Description of functions
Gina is a practical, well-designed, battery-operated carephone that is ideal
for use in the individual’s own home.
The Erik radio trigger is adapted for use with the Gina carephone. Erik can
be worn using a wristband, neckband or pocket clip. The CareTech Easy
Press Concept (EPC) accessory makes it easier for those with reduced
physical strength to activate the alarm.
Activating the alarm
The assistance alarm can be activated with a radio trigger or by pressing the
red button on the carephone. On activation, the carephone calls an alarm
receiver to summon help.
Other alarm types can be activated using accessories.
If an alarm is activated accidentally, it can be reset by pressing the green
button on the carephone.
Different types of alarm transmitter
Nine radio transmitters can be programmed with the carephone, e.g. a radio
trigger, smoke detector, motion detector, etc.
In the event of an alarm from a radio transmitter, the battery status of the
radio transmitter is tested. The Erik radio trigger has the option of automatic
battery monitoring.
Alarm receivers
Up to six alarm receivers can be programmed. The alarm is identified using
an alarm code which is programmed into the carephone. The person
receiving the alarm can then speak directly with the person raising the alarm
and take appropriate action.
Other functions
Additional functions can be activated or changed by programming – refer to
the technical handbook or contact your supplier for further information.
