Your alarm will begin to beep and it will dial the monitoring centre. One of the trained operators will speak to you through the alarm unit (you do not need to be close to the alarm unit as it has a very sensitive microphone) and you will need to speak back to them and explain what help you need. In the event of an emergency the operator will call the emergency services on your behalf. If the issue is not life threatening the operator will call one of the emergency contacts you supplied on the application form.

Our main client base is local authorities and our business is tailor made to suit their needs. If you are considering out-sourcing any part of your telecare department, give us a call today and we will show you how we can help.

When the operator speaks to you, simply explain that the call is a false alarm and they will close the call down. Please don’t worry about false alarm calls, the operator will just be pleased that you are well and any call is a good test for the equipment.

Yes, you should press your pendant once a month; tell the operator at the monitoring centre that it is just a test call. The batteries in the other sensors are self-testing and you have the option of receiving a maintenance visit regularly. It is also a good idea to test your pendant after a power cut or storm.

Your pendant is waterproof but should not be submersed in water for a long time.

No, please do not unplug the base unit for any reason; it is designed to be continuously connected. Unplugging it will cause the unit to beep and may cause problems at the monitoring centre.

Your alarm unit has a backup battery - in the event of a power cut the alarm unit will still work for several hours. You need to ensure your telephone line is working as the alarm depends entirely on the phone line so please check this regularly. Other bits of technology that send out their own radio waves such as broadband routers and portable telephones can severely impact the efficiency of your alarm so please make sure you do not place your alarm within one metre of any wireless device.

Just press your pendant and let the operator know the changes you wish to make. Alternatively you can call 01233 500 498 for further assistance.
