The Lifeline Personal Alarm has a lithium battery which is rechargeable and cannot be overcharged. A full battery will operate up to 48-72 hours (2-3 days) depending on usage. Our recommendation is to charge the Lifeline Personal Alarm as part of your daily routine, eliminating the risk of the battery becoming flat.
The Lifeline Personal Alarm has a multi-network SIM card which attaches to the strongest available network, unlike a mobile phone that only operates off a single network provider. With the multi-network SIM, you have the added security knowing that if one network is down or an outage occurs, the multi-network SIM automatically connects to the next available network. The Lifeline Personal Alarm also features a microphone and speaker, enabling you to always speak and listen directly through the device, whilst at home, in the garden or when “out and about”.
24-hour Monitoring Service

- Ensure the charging station is plugged into the mains electric.
- Insert the Lifeline Personal Alarm into the charging station, ensuring you hear it CLICK into place, vibrate and a red LED light appears on the front of the charging station.
- Charge the Lifeline Personal Alarm daily.
From a flat battery the charging time is approximately 4 to 5 hours. It’s recommended that charging is carried out overnight by your bedside, kept within easy reach should an emergency arise.
If the Lifeline Personal Alarm has not been worn daily and has remained in the charging station for 24 hours or more, it MUST be removed from the charging station and re-inserted ensuring you hear it CLICK, vibrate and the red LED light appears on the charging station, for the device to regain a full battery.
NB, when the Lifeline Personal Alarm is fully charged, the red LED light will disappear on the charging station and charging ceases. The SOS Pendant Alarm will now use the charge held in the device and the battery will slowly drain over time, even whilst sat in the charging station. The Lifeline Personal Alarm is unable to automatically re-start the process of charging when the battery is low or empty, when sat in the charging station. It requires the user to remove the device from the charging station and re-insert to start the charging process to obtain a full battery.
The blue and green lights will flash intermittently indicating the Lifeline Personal Alarm is connected to the mobile network and has battery life.
The blue light flashing every second indicates the battery is below 20% and needs charging by inserting into the charging station. While the device is charging, the blue light will remain solid (not flashing).

What Our Customers Have to Say About Our Service
Customer feedback is very important to us! Check out our independently verified reviews below.
“I feel more secure in my house because I have a lot of steps, and there’s always the chance of a fall.
The alarm is straightforward to charge. When testing, it zips straight through to the emergency centre.”
“Since having the Pendant Alert for the past five weeks, I have not had to use its emergency features. Still, it has provided both my family and me with reassurance anticipating its alert response to cope with any emergency or fall that may happen in the future.”
“It goes with me wherever I go, it’s nice to know I could get help should I need it as I have no living relatives. I worry about falling and being able to get up especially when in the shower. I do find the strap a bit too long and have set the alarm off accidentally by knocking it. It’s easy to use and I put it on charge every evening.”
“The Pendant has given me more confidence in living alone. It’s easy to use. I charge it daily to ensure the battery is full should I need to use it.”
