5. Instructions for the Recipient
Note:
There are several things that your call recipients should know in order to successfully receive
and terminate an emergency call from your Auto Dialler. Therefore make sure your Auto Dialler
recipients understand what to do when they receive your emergency call by passing them a copy
of these instructions.
5.1 To START speakerphone conversation
• After having full listened to the recorded message, press the hash key (#), to confirm that the
message is NOT merely delivered to a voice mail.
• Activate the ‘Listening-in’ function by pressing ‘1’ and ‘Speaking-in’ function by pressing ‘3’. These
can only be used when the call recipient presses the Hash key (#).
• Time out period is 60 seconds and recipients can extend either the listening time or speaking time
by pressing ‘1’ or ‘3’ accordingly. With each pressing, a further 60 seconds will be allowed by the
Auto Dialler. The conversation will be disconnected if the Auto Dialler receives no instruction.
5.2 To STOP the Emergency Message of the Existing Call AND all the Remaining Calls.
• The Auto Dialler will continue dialling the numbers until the call is answered.
• The recipient can stop the Auto Dialler by waiting until the message has finished, and pressing (#).
This will stop the Auto Dialler from calling this and all remaining phone numbers.
• As this termination stops the Auto Dialler from calling any more phone numbers, the recipient must
know the exact situation before terminating it.
5.3 To DISCONNECT all Calls after Conversation
• Once the speakerphone conversation is over, the recipient should disconnect the call by pressing (#)
instead of just hanging up the phone. This will terminate the connection for all existing calls and
the remaining calls.
6. CANCELLING the Auto Dialler
• If the Auto Dialler is activated in error it can only be cancelled by:
- The recipient following the instructions in 5.2.
- Cutting off the main power supply to the Auto Dialler AND disconnecting the back-up battery.
