Using your distress alert system
If you need to activate your system, press the
‘Yale’ button, either on a keyfob or the main unit.
The system will beep 10 times, then, after a short
delay, will automatically dial the preset numbers
in the order that you set them (beginning with the
telephone number you assigned to button 1). The
speaker on the main unit will playback your pre-
recorded message repeatedly. Each number will
be dialled 5 times, with each call lasting 45 seconds
if not acknowledged.
If you accidentally press the ‘Yale’ button and activate
the system, you can cancel the alert by switching
the main unit OFF and then back ON. After the red
light goes out, the system is ready to use.
Instructions for your nominated contacts
When any of your nominated contacts receives a
call, they will hear your recorded message being
played repeatedly. To acknowledge the call they
must press any number on their telephone keypad.
This will then activate a 2-way communication with
you. If you are near the main unit you will be able to
speak to them via the built in speaker/ microphone
(if you are too far from the main unit, the microphone
may not pick up your voice).
The 2-way communication will last for 50 seconds
before 3 warning beeps indicate that the call will
end within 10 seconds. To extend the call for a
further 60 seconds, your nominated contact should
press any number on their telephone keypad. After
the call is ended the system is ready to use.
Testing your system
To ensure your system is set up correctly, test it
fully before using. Ensure your nominated contacts
are aware that you are testing, and then activate, to
check all functions. If your system doesn’t work,
rst check all connections and then reset using the
‘reset procedure’. Then work through the ‘set-up’
procedure again.
This is a wireless system with a limited transmission
range. Try triggering your keyfob(s) in different parts
of your house. Doors, walls and other wireless
equipment may reduce the range. Make a note of
where the signal cannot be consistently received
by the main unit and do not use keyfob(s) in these
areas.
Reset procedure
Resetting keyfob programming
To reset keyfob ID codes, change the 4 ‘dip
switches’ (found underneath the cover) to another
random combination. Next, turn the main unit OFF,
then ON and wait for the static red light. Press
the ‘Yale’ button on any keyfob 3 times to clear all
programming.
