Pendant test reminders
The unit is able to announce a spoken message to the user asking them to test their
pendant. This can be enabled via PC Connect under the Reminders menu. The test
period can be set from 1- 99 days with a randomisation period of 0-9 days. This is to
limit the number of test calls the monitoring centre will receive in one day. The time
window in which the pendant test reminder will be announced can be set between a
start and stop time.
Once the resident hears the message ‘
Test reminder
please press personal trigger’
the user should press the alarm button or personal trigger within 5 minutes (default
setting) to send a test call to the monitoring centre. If the reminder is not responded
to, the home unit will remind the user again at a different time the following day.
If the resident raises the test call via their alarm button/personal trigger when
prompted, this will be followed by a 2
nd
messag
e ‘Press the green cancel button to
complete the test’. If the cancel button is pressed within 1 minute the home unit will
announce ‘Test completed’ and will only remind the user again after the next test
period (e.g. 30 days). If this message is ignored a
‘Test Reminder not confirmed’
alarm will be sent to the monitoring centre and presented to an operator. Such an
alarm should be handled as a potential emergency alarm call.
If quick code (3300) is entered, the home unit will demonstrate the feature by playing
each recorded message in sequence. This can be used to help familiarise the user
with the feature during installation. The quick code will not result in any calls being
transmitted to the monitoring centre.
NOTE:
Pendant test reminders are handled in the background of PNC5/6 if all the steps are
completed by the user.
