Status warnings
Telephone line monitoring
If the telephone line is faulty or becomes disconnected or there is a problem with the
telephone service, the home base will announce
‘WARNING – the telephone line is
disconnected’
after 1 minute. This warning will be repeated every 30 seconds until the
telephone line becomes available again.
To silence the warning, re-connect the telephone line. If the telephone line is connected
and the warning continues, press the green RESET button. If the warning continues you
should contact your telephone company or supplier as the telephone line may be faulty or
out of service.
AC Power failure monitoring
If an AC power failure occurs, the home base will continue to work using its backup
battery. However, as a warning, the green LED will flash once every 4 seconds (see
section, “What the LED lights on the home base indicate”). With the light flashing, the
home base will also announce
‘WARNING – there is no electrical power’.
This warning is
repeated every 5 minutes. To silence the warning, reconnect the power cord or press the
green RESET button. When the power is restored, the base unit will announce ‘The
electrical power has been restored’.
If the power failure lasts for more than 1 hour, during the next hour the unit will
automatically call the Care Innovations Response Center. A call will then be placed
periodically to the Response Center until the power is restored. The battery provides 30
hours backup.
