Installation
Connection
The carephone is very simply to install. The only connection required is a
connection to the telephone network via the telephone lead/adapter.
The carephone should be connected to the master telephone socket in the
home in order for it to continue to work even if a telephone receiver is left off
the hook or is faulty. The master socket is normally the one closest to the
entrance door – for further advice, contact your supplier.
Power is supplied via the telephone network and the built-in battery.
• Disconnect the existing telephone from the telephone jack and connect
the telephone lead/adapter to the jack. Connect the telephone lead to
the TEL socket on the carephone.
• Turn the power switch to the ON position.
• Connect the existing telephone to the intermediate plug. Lift the receiver
and check that you can hear the tone.
• Carry out a test alarm from the carephone.
Programming
The carephone’s telephone numbers, alarm codes and settings are
programmed via a computer, using the programming cable and the
CareTech CS software.
For help with programming and information about other programming tools,
please refer to the carephone’s technical handbook or contact your supplier.
In some cases, the carephone can be delivered ready-programmed by the
supplier.
