1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 General

The MCT-220 enables people, for example senior citizens in their
home environment, to transmit an emergency call when they are at
some distance from their communication unit.

1.2 Additional Features

PowerMax family system.
 Can be used for X-10 devices activating when used with a Visonic
