Fall Detector with Lifeline Vi Alarm Monthly Plan
Fall Detector with Lifeline Vi Alarm
The Lifeline VI Alarm is the latest telecare alarm technology manufactured by Tunstall. This fall detector package comes complete with everything you need to get started right away, and is easy to setup and test with a simple step by step guide provided inside. The compact and stylish alarm base comes in a standard grey and white colour scheme, with three buttons to the front which can show the unit’s status through different coloured LED lights. The speaker can be seen located to the front of the alarm base and the radio antenna and sockets hidden on the rear edge of the alarm so you can hide any wires feeding from the alarm out of sight. The Lifeline Vi home unit also has an integral temperature sensor that can monitor the environmental temperature in the room where the Lifeline is placed. The Vibby Fall Detector is sleek, stylish and technologically advanced and can be worn around the wrist or neck just like the MyAmie pendant. The main difference is that the Vibby Fall Detector can automatically send an alert call to our Response Team should you suffer from a fall. Confirmation that an alert has been raised is clearly shown by an LED light on the device, along with a useful vibration. It’s also very easy to cancel an alarm call if it was a false alarm or a test. All the user needs to do is to cover the face of the Vibby with their hands, or stand up within the 20 second period after a fall is detected. The Vibby Fall Detector will stop vibrating to confirm that the alert call has been cancelled. Don’t worry, if you feel unwell or have any other concerns you can still push the button on the Vibby Fall Detector to call for help. With the monthly plan you will be covered for monitoring from our expert 24/7 Response Team if the alarm is activated! You can purchase an additional MyAmie Pendant for yourself or a second user in the same property for £49 per year. This saves you the cost of having two separate alarms as one Lifeline VI base unit can be shared between two people. The fall detection technology in the Vibby does not allow analysis and interpretation of all fall situations. For this reason, you should always activate the Fall Detector manually by pressing the white button if you need help.This service includes:
- The plug and play Lifeline Vi Alarm
- 1 wireless Vibby Fall Detector
- Choice of Wrist Strap and Neck Cord

Alongside the GO GPS Alarm itself, you will also receive a stainless-steel hypoallergenic chain and a keyring attachment, so you can decide how you want to wear your new pendant. You could wear it around your neck, clip it onto a belt, or attach it to your keys.

If you have a fall or feel unwell in any way, all you need to do is press and hold the buttons on the front and back of the GO Alarm simultaneously. This will activate an alarm call to our Emergency Response centre. Our Response Team will answer the call within seconds and talk to you through the built-in speakerphone in order to assess the situation. Thanks to the GPS locator, they will be able to see your precise location and send help to you immediately. In most cases, this means calling your emergency contacts to assist you (usually relatives, close friends, and/or neighbours) but, where necessary, we will also contact the emergency services. Unlike traditional personal alarms, the GO GPS Alarm does not depend on a landline connection. Instead, it connects to the mobile phone network, so it can raise an alarm call wherever you are. You can also perform a connection test at any time by pressing and holding one of the two buttons. This will play a voice message which tells you the strength of your current connection and the amount of charge left in the long-lasting battery.
