you via the home unit to advise you that the unit is about to be

not need to do anything other than keep the noise level to a
minimum. Once the unit has been programmed the operator will
speak to you to confirm this.

generates a call through to the monitoring centre. The monitoring
centre operator will welcome you to the service and check they
have your correct contact details.
You will also need to test the pendant by pressing its red button
and ensuring a call is generated and received at the monitoring
centre. We advise that the pendant is tested from several points in
your home and garden so that you are able to establish the range of
the system in your home.

Once successfully tested, the Tunstall Home system is ready to use.

“It’s fantastic to know that my dad has instant
support when he needs it. I call and visit as often as I
can but I don’t live close by and I can’t be there all the
time. Tunstall Home means I know he’s never alone
and can really easily get in touch with someone at
any time of day.”Jane
