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. When the mains power comes back on, it will
recharge the battery back up to full, ready for the next mains power outage. 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.
Under normal operating conditions the rechargeable
battery should last up to 2 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 water.
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. a warning message will be
played every fifteen minutes if you have accidentally done this.
6.
For increased performance, ensure that the Smart Dialler antenna is moved to the upright position.
Do not place 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 so caution should be exercised when wearing it in
the bath for lengthy periods.
