Additional features available on
your BT In Touch 2000
Using the Emergency button
In the event of an emergency simply press the
Emergency
button on the BT In Touch 2000 or BT
In Touch Pendant. This starts the emergency
sequence, confirmed by a flashing orange light on
the BT In Touch 2000 and a series of beeps. The BT
In Touch 2000 then dials the first of the allocated
emergency contact numbers.
It will continue to call all 3 numbers in turn until the
‘call for help’ is answered and the 3-digit code
entered.
The called number can now speak to
the caller
Because your BT In Touch 2000 is ‘hands free’ there
is no need to pick up the handset as long as you are
within hearing distance of your BT In Touch 2000.
What to do next
Having assessed the situation, the called number
can decide on the best thing to do.
The called number can also remotely clear the BT In
Touch 2000 and return it to an ‘idle’ state allowing
the caller to make further calls, by pressing
6
✱ ✱
.
If the called number is engaged
If the called number is engaged, or the call is taken
by an answering machine, fax or someone who does
not know the 3-digit code, the BT In Touch 2000 will
continue to call the next emergency number.
Your BT In Touch 2000 can be set up to contact
relatives or friends in an emergency. If you decide
to use these functions, please follow the instructions
in this section. To further enhance this feature, a
Pendant is available that will alert your BT In Touch
2000 and the emergency sequence will be activated.
Pendants are available from the BT In Touch Helpline
on 0845 6011 406.
Once the emergency call has been answered, the
called number will hear
‘Emergency call, emergency
call, please enter the 3-digit code’
. The emergency
sequence will only stop when the person who has
answered the call enters the 3-digit security code
(
555
) or the caller presses and
holds down
the
Cancel
button on their BT In Touch 2000.
The BT In Touch 2000 will then stop trying to call
any of the other emergency numbers.
