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 30 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 9 Volt rechargeable battery ensure you ONLY purchase
a 9 Volt
rechargeable
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 5 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. Also
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. Also ensure you 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.
CAREALERT KEY SAFE

to automate access to the premises, then the following are the
