2 Features
The Carephone 62 has been designed to ensure maximum
security for persons living in their own homes. It can be used to
send emergency calls to a receiver or a telephone.
The person requiring assistance activates a call by pressing a
button on the Carephone 62 or by using a wireless transmitter.
This action establishes a voice connection between the person
requiring assistance and the call receiver.
The device has two basic operating modes:
1. The Carephone 62 is part of a social alarm system that
consists of a monitoring centre that can be reached at any
time and the Carephone itself. Calls are sent to this
monitoring centre.
2. The unit is operated as a standalone unit, in which case
emergency calls will be sent to private phones.
The Carephone 62 provides connections for an external
microphone and an external loudspeaker, as well as wired input
and output, and a microSD memory card. It can be used with up
to 10 wireless transmitters. A signaling device can also be
connected for individuals with speech/hearing difficulties.
microSD Logo is a trademark of SD-3C, LLC.
CAUTION!
No user serviceable parts inside.
This unit should be tested weekly.

5 Installation
5.1 Installation recommendations
– Place the unit on a flat and non-slippery surface.
– Do not install on soft surfaces as this impairs voice quality.
– Do not cover the microphone (right-hand side of the unit).
– Alarms are not sent if the telephone line or the IP
connection are out of order.
– The Carephone must be connected with the power supply.
– To send an alarm, at least one alarm receiver (a monitoring
centre or a private phone) and the subscriber number
must be programmed.
– The power adaptor of the Carephone 62 must placed at
least 10 cm away.
– When using the Carephone 62 with a GSM gateway, place
them at least 1 m from each other.
– When using wireless speakers next to the Carephone 62,
place them at least 4 m away. Be aware that some
loudspeakers, if they use the same frequency as the
Carephone 62, could influence the radio reception.
– Construction materials affect the range of the transmitter.
For example, concrete walls with steel reinforcements
hamper the radio signal more than a brick wall.
– Location of the Carephone 62 affects the range of the
transmitter. The best place to locate it is a central room.
5.2 Placing the Carephone 62
Placing on a surface
The Carephone 62 is designed for use at home. Many items of
