Power Supply
VRA can be powered by connecting to 5V DC power supply or two Type C batteries.
When VRA is connected to 5V DC power supply, green LED will turn on. When DC power supply is
removed, VRA will switch to using batteries (if batteries are already installed and not exhausted)
and continue operation; green LED will turn off.

When powered by Type C batteries, VRA will transmit any detected low battery status along with
regular status signal transmissions to the Control Panel for display accordingly.
When changing batteries, please remove the back cover by unscrewing the bottom fixing screw,
and then inserting a flat-head screwdriver to lift the back cover. Remove the old batteries, and then
press the Help Button twice to fully discharge before inserting new batteries.
Supervision Signal
After learned into the Control Panel, VRA will automatically transmit Supervision Signals every 30 to
50 minutes.
If the Control Panel has not received the supervision signal from VRA for a preset period of time, the
Control Panel will indicate that the Voice Recognition Alarm is out-of-signal range or is out of order.
The Dip Switches can be used to adjust the VRA sensitivity level. Please use a sharp tool to change

After Dip Switch settings are changed, please disconnect power supply (both external power
supply and batteries must be removed) and then re-connect power to VRA. VRA will work with new
settings after re-powered on.
Getting Started
Remove the back cover by unscrewing the bottom fixing screw, and then inserting a flat-head
screwdriver to lift the back cover.
Based on your needs, set Sensitivity Switch as shown in Dip Switch Position Table.
Power on the Voice Recognition Alarm by connecting to 5V DC power supply or two Type C
batteries.
Put the Control Panel into learning mode
Press the button on the Voice Recognition Alarm to transmit a learn code.
Refer to your Control Panel’s operation manual to complete the learn-in process.
Replace the back cover.
Walk Test
Operation
After VRA is successfully learned in, place the Control Panel in the walk test mode, then press the
button on VRA to confirm that this location is within signal range of the Control Panel. Refer to
Control Panel manual to complete Walk Test.
After VRA is learned in successfully, pressing and holding the button for more than 2 seconds will

activate a Help Alarm. When the button is pressed, VRA will emit one beep.
The user can also speak the specific vocal command to activate a Help Alarm. When trigger word
“Help Me (English)” is repeated twice and recognized, VRA will emit one long beep.
Please speak the trigger word “Help Me” twice within 5 seconds to trigger alarm.
Pressing and holding the Button for 5 seconds or more will send a Cancel Code to the Control Panel
to stop the alarm.
Ways to Seek Help
Speak the trigger Keyword twice
within 5 seconds.
Press and hold the Help Button for
more than 2 seconds.
<NOTE>
To ensure voice recognition accuracy, please avoid installing VRA in a large or noisy room.
The ideal environment for voice recognition is silence or partial silence. If you call out the vocal
command with normal voice, please speak within 2 meters of VRA to ensure alarm trigger.
The voice recognition function has two sensitivity levels. You may test with them and select the level
that best suits your mounting location.
Installation
After you conduct Walk Test to confirm VRA is within signal range of the Control Panel, and you are
satisfied that the selected sensitivity level works in the chosen location, you can proceed with installation.
There are two ways to install VRA: Wall Mounting and Surface Deployment.
Wall Mounting
Ensure that VRA is fitted at approximately chest height (around 130cm-150cm above ground) where
the button can be easily accessed and operated.

Identify the keyhole on the back of VRA, drill one hole on the wall and fit the provided wall plug
(Figure 1). Fit the fixing screw and leave the non-threaded part for hanging VRA, as shown in
Figure 2.
