Emergency Alarm System (EAS) is a support service for individuals in need, such as the elderly. EAS, in general, operates in the following three steps:
●In emergency situation when you need help at home, you can press the remote trigger
of the portable EAS or the alarm button of the base unit;
●Your emergency call as activated by the base unit will be connected to a 24-hour call
centre; and
●Upon confirmation of the clien t’s identity, the control centre will take proper action
to ensure that speedy and appropriate assistance will be offered to the client.
When you are choosing amongst different EAS products, you should understand and try to operate them personally. You should also ask for additional information about the product and service from th
e service provider, such as:
●if the base unit and other equipment (including accessories) comply with the
requirements of the telecommunications standards in Hong Kong (if a certificate of compliance issued by the Communications Authority (CA) or a certificate issued by an accreditation body can be provided);
●if the base unit is compatible with the local fixed telephone network (if the type of
compatible network and relevant information can be provided);

Notes on Using EAS
●Wear the portable remote trigger
Users should wear the portable remote trigger so that they can call the EAS control centre for help in case of emergency by pressing the alarm button instantly.
●Conduct regular checks of the system
Users should check the alarm button of the remote trigger and other accessories of EAS regularly at different parts of their home to ensure if there is any malfunction or failure of the system. Users can thus save the hassle and panic and receive urgent
support services by ensuring that their device is functional under an emergency situation.
●Never unplug the device
Users are reminded not to disconnect EAS from the power source at any time, not even when they are to leave for a long trip. Otherwise, the control centre will be automatically alerted by the base unit of EAS of a power failure at the client’s home, causing disturbance to its normal operation.
Smart Tips on Using the Service and Signing Contracts
●The Social Welfare Department (SWD) is not in collaboration with any service
provider, neither will it arrange for any staff to promote EAS service.

clearly the nature of the service provider, details of the services to be provided, whether it is required to enter into any contract for a fixed term and fees, etc.
●Instead of committing to the use of any service on the phone, it is preferable to obtain
a copy of the written contract and service brief to read carefully beforehand.
●After obtaining the written information and terms of use of the service, it is advisable
to discuss with your family or social worker, or ask your friends and relatives who are using the service for feedback on the service quality before making a well-informed decision on whether to use a particular EAS. Never jump to a decision without careful consideration.
