switel Vita SOS CT8 User manual

Description
The SWITEL Vita SOS CT8 is an emergency call device with built-in fall detection and
GPS module. The connection is established via the mobile network. Setting and
monitoring are done via a previously defined smartphone or tablet (Android or iOS).
The SOS key and 2 additional direct call buttons allow the user to connect to the
preset numbers in a case of emergency.
In the event of a user’s fall, a notification SMS is sent.

this area, a message will be sent and an alarm tone will sound on the Vita SOS CT8.
