Wireless pendant operation range up to approximately 50 metres in open
space. This distance can vary either greater or less in certain environments.
The operation frequency is 433.92MHz
5.
The “CareAlert” Smart Dialler and its components have been fully tested
and approved for use in this country (Australia) by a registered NATA
accredited laboratory to the necessary standards applicable.
POWER ADAPTOR
The 240-Volt AC Power Adaptor has a built in fusible link that will fuse
if more than 300 volts is recorded. This is to help prevent any damage
to your CareAlert Smart Dialler in the event of a Power Surge. Should
this fuse blow you will need to purchase a new Power Adaptor online.
Power Surge damage is not covered by warranty.
CAREALERT AERIAL BOOSTER
- A USEFUL ACCESSORY IF NEEDED
CareAlert can provide an Aerial Booster that will greatly extend the
range of the pendant from around 50 meters to over 150 meters. The
booster needs mains power and is usually located 40-50 meters from
the Smart Dialler. This is not necessary for the standard domestic situ-
ation but is used on larger acreage and in commercial applications.
CHANGING THE BATTERIES
Both the Smart Dialler and the Wireless pendant have a battery and
it is the user’s responsibility to ensure that they are in good working
order.
You MUST install ONLY a 9 Volt rechargeable battery for the
Smart Dialler.
The Smart Dialler automatically keeps the internal 9 volt battery re-
charged.
1.
To change the battery on the Smart Dialler you will need a small Phillips
head screwdriver to undo the battery compartment cover on the base of
the Smart Dialler. Before doing so it is important that you first disconnect
the power supply to the unit and also unplug the incoming phone line.
Your rechargeable 9 Volt battery will not normally need replacing unless
it fails to hold its charge. It should be noted that the Smart Dialler will
continue to operate normally without a battery, however should there be
a power failure then this battery is relied upon to ensure that the Smart
Dialler will continue to operate for up to 10 hours or longer.
7.
The Wireless pendant is waterproof and will sustain normal use in the
shower. It is waterproof, however it is not intended to be fully submersed
in water for long periods of time. Therefore caution should be exercised
when wearing it in the bath for lengthy periods.
8.
The Smart Dialler dials out and plays your pre-recorded message through
a standard telephone set. If you have an older telephone set and it has
both Tone / Pulse settings, then set it to “Tone”.
9.
PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY TO TEST REGULARLY - “It is your responsibility
to regularly check that your Smart Dialler is functioning correctly. It is
therefore essential that you perform a function test at least once a month,
by pressing the red buttons on your Wireless pendant and ensuring that
your Smart Dialler is operating correctly. You will need to advise the
receivers of the call that you are conducting a routine test.
DO NOT test call “000”.
It is ALSO YOUR responsibility to ensure that the batteries for the Smart
Dialler and the Wireless pendant are in good working order. Your pendant
comes installed with a 12 volt battery that may last up to 2 or more years.
You can test your pendant battery by also pressing the YELLOW BUTTON at
regular intervals.
FACTORY OR COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS
The jack labelled “Ext” at the rear of the Smart Dialler is not normally used
in domestic situations but for OH&S applications in the workplace where
an external strobe/alarm maybe required. CareAlert can provide the strobe/
alarm which comes with 10 meters of cable to allow for external mounting.
When the buttons are pressed for help not only does the dialler begin dialing
for help but the siren sounds immediately as well, drawing attention to other
employees that help is being sought for in that location.
