Alarm safely

We advise you to obtain a safe and reliable alarm
• to enter multiple contacts of persons and to make them part of the alarm handling;
• using multiple alarm methods, such as speech and app, together;
• tick critical alarms as such, so that they are ALWAYS logged out. This gives the app a higher attention
value,
see chapter "6.1.1. Alarm settings (left side)";
• to increase the number of repetitions after acceptance
• adjust the default setting "waiting time between repetitions" (default at 30 minutes) to the urgency of
the alarm (for example 10 minutes)
• work with short alarm delays (default "delay before active" at 5 seconds and "delay after recovery" at 2
seconds)
see chapter "6.1.1. Alarm settings (left side)"
Periodic testing of alarms
Octalarm-Touch has been developed and manufactured with great care. However, given the importance
of good alarms, it is recommended that you test the alarms regularly (e.g. once a week). This will not only
test the proper operation of the Octalarm-Touch, but also the telephone connections. An example of a
good test is to briefly remove the mains plug, which will cause a power failure to be called out. See also
chapter "5.1. Adding and editing contacts" under Contacts for more test options.
