Introduction
Welcome to Castle Care-Call, a system that provides the great reassurance of
direct communication with people who can help when you need them most.
The Castle Care-Call system comprises two (or possibly three) main items:
• A
home unit
that connects to a power socket and a telephone line;
• A
speech pendant
which you carry with you at all times while at home,
• One or more optional
speech pullcords
, which can be mounted in areas of
particular hazard, such as your bedroom or near to your toilet.
The idea is simple, whenever you require assistance, just press the large red
button on either the speech pendant or home unit, or pull the cord of a nearby
speech pullcord. Your home unit will then begin to dial the first of your chosen
phone numbers. Once a successful call is made, you can then speak directly
with the person through whichever device you used to sound the alarm: the
speech pendant
, the
speech pullcord
, or the
home unit
.
The list of phone numbers that your home unit calls is up to you. They could
include your near neighbours, friends, family, the emergency services or a
specialised 24-hour monitoring centre. We recommend that your professional
installer make these changes for your convenience and peace of mind.
