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 an alarm receiving centre or a telephone.
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 recipient.
The device has two basic operating modes:
1. The TA72 is part of a carephone system that consists of an alarm receiving centre that can
be reached at any time and the device itself. Calls are sent to this alarm receiving centre.
2. If the TA72 is operated as a standalone device, 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 numbers or
IP addresses). When an emergency call is sent and if the call to the first number is not
successful, the TA72 will try the next number. If the final number has been dialled
unsuccessfully, the device starts with the first number again and continues until it sends
an emergency call successfully. A single programmed number will be tried 12 times.
The maximum number of dial attempts is set to 15 attempts.
NOTE
This device must be tested weekly. See section 8.5 "Test instructions".
