REACH
AT-HOME ALARM

Reach
TEL
socket - a double adapter on the incoming
line must not be used.
If the user has extension telephones, care should be taken to ensure that these are also connected via
the

socket.
Failure to connect the user’s telephones as described above may cause difficulties with alarm calls - if in
doubt seek advice.
If the user has a DECT telephone the base station MUST BE at least 2 metres away from the
Reach
.
Failure to provide this separation may result in reduced range of personal pendants or other radio devices
All telephone equipment has a Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) which is used to calculate the number
of items that can be connected to a single telephone line.
A REN of 4 is the maximum allowed on a standard UK telephone line. The
Reach
has a REN of 1.
If the REN total of all equipment connected to a telephone line exceeds 4, the equipment may not operate
correctly. With different types of equipmentthere is no guarantee of correct operation even if the REN is
less than 4. Typically 1 or 2 standard telephones (REN1) can be used with the
Reach
.
Avoid using strong detergents or polish when cleaning the
Reach
unit or
Touch
pendant.
Wipe clean with a damp cloth and polish with a dry duster.
