** Taking Care Anywhere and Taking Care GO will work from any location in the UK, excluding the Channel Islands, where there is a 3G or 4G cellular network to communicate, subject to atmospheric conditions, radio interference, buildings, or other forms of interference that can block the pendant's connection to GPS satellites. A GPS satellite network must be available for the GPS pendant to determine its location. Fall detection in the Taking Care Anywhere and Taking Care GO works with the GPS pendant in pendant mode only. The style and appearance of the alarm unit is subject to change.
