Page 3: Unpacking The Reach Plus Gsm At-Home Alarm
1.2 IMPORTANT INFORMATION If the user has electronic equipment it should be at least 2 metres away from the Reach Plus GSM unit. Failure to provide this separation may result in reduced range of personal pendants or other radio devices. When installing a Reach Plus GSM unit ensure all radio trigger devices including those that may have been previously installed e.g. smoke detectors, PIR's etc. are registered with the Reach Plus GSM unit. Once complete a test call should be raised from each trigger device to the Alarm Receiving Centre to ensure it is received and the trigger device is correctly identified. The Reach Plus GSM 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. You can dust the Reach Plus GSM 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 Plus GSM unit. Avoid using harsh, abrasive or corrosive cleaning agents or detergents (e.g. scouring powders, bleaches, polishes, etc.) when cleaning the Reach Plus GSM or Touch Pendant. Both the Reach Plus GSM and Touch Pendant 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. ‐ 3 ‐ ... -

Page 14: Using The Activity Linked I'm Ok
1.16 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 Plus GSM – 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. 1.17 USING THE I’M OK TIMEOUT ALERT The Reach Plus GSM 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” ... -
