The Mini is a compact and discrete safety device that provides workers who are exposed to at-risk or uncomfortable situations with the confidence to do their job knowing emergency support is only the press of a button away.

The Mini has a three button system

  • There are two emergency alerts buttons, press and hold either button until the amber light starts flashing which indicate an alert has been sent. Once the alert has been received, both the red and amber lights will flash

  • The power button can either be enabled or to avoid inadvertently turning the device off it can be disabled. Press and hold to turn on and off.

  • This is the power indicator light. If amber the unit is turned on and powered up

  • This is the status indicator light. If red the battery is low or if flashing it indicates the battery is charging

  • Charging is required through a micro USB cable

The Mini connects to the Smartrak platform via cellular communication and plots the location of the user at 5 min intervals while the person is moving.  If the emergency button is pressed an email or text message is sent to specified recipients and an alert will appear on the Smartrak map.

WARNING BEFORE USE

WARNING BEFORE USE

The Mini should not be used as the sole means of protection for those at risk of being alone or lone working. It should only be used as a supplementary measure alongside other health and safety procedures.

Please ensure the device is fully charged before use.

Do not use the device in hazardous environments where the ignition of flammable substances is possible.

If the device is out of normal cellular coverage areas (i.e. where your mobile phone will not work) then emergency alerts will not be transmitted.

PLEASE NOTE: Your personal safety device will show the last known location on the map site until it acquires a new GPS fix. If the map location does not match the device’s physical location, the corrective action is to take the device into a GPS coverage area and wait for a new GPS fix to occur (in an open outside space). Incorrect location may occur when the device is turned on / recharged and when you first activate the device (initial activation).

IMPORTANT: Times to acquire a GPS fix may vary depending on weather, satellite location and satellite acquisition time - please allow several minutes before checking the map location has updated. Repeat if necessary.

OPERATION

Charging

  • Charge the device with the micro USB cable supplied. Amber on and Red flashing lights indicate battery is in the process of charging. Once fully charged (approximately 2 hours) the power indicator light (D) remains solid while the red light goes out. Note: If the device does not have the on/off button enabled if will turn off when battery is depleted and reactivate when battery is charged.

Emergency Alert

  • To raise an emergency alert, press and hold button A or C until the amber light D starts flashing. This sends a message to the predetermined alert recipients. Once the alert has been received, both the red and amber lights will flash to acknowledge that the message has been received.

One Way Voice

  • Once the alert recipient receives the alert they will respond accordingly. The alert recipient can one-way voice dial incognito to the device to monitor the emergency situation.

Battery Life

  • At the end of each day recharge the Mini. It will take approximately two hours to fully charge the battery. The battery life is around 16 hours based on the device moving for 50% of the time. Please Note: If the battery is completely drained it may take up to a minute for the power light to illuminate after being connected to the charging cable
