This user guide is designed to help Scheme Managers to understand and operate the basic operational features of ConnectCall for the different system versions. The operation of the telephone based systems differs slightly dependent on whether the system uses a Long Range Cordless, DECT handset, multiple DECT handsets or a mobile phone.
Main features explained Enhanced safety The provision of an auto GSM backup facility (optional) and a removable memory card means residents are further protected. Message waiting This feature enables Scheme Managers to leave messages for residents on their speech module. For example if the resident has a visitor when they are out then the scheme manager can leave a message for the resident rather than trying to remember.
Using the telephone based system The telephone based system uses DECT, Long Range Cordless (LRC) or mobile phones to allow scheme managers to receive and make calls to residents on the system. Each resident has a speech module within the dwelling to enable them to communicate with the Scheme Manager via their handset (DECT, LRC or mobile).
