Understanding alarm calls

Alarm calls can be raised when

you press a button or pull a cord.

They can also be made when

automatic sensors are set off,

such as smoke detectors.

Telecom can call response

centers or individuals on normal

telephones. Individuals who take

alarm calls are referred to as

personal recipients.

Call Lists. Telecom will not just call one telephone number. Telecom can

be made to try a whole list of numbers. For example, if you press an alarm

button Telecom might first call your friend in the next house. If there is no

answer then Telecom might call your sister in the next village. If your sister

is not there to answer the call then Telecom might call a response center.

The friends, relatives and response centers Telecom calls, and the order in

which the calls are made, can be programmed into Telecom.

How should a personal recipient answer a call? Each Telecom will

announce its own unique number when calling, to enable the person who

takes the call to recognize where it is from. Telecom can alternatively

announce the name of the person who owns Telecom if that has been recorded

into it. The person who takes the call must press a key on their telephone

(any digit from 0 to 9), otherwise your Telecom will think that the call has

not been properly answered and will try another number.

Different types of alarm.

Telecom will even call different

numbers depending on the type of alarm. If, for example,

you press an alarm button then Telecom might be set to call

your friend next door. However, if one of your smoke detectors

is set off, and your Telecom is configured to detect this, then

Telecom might be set to call the response center first.
