The Away feature

What is the Away feature?

Your Telecom can be set up to detect high and low temperatures, when you are

inactive, or to discover and report a range of other incidents to your response

center. For example, if you are feeling ill you might not get up in the morning.

If your Telecom has been configured to detect inactivity it will eventually call

your response center to let the staff know that you have not been active.

To do this reliably it needs to know whether you are in your home or

away from your home. Otherwise, your Telecom might think that you are

inactive every time you go away to visit a friend or relative.

Going Away

To tell your Telecom that you are

going to be away press the Away

key. You will hear the word Away

spoken, and the Away key will

light up.

Returning home

To tell your Telecom that you have

arrived home press the Away key

again. You will hear the word

Home spoken, and the Away key

will turn its light off.

Returning home and raising an alarm

If you return home and raise an alarm by

pressing a button or pulling an alarm cord

(if one is fitted in your home) then your

Telecom will make an alarm call even if

Away is turned on. After making the call it

will automatically switch the Away feature

off—it will return to its Home status.
