1 Safety instructions
– Do not install the unit near a heating appliance.
– Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight.
– Do not install in a wet or humid environment.
– Never touch the power adapter with wet hands.
– Do not attempt to open the unit or the power adapter.
– When unplugging the unit from the power outlet, never pull on the power cord but
always grip the power adapter.
– Connect the TA72 only to a professionally installed 230V AC /50 Hz power outlet with a
16 A fuse near the TA72.
– Do not install the TA72 in the proximity of DECT/GSM telephones, TV sets, large metal
objects, microwave appliances or radio telephones. This will impair the reception of
signals from the wireless transmitter.
– Use only original equipment for cables and power supply. Any other power adapter
could damage the unit.
– Use the unit only in the intended country where it has been delivered.
– Electrolytes or gases may be emitted from the battery should it leak under exceptional
circumstances. If this happens, deactivate the unit by isolating it from the network and
power supply. Battery replacement must be carried out by trained service personnel
only.
– Comply with your national regulations, guidelines and requirements for the disposal of
end-of-life electrical equipment and batteries.
– Repairs should only be performed by an authorized service partner.
– Be sure to allow the required space around the device. The TA72 must be easily
accessible.
– The wireless transmitter provided with the TA72 contains a button cell battery. If the
button cell battery is swallowed, it can cause severe internal burns in just 2 hours and
can lead to death. Keep new and used batteries away from children. If the battery
compartment does not close securely, stop using the product and keep it away from
children. If you think batteries might have been swallowed or placed inside any part of
the body, seek immediate medical attention.
Electrostatic discharge
DANGER!
Read through the safety instructions carefully before using the unit for the first time. This is
important for connection, use and safety.
WARNING!
The TA72 contains highly sensitive electronic components. It should be opened only in an
ESD protected environment with respect to the following precautions. Discharge yourself
from electrostatic loads by touching a grounded conductive surface before opening the unit.

2 Features
The TA72 has been designed to ensure maximum security for persons living in their own
homes or in locations where assistance could be needed. It can be used to send
emergency calls to a monitoring centre or a private phone.
The person requiring assistance activates a call by pressing a button on the TA72 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 TA72 is part of a social alarm system that consists of a monitoring centre that can
be reached at any time and the device 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 TA72 can be used with up to 10 wireless transmitters.
The TA72 is able to store up to 10 different destination numbers (telephone number or IP
address). When an emergency call is sent and if the call to the first number is not
successful, the TA72 will try the next numbers. If the last number has been dialed
unsuccessfully, the unit starts with the first number again and continues until it either sends
an emergency call successfully. A single programmed number will be tried 12 times. The
maximum number of dial attempts can be set. By default, it is set to 15 attempts. See the
Reference Manual for more information.
CAUTION!
This unit shall be tested weekly. See Section 8.4 Test instructions.

5 Installation
5.1 Installation recommendations
– Place the TA72 on a flat and non-slippery surface.
– Do not cover the microphone (right-front side of the unit) and the loudspeaker (top of
the unit).
– Dependent on the configuration of the device, alarms will be send via the telephone line
or IP network.
– The TA72 must be connected with the original power supply.
– To send an alarm, at least one alarm receiver (a monitoring centre or a private phone)
must be programmed.
– The power supply of the TA72 must placed at least 10 cm away from the device.
– The power supply must be plugged into a wall socket in the proximity of the TA72 and
must remain easily accessible at all times.
– Construction materials affect the range of the device. For example, concrete walls with
steel reinforcements hamper the radio signal more than a brick wall.
– Location of the TA72 affects the range of the transmitter. The best place to locate it is a
central room.
5.2 Placing the TA72
