USING THE SYSTEM

You can leave your call pendant in an
easily accessible location or attach a
cord or chain to the pendant and wear it
around your neck. You can also buy ad-
ditional pendants to leave in several lo-
cations.
We recommend you test the pendant's
battery at least once a week (see "Test-
ing and Replacing the Call Pendant's
Battery" on Page 9).
To have the alarm sound and summon
help, press
EMERGENCY CALL
call pendant.
When someone answers the call, the
console plays your message. If that per-
son presses any number on their touch-
tone phone, the alarm stops so they can
monitor the room where the console is
located. After 75 seconds, the console
disconnects the call and resumes the
alarm, but does not dial another number.
Note: The console does not respond to
the pendant while the monitor is active.
If no one answers within about 48 sec-
onds, or answers but does not press a
number, the console dials the next num-
ber. If the console receives no answer
within 4 minutes, the alarm stops and
the console stops dialing.

Note: If the dialer reaches an answering
machine, it plays its message as if
someone picked up the phone. Howev-
er, since the answering machine cannot
respond, and since the answering ma-
chine's beep will not turn on the con-
sole's monitor, the dialer will continue
calling until you press
pendant or 4 minutes have elapsed.
