1. INSTALLATION
The Altec Response portable alarm unit is supplied with a power lead and a rechargeable battery.
How to Connect the Altec Response
1. The Altec Response will usually be desk mounted within 3 metres of an electric supply, if an extension cable is necessary
care should be taken to ensure that no one can trip over the lead.
2. The Altec Response should not be located within 2 metres of a DECT telephone base station, failure to provide this
separation may result in reduced range of the Altec radio devices.
3. Slide the battery compartment cover open on the rear of the Altec Response case and connect the battery lead.
Refit the cover.
4. Plug the POWER LEAD into the POWER SOCKET and connect to an electric supply.
5. The OUTPUT SOCKET is only used for connecting additional devices such as a flashing light.
6. The flexible black AERIAL receives signals from the Telecare sensors and must not be cut‐down in length or coiled‐up.
2. HOW TO SWITCH THE ALTEC RESPONSE ON
Once the electric supply is plugged in and switched on the Altec Response display will illuminate.
The battery symbol bars should be flashing to indicate the battery is being charged.
After 10 seconds the display will go blank, the unit is still on but the display goes off to save power.
Battery Power
If there is no mains supply connected the Altec Response can be switched on by holding the ENTER key for approx 2 seconds
until the display illuminates. The battery symbol bars will not be flashing – the number of bars illuminated will give an
indication of charge remaining.
From a full charge the unit should last approx 4 hours on standby. When the battery is almost exhausted the unit will
announce "Low Battery" and flash an empty battery symbol on the display every 2 minutes. The Altec Response must be
plugged in and left on charge for at least 8 hours to restore full battery power.
