General description of Tx4 alarm transmitter
Alarms can be activated with the alarm transmitter Tx4. When the red button is pressed a red LED lights up on the
transmitter for a short period. When the alarm has been received by Careline Anna/GSM a signal is sent back to
the alarm transmitter to confirm that the alarm has been activated, then a green LED lights up briefly.
Tx4 uses dual frequency, which is a new feature that allows it to change frequency and transmit on another
frequency if there is a disruption on the primary frequency. When an alarm is activated Tx4 first broadcasts on
one frequency. If there is no response from the carephone the signal is repeated up to three times. After which,
the Tx4 changes frequency and transmits on the second frequency, up to four times. This feature provides
increased security and safety for the user. The radio frequencies used are the European-customised frequency for
social alarms 869.2125 MHz and 868.3000 MHz.
The Tx4 alarm transmitter can automatically send a link test to the carephone, which shows that the Tx4 is
working properly and has contact with the carephone. If the link test does not reach the carephone it will send
an alarm to a pre-programmed alarm recipient about the failure of the test alarm from the Tx. The function is
activated in the carephone with the help of the handterminal.
The alarm transmitter Tx4 is worn on a bracelet or necklace. The alarm transmitter is also waterproof (IP67) so that
the alarm transmitter can be worn during a bath or shower. A new feature of the Tx4 is that change of battery is
possible. See section 6.2.

New functions of Careline Anna/GSM
Careline Anna/GSM has many new features and options. A selection of them is listed below.
1.3.1
Dual frequency
Dual frequency allows Careline Anna/GSM to receive radio signals on two different frequencies 869.2125 MHz and
868.3000 MHz. Dual frequency provides extremely good security: if something were to disrupt the
communication on one frequency, the alarm can reach the carephone on the second frequency.
1.3.2
Greater amount of telephone numbers and sequences
In Careline Anna/GSM you can add 10 phone numbers and there are now 8 sequences. Each sequence can have
10 steps. Sequences can also be connected in series, so that when the carephone rings in accordance with one
sequence, it can continue to call in a different sequence. This provides great opportunities for extensive and
flexible programming.
1.3.3
GSM functionality
With the Careline GSM you have the ability to activate an alarm over the mobile network, which provides good
security if the analogue telephone network is down. For each telephone number you can choose if the
communication is to be made via telephone lines or wirelessly via the mobile network. You can also send an
alarm via GPRS. Therefore, you can also program internet addresses in the Careline GSM. You can set the APN you
wish to connect to, and the PIN of the SIM card, if a PIN is to be used.
1.3.4
Illumination of the alarm button
Something that has been requested is for the carephone's alarm button to be illuminated, so that it is easier to
find in the dark. This feature is a part of Careline Anna/GSM. Illumination of the alarm button can be turned on or
off, and you can also easily adjust the brightness to your liking.
1.3.5
Location code
Careline Anna/GSM has a new feature which means that a location code can be entered for each alarm
transmitter. Location codes are numbers that you can enter yourself for different places in the home, e.g., kitchen,
bedroom, hall. In this way it is possible, for example, to know which door alarm has been activated, the one
located at the main entrance or the patio door.
