Alarm Operation

Pull-Cord Alarm

If needed, remove the pull-cord cover from the handset using a flat screwdriver before attaching the cord.
The cord must be attached more than 5 seconds before pulling it off the handset. If not, the alarm is not
triggered.
Make sure that the clip of the pull-cord is safely attached to the clothes.
When the alarm has been enabled but the cord is not attached to the handset, the Pull-cord alarm symbol
flashes to indicate that the cord must be attached to the handset. Also, if set by an administrator, a sound
signal is heard if the user does not react to the flashing icon.
When the Pull-cord alarm is triggered by pulling out the cord, depending on set parameters, the following
occurs:
• A beep is heard.
• The white LED flashes twice.
• The Pull-cord alarm symbol flashes.
• The vibrator stirs.
• The handset receives a notification that the alarm has been received by the system. This is a system
dependent feature.
• An acoustic location signal (ALS) may be activated after the alarm has been sent, or a call may be
established to a predefined number. See
after Alarm, page 49.
• Information about the handset's location is sent along with an alarm, see
Information, page 48.
• A sound signal alerts the user to re-attach the cord.

Acoustic Location Signal

An alarm can be followed by an Acoustic Location Signal (ALS). The ALS is a ramped up signal from the
handset that sounds for a predefined period of time. The signal is silenced by pressing the Mute button on
the handset.
Depending on the PDM/Device Manager settings, it is possible to make the user enter a password when
turning the ALS off. The password is the same as the phone lock password.
ALS is configurable for Man-down & No-movement alarm, Push-button alarm and Pull-cord alarm. Refer to
the Configuration Manual, Ascom d83 DECT Handset, TD 93426EN.
The ALS is not triggered if automatic call after alarm is active. However, if a call, for example an
automatic call after alarm, is already established during ALS, ALS will be silenced during this call.
