Wireless Connection
Your communicator connects to the Response Centre using a wireless network,
so no phone line or additional wireless equipment is required.
Always refer to the User Manual for important information.
NOTE: In order for the ConnectCare service to work properly,
you will need access to a working power outlet (not controlled by a wall switch).
