2 Features
The Carephone 52+ has been designed to ensure maximum
security for persons living in their own homes.
The Carephone 52+ can be used to send emergency calls
over the telephone network.
The person requiring emergency assistance activates a call by
pressing a button on the Carephone 52+ or by using a radio but-
ton. This action establishes a telephone connection between
the person requiring assistance and the emergency call
receiver, enabling information to be exchanged and emergency
assistance measures to be initiated.
In addition, the Carephone 52+ can be used in conjunction with
other supported detectors.
The device has two basic operating modes:
1. The Carephone 52+ forms part of a social alarm system that
consists of a call centre that can be reached at any time
and the Carephones. Emergency calls are sent to this call
centre.
2. The unit is operated as a standalone unit, in which case
emergency calls will be sent to private phones.
The Carephone 52+ provides connections for an external micro-
phone and an external loudspeaker, and can be connected to
up to 10 radio buttons. A signalling device can also be con-
nected for persons with speech/hearing difficulties.
The unit can also be programmed to initiate service calls
(e.g. "meals on wheels") at the touch of a button.
