Friends&Family Auto Dial Plus User manual
1
The Friends & Family Auto Dial Plus is designed to give a little
reassurance for those living alone and their loved ones.
Sitting alongside your existing telephone, the main unit dials up to three user-
programmed numbers when alerted with the supplied call button. Trying each number
sequentially, once the Friends & Family Auto Dial Plus receives a human response, two
way communication, similar to a normal telephone, commences between whoever has
pressed the pendant button and the receiver of the call.
With a generous 50 metre range, the unit is supplied with one pendant and all the required
telephone and power leads. For added safety, a warning signal is played when pendant
batteries are low and the main unit can be protected against power cuts using batteries.
Please follow the instructions below to ensure your Friends &
Family Auto Dial Plus is correctly set up.
HOW TO CONNECT THE POWER AND TELEPHONE LINE
Open the white cover at the top of your Friends & Family Auto Dial Plus base station and you will be able to see a socket for a DC power adaptor and a
telephone plug socket. Insert the black power adaptor into the power socket. Take the white telephone cable and insert the smaller, clear plug into the grey
socket on the back of your Friends & Family Auto Dial Plus and insert the larger white plug into your home telephone socket.

the rear of your Friends & Family Auto Dial Plus observing the correct polarity of the batteries. Turn on your Friends & Family Auto Dial Plus by pushing the

HOW THE AUTO DIAL PLUS WORKS
In an emergency press the round button on the pendant and it will alert your Friends & Family Auto Dial Plus base station to start dialling your three
emergency numbers. It will call each number for 45 seconds before it moves onto the next number. It will keep dialling the three emergency numbers until a
call is answered.
When the receiver answers the call from your Friends & Family Auto Dial Plus they will hear your emergency message and will need to press 5 on their
telephone keypad to accept the call. Once the receiver has completed this action 2-way communication will commence between the receiver and the caller
through your Friends & Family Auto Dial Plus pendant. Once the call is accepted and answered your Friends & Family Auto Dial Plus base station will cease
dialling.
! IMPORTANT !
To ensure your telephone line remains open for emergency calls, the Friends & Family Auto Dial Plus will
end any call after 3 minutes of communication. The receiver of the call will hear three beeps before this
happens and can extend the call by pressing any key.
At the end of an emergency call the telephone line will remain open/engaged for up to three minutes.
ABOUT THE OUT OF RANGE ALERT
Should your pendant move out of range it will beep twice and two way communication will cease. Once you are back within range, press the round button
on the pendant and communication will resume.
Please note that the out of range alert alarm will sound if your base station is turned off. To disable this function, press the ON/OFF button for three
seconds. The pendant will beep once to conrm the function has been disabled. Should you wish to enable this function again, press the ON/OFF button for
three seconds and the pendant will beep twice to conrm the function has been enabled.
ABOUT THE PENDANT BATTERY
The pendant has a built in rechargeable lithium-ion battery. If a red light remains on and a beep sounds every 5 seconds, the battery is low and needs to be
charged using the provided USB charging cable. When charging the pendant a green light will show. Once the pendant is fully charged the green light will
turn off and no light will be shown.
Please ensure your Friends & Family Auto Dial Plus pendant is charged, uninterrupted, for 10 hours before first use.
