Making calls
In addition to making emergency alarm calls, you can use your home unit as
a handsfree phone to make and receive normal calls. You can make calls in
three ways:
• Normal dialling - use the top corner keypad to dial any phone number,
• Fastdial - quickly choose any of six frequently used, pre-stored numbers,
• Redial - call the last number that was dialled from the home unit.
Note: If an alarm is triggered while an outgoing call is in progress (initiated
either from the Castle Care-Call unit or from an attached phone), it will
automatically terminate the call and begin dialling its emergency contacts.
To make a call by normal dialling
1 Ensure that the home unit display is showing its normal set of options (i.e. the
standby screen
):
2 Press the button adjacent to the
PHONE
option (the second button down on
the left side of the display).
The display will show:
3 Lift the flap in the top right corner of the home unit and use the keypad to dial
the required phone number.
4 Press the button adjacent to the
DIAL
option (lowest button on the right
side of the display). The home unit will make the call and you can use the
handsfree microphone and speaker to talk to your recipient.
During the call you can use the volume buttons (
) to adjust the speaker
volume.
To end the call
• Press the large green C (cancel) button.
