Avoid using harsh, abrasive or corrosive cleaning agents or detergents (e.g. scouring powders, bleaches, polishes, etc.) when cleaning the Reach Ultra or Touch Pendant. You can dust the Reach Ultra or Touch Pendant with a soft cloth or soft brush. For particularly soiled units wipe clean with a damp cloth and a non‐abrasive cleaning product, polish with a dry duster. DO NOT use a wet cloth on the Reach Ultra unit. The Reach Ultra unit includes delicate electronics – to allow water to come into contact with it is dangerous and may cause damage. If the unit does get wet; un‐plug it from the mains supply and switch off immediately, then contact your Service Provider before attempting to re‐use it. The Reach Ultra and Touch Pendant both contain batteries and should therefore not be disposed of in domestic waste. Refer to Tynetec’s Telecare Battery Management information (Doc No. FM0630) for details on battery types, changing intervals and safe disposal. Notes on operation… The Reach Ultra defaults to the PSTN line for normal operation, should the line fail for more than 2 minutes it will automatically switch to GSM mode. When switched to GSM mode it will check the PSTN line every 10 minutes, once the line is detected again the unit will switch back to PSTN mode. When operating in PSTN mode all GSM functions i.e. SMS text messaging and the iCare monitoring service will operate as normal. When operating in GSM mode the users telephone connected to the Reach Ultra cannot be used for incoming or outgoing telephone calls. ...

During the I’m OK period… The GREEN button will FLASH GREEN (( )) once per second. ...
1.18 USING THE ACTIVITY LINKED I’M OK Telecare sensors such as mains usage monitors, door contacts or PIR movement detectors can be used to monitor daily activity and automatically register the resident as being OK. For example; if a kettle fitted with a mains usage monitor is boiled during the I’m OK period this will stop the local alert and the resident will be registered as being “OK”. Activity linked I’m OK must be enabled during programming of the Reach Ultra – see section 2.6.6 for details. Care should be taken when using this option as the activation of any Telecare sensor during the I’m OK period will be recognised as activity and will therefore register the person as being OK. 1.19 USING THE I’M OK TIMEOUT ALERT The Reach Ultra can be set to play a user recorded speech message at the end of the I’m OK period if the green button has not been pressed (or if no activity has been detected). At the end of the I’m OK period… “Press the flashing green button now if you’re feeling (( )) OK today” ...

If the text is not acknowledged, the alarm will then report to a Control Centre or Personal Recipient. The SMS text message will identify the Reach Ultra unit ID, the alarm type, the residence number, the location of the sensor and the time & date of the call. If option 2 is selected the call can be cancelled by replying OK within the preset time. When a sensor is activated a text message will be sent with the details below… Reach Ultra unit ID (12 digits) Alarm type (i.e. type of sensor activated) Reach 000000139522 Pullcord Alarm Residents room/flat number Residence 14 Bathroom Location of sensor (from BS8521 options 00‐99) ...
