The emergency alarm can be triggered by the large HELP button on the top of the Console or with a wireless transmitter. The fire alarm can be triggered by wireless smoke alarms. The carbon monoxide alarm can be triggered by wireless carbon monoxide detectors.
The optional activity timer can be set for 8, 12, or 24 hour operation or disabled. The emergency alarm will trigger automatically if the time set elapses before an activity transmitter is triggered or the Console's HOME button is pressed.
To simplify operation, the Console can "speak" to the subscriber with its built-in digitally synthesized voice. The Console will say "emergency", "fire", "timer done soon", and other system operation, setup, and supervisory prompts from a 38 word vocabulary. If necessary, the voice option can be disabled.
The Console can perform 2-way voice activated (duplex), 2-way manual, and 1-way listen-only audio communications through the Console's built-in high-sensitivity microphone and speaker. Communications with Care Center monitoring personnel starts after an alarm. Two-way communications can also be started without any subscriber action. An authorized individual may call the Console twice from any touchtone telephone and activate two-way voice communications by keying in a four-digit password after placing the second call.
The Console can be programmed to act as a remote controlled "speakerphone". With the speakerphone mode enabled, the Console will monitor the telephone line for an incoming call. Activating any emergency transmitter (or the Console's HELP button) while the telephone is ringing will cause the Console to seize the line and begin speakerphone communications. Activating any emergency transmitter (or HELP button) during the call will disconnect the line. The Console will auto-disconnect after 15, 30, or 60 minutes (programmable).
Supervised transmitters regularly send status reports to the Console and low battery reports when their batteries are low. When the Console receives a low battery report, the STATUS indicator blinks. If the Console fails to receive a status report from a transmitter for a period of 24 hours, the STATUS indicator will light. All supervisory conditions can sound a local annunciation and be reported to the Care Center.
Powered by a low voltage plug-in transformer, the Console has provisions for a rechargeable backup battery for operation during AC power outages. The battery is recharged by the Console, even if the POWER switch is off (as long as the transformer is plugged in). If the backup battery becomes low, the POWER light will flash and the condition can be reported to the Care Center.
