Telecom 4000 in detail
Telecom is designed to help vulnerable people, and it is important to recognize
that we are all vulnerable at some time. For example, a thirty-year old man
making house repairs can be at greater risk that an eighty-year old woman
spending the day writing in her house.
In order to help a wide variety of people, in a diverse range of different
situations, Telecom has to perform a wide range of tasks. As a result Telecom is
not like a normal telephone. It can be changed (configured) to make it perform
these different tasks. Here are just some of the tasks that Telecom can perform.
Raising alarms. There are
many different ways to raise an
alarm call. Your Telecom can
recognize inputs for up to 25
different radio pendants, as
well as a button, pull-cord or
some other type of trigger
connected via wires to the back
of Telecom. It even has the new
Tunstall accessory port which
can be used to physically
connect all manner of devices to your Telecom if they are needed.
Hands-free. Most telephones
that allow hands-free speech
have to switch between
listening and speaking to
prevent loud feedback noises.
Telecom’s advanced design and
sophisticated electronics allow
high-quality two-way speech,
which makes the conversation
much easier for both parties.
