PrecaUtions and maintenance
1.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not attempt to open the Smart Dialler unit.
2.
The backup battery in the Smart Dialler is designed to protect you in the event of a power failure.
Within a few seconds of losing main’s power a voice message over the loud speaker of the dialler
will advise
‘mains Power is not detected’
. This message will continue (every 60 minutes)
until the mains power is restored or until the battery runs down. As the battery reaches a low
level such that it can no longer play the message it will flash the letter ‘P’ on the dialler LED
display indicating that soon there will be no power to enable a dial out for help. When the mains
power comes back on, it will recharge the battery back up to full ready for the next mains power
outage and the ‘P’ will turn off. It is worth noting that each time this occurs the battery life is
diminished 5-7% such that progressively it will support you a little less each time. When replacing
the
backup battery
un-plug both the incoming phone line and the power supply to the Smart
Dialler when performing this change.
Under normal operating conditions the rechargeable
battery should last up to 3 years. Less if you are prone to frequent power failures.
3.
The positioning of the Smart Dialler is closely related to its receiving range performance. Avoid
placing the Smart Dialler on top of other electrical appliances such as TV’s, Computers, Microwaves,
metal cabinets etc. Avoid placing the Smart Dialler on the floor or in a corner of a room.
4.
Ensure that the Smart Dialler is not positioned in places liable to dust and dirt, high temperature,
direct sunlight, steam, or excessive moisture. Always treat the Smart Dialler with care.
5.
Only use a dry cloth to clean the Smart Dialler, never use any cleaning products or moisture when
cleaning. When cleaning be careful not to slide the switch at the rear to the ‘set’ position for in this
position you will have no dial-tone or dial-out capability.
6.
For increased performance, ensure that the Smart Dialler antenna is moved to the upright position.
Do not butt the dialler up close to a cordless phone such that they interfere with each other and
the desired pendant operating distance is not realized. You need to separate them by at least 20cm
or if using a ‘long range’ cordless phone you need to separate by even a greater distance.*
7.
The Wireless pendant is waterproof and will sustain normal use in the shower. It is not intended to
be fully submersed in water for long periods of time, caution should be exercised when wearing it
in the bath for lengthy periods.
8.
The Smart Dialler dials out and plays your pre-recorded message through a standard telephone
set. If you have an older telephone set and it has both Tone / Pulse settings, then set it to “Tone”.
PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY TO TEST REGULARLY - “It is your responsibility to regularly check that
your Smart Dialler is functioning correctly. It is therefore essential that you perform a function
test at least once a month, by pressing the red buttons on your Wireless pendant and ensuring
that your Smart Dialler is operating correctly. You will need to advise the receivers of the call that
you are conducting a routine test. DO NOT test call Triple Zero“000”. It is ALSO YOUR responsibility
to ensure that the batteries for the Smart Dialler and the Wireless pendant are in good working
order. Your pendant comes installed with a 12 volt battery that may last up to 2 or more years. You
can test your pendant battery by also pressing the YELLOW BUTTON at regular intervals.
*Other devices may also interrupt communications such as remote doorbells, robot vacuum cleaners and other wireless devices in the home.
