellular and battery indicator light settings may be configured by your Service Provider to flash at a regular interval.

Wearing Libris 2®

Libris 2 can be worn on a belt using the Belt Clip, or as a pendant around your neck using the Lanyard Clip. Although the Libris 2 can be worn inside clothing, be advised it may be difficult to reach help button in an emergency. Talk to your health care provider regarding the most effective way to wear your Libris 2.

Use only the Numera-provided Lanyard. To reduce risk of strangulation, the Libris 2 Lanyard is designed to break apart under certain conditions. Any cord worn around the neck, however, can pose a risk of strangulation, including the possibility of serious injury and death. Libris 2 users and caregivers should exercise care with the Lanyard to ensure it does not get caught or tangled in wheelchairs, walkers and other such equipment.

Important: Libris 2 requires a vertical position with the Call Button facing away from the body to operate properly.

Attaching Belt Clip or Lanyard Clip

Align the notched side of the Clip with the notched area on the back.
Press inward until the Clip notches are nested within the Libris 2 notches.
Firmly push the Clip toward the top of the device. It is secure when you hear a click or you can no longer see the notches on the Clip.

Removing the Clip

Hold Libris 2 in your hand as shown, with the Call Button facing the palm of your hand.
Forcefully push downward on the Clip with your thumb to open.

Turning On and Off

To turn Libris 2 on, press the Call Button and hold it until the Battery Indicator flashes. Libris 2 will play music while it starts up. Once connected, Libris 2 will play a message: “Your personal mobile responder is ready.” Placing Libris 2 into the Cradle will turn it on automatically. Start-up audio prompts are silenced while this function is carried out in the Cradle.

To turn Libris 2 off, press the Call Button twice, holding down the second press for 7 seconds until Libris 2 plays a message announcing that you have requested to turn it off. It will ask you to confirm by pressing the Call Button one more time. If done correctly, Libris 2 will play the following message: “Powering off now. Good bye.”

Note: When you first receive Libris 2, leave it in the Cradle for 4 hours in order for the system to operate.

Emergency Calls

Automatic Call if a Fall is Detected

If the fall detection option has been enabled, when Libris 2 detects a potential fall while you are wearing the Libris 2, it is designed to automatically call your Service Provider response team:

If Libris 2 has detected a potential fall, it will announce: “A fall is detected. Calling your response team now. Please hold the device and position the microphone near your mouth to complete your call.”
If you have fallen and require assistance, push the Call Button once manually and do not wait for Libris 2 to automatically place the call.

Important: Libris 2 requires adequate battery charge and cellular signal to make an emergency call. Some falls may not be detected even with adequate battery charge and cellular signal.

System Care
