12 Summary and modes of use
Below is a brief description of how the Birth Alarm Lite 2.0 works and how it should be used.
We recommend that you read this text.
The Birth Alarm Lite 2.0 checks the position of your mare once every 4 seconds. In the intervals
the Birth Alarm Lite 2.0
will switch to an energy‐
efficient state so that the battery is not
overloaded.
When your mare has contractions and therefore lies down stretched, the Birth Alarm Lite 2.0
will call your own mobile phone. You will then see the Birth Alarm Lite 2.0 phone number
appear on the screen of your mobile phone. If you save this number in the phone list of your
mobile phone with for example the name "BirthAlarm" or "Mare", this name will also appear on
your phone's screen. So now you know that the Birth Alarm Lite 2.0 is calling you. Contrary to
what you would normally do, in this case you
do not
answer your phone! As a result, you do not
make a "call" and the notification to you will be completely free of charge. The Birth Alarm Lite
2.0 stops ringing automatically after a few seconds. You can then call the Birth Alarm Lite 2.0
back, which is also free of charge. With this you let the Birth Alarm Lite 2.0 know that you have
heard its call and the Birth Alarm Lite 2.0 will stop calling you. The Birth Alarm Lite 2.0 only
becomes active again when the horse lies down again after some time.
If you do not call back the Birth Alarm Lite 2.0 within half a minute, the Birth Alarm Lite 2.0
will call the second number in its memory ‐ if a second number has been programmed ‐
and
then wait another half minute for confirmation. For example, the Birth Alarm Lite 2.0 can
warn a total of 4 telephone numbers/persons in the event of a birth. If Birth Alarm Lite 2.0 has
called each number once without any of the numbers responding, BirthAlarm Lite 2.0 will call
the first number again. After this, the Birth Alarm Lite 2.0 will also automatically send an SMS
status message. This is an SMS message in which the Birth Alarm Lite 2.0 briefly and concisely
states some important information about the lying angle, battery capacity, network coverage,
etc.
(see 9)
Incidentally, it should be noted that the Birth Alarm Lite 2.0 can also call a landline connection,
which is your home phone, without any problems. If your landline is equipped with number
recognition, you can also determine in advance whether the Birth Alarm Lite 2.0 will call you. If
your landline telephone has no number recognition, you will be obliged to answer every call.
You will then hear a sound by which you can recognise the Birth Alarm Lite 2.0. In this case you
do have a call connection with Birth Alarm Lite 2.0 and a small amount will be deducted from
the prepaid card of the Birth Alarm Lite 2.0. If you would like to use Birth Alarm Lite 2.0 in this
way, we advise you to check your credit regularly. Make sure that this always remains above
£10.
A set of alkaline batteries, will usually operate the system for at least a month. The use
of rechargeable or the cheaper zinc‐coal batteries is strongly discouraged!
