Using radio pendants
Radio pendants use radio waves to send out signals to your Telecom. If you press the
button on a pendant this will send a signal to your Telecom telling it to raise an alarm.
Telecom can work with a variety of different radio pendants. Telecom can even accept
signals from several radio pendants at once, although most Telecoms are sold with just one
pendant, such as an Amie pendant.
• Keep your radio pendant with you at all times.
• Keep it by your bedside at night.
• Do not put your radio pendant into water.
• Clean only by wiping with a soft, slightly damp cloth.
How close do I have to be to my Telecom to use my radio pendant?
Different types of radio pendant can work at different distances from your Telecom. The
maximum recommended distance is given for each type of pendant, although you should
note that this is only an estimate. A pendant with a low battery will not be able to work as
far from your Telecom as a radio pendant with a new battery.
The key issue is how easily the radio signals can travel between your radio pendant
and your Telecom. For example, if there is nothing between your Telecom and your
radio pendant other than a single pane of ordinary glass (maybe you could be at the
bottom of your garden), then they will be able to communicate at distances greater
than the recommended maximum. On the other hand, if a metal cabinet or thick stone
wall is between your Telecom and your radio pendant then they may have problems
communicating, even if they are just a short distance from one another.
