Page 14: Using Lifeline Digital
The main functionality of Lifeline Digital is to distribute alarms and events to an alarm receiver or Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC). Alarms and events can be actively triggered by a care recipient or passively by the system. Lifeline Digital distributes alarms and events according to pre-configured sequences to the receiver or ARC. The type of alarm or event determines which sequence to use for distribution. -
Page 15: Cancel An Alarm Call
When Lifeline Digital receives the radio signal, it initiates an alarm call and announces "Alarm registered - Press the Cancel button to cancel the alarm - Do not worry, contacting assistance". 4.1.2. Cancel an alarm call To prevent false alarms it is possible to cancel an alarm call before it is connected to the receiver or Alarm Receiving Center (ARC). -
