Welcome
Welcome to the BT In Touch 2000
package
Many people welcome the peace of mind of
knowing that they and their loved ones are safe
and cared for. This gives them the confidence
to live their lives to the full.
If you, a friend, or a family member need a
little extra support - maybe because of age,
disability, illness or living alone, then the new
BT In Touch 2000 package may give you the
extra peace of mind you need.
With all the benefits of a modern phone, BT In
Touch also has a very special function - it acts
as an emergency communicator if the user
needs urgent help. At the touch of a button,
the user is automatically put in touch with the
selected people who are caring for them. The
Carer(s) are then sure that if help is needed,
they will be contacted - even if the user cannot
get to the phone.
Your BT In Touch 2000 package can be tailored
to meet your specific needs. You can choose
the level of support you would like, and you can
alter BT In Touch to suit your changing needs.
This user guide:
• tells you how to set up and test your
BT In Touch 2000 package;
• provides detailed descriptions of how your
BT In Touch 2000 package works in
everyday use and in an emergency;
• explains alternative Carer options and how
to set them up.
6
Welcome
The BT In Touch 2000 package comprises 2 BT
In Touch phones and a BT In Touch Pendant.
The User (that is, the person who may require
assistance) will use the BT In Touch 2000
User Phone and the BT In Touch Pendant;
the Carer (that is, the person to be contacted
in the event of an emergency) will use the BT
In Touch 2000c Carer Phone.
Emergency contact numbers
The BT In Touch 2000 User Phone should be
programmed with up to 3 emergency contact
numbers. These numbers can be:
• 3 different numbers for the same Carer, such
as home, work and mobile.
Or
• 3 different numbers for 3 different Carers,
such as son, brother and neighbour.

Welcome
Using the Emergency button
In the event of an emergency the User simply
presses the Emergency button on the BT In
Touch 2000 User Phone or BT In Touch
Pendant. This starts the emergency sequence,
confirmed by a flashing orange light on the
BT In Touch 2000 User Phone and a series of
beeps. The BT In Touch 2000 User Phone
then dials the first of the allocated emergency
contact numbers.
It will continue to call all 3 numbers in turn
until the ‘call for help’ is answered and the
3-digit code entered.
If the Carer’s number is engaged
If the Carer’s number is engaged, or the call
is taken by an answering machine, fax or
someone who does not know the 3-digit code,
the BT In Touch 2000 User Phone will continue
to call the next emergency number.
Carer receives the call
If the Carer is using the BT In Touch 2000c
Carer Phone and has subscribed to a Caller
Display network service, then they will be able
to distinguish between calls coming in from the
User and calls coming from other numbers, by
the flashing emergency light and beeping.
IMPORTANT
To benefit from all features of BT In Touch,
the Carer must subscribe to a Caller Display
network service.
The Carer also has the option to divert their
calls to another number, for instance to a mobile
phone. This means that even if they are not at
home when an emergency call comes in, they
will still be able to receive it. (To use this facility,
subscription to a Call Diversion service is
required.)
Once the emergency call has been answered,
the Carer will hear ‘Emergency call, emergency
call, please enter the 3-digit code’. (If they wish,
the User can include an extra personal
announcement.) The emergency sequence will
only stop when the Carer who has answered
the call enters the 3-digit security code (555)
or the User presses and holds down
the Cancel
button on their BT In Touch 2000 User Phone.
The BT In Touch 2000 User Phone will then
stop trying to call any of the other emergency
numbers.
Carer speaks to the User
The Carer can now speak to the User.
Because the User’s phone is in ‘handsfree’,
there is no need for the User to pick up the
handset as long as they are within hearing
distance of their BT In Touch 2000 User Phone.
Easier to hear the call when in ‘handsfree’
When in ‘handsfree’, BT In Touch phones have
an enhanced quality voice channel. This means
that both parties can speak and be heard at the
same time (see pages 35 and 60).
9
Welcome
During the emergency call, if there is a lot of
background noise at the BT In Touch 2000
User Phone, the Carer can press the 9 button.
This mutes the User’s voice so that only the
Carer can be heard. The Carer can then calm
the situation without any interference.
Amplifying the User’s voice
If the Carer is having difficulty in hearing the
User, for example, if the User is some distance
from their BT In Touch 2000 User Phone, the
Carer may wish to amplify the User’s voice.
This can be done by pressing the 7 button.
The Carer can then hear the User more clearly,
but the User will be unable to hear the Carer.
What to do next
Having assessed the situation, the Carer can
decide on the best thing to do. If the Carer
wishes to make another call immediately - for
instance to the emergency services or a doctor
- the special features of the BT In Touch 2000c
Carer Phone allow them to do so, even if the
User has not replaced their handset.
The Carer can also remotely clear the BT In
Touch 2000 User Phone and return it to an
‘idle’ state allowing the User to make further
calls, by pressing 6 ✱ ✱.
Arrangement of support for the User
Up to 3 BT In Touch 2000c Carer Phones can
be used to support one BT In Touch 2000 User
Phone, and up to 3 BT In Touch 2000 User
Phones can be supported by one BT In Touch
2000c Carer Phone. Also, up to 2 BT In Touch
Pendants can be used with each BT In Touch
2000 User Phone.
Whichever Carer responds to the emergency
call, the emergency code (555) will always
remain the same.
If you would like to purchase additional BT In
Touch Pendants, BT In Touch 2000 User
Phones or BT In Touch 2000c Carer Phones,
please call Freefone 0800 800 150.

User Phone & Pendant
Important
The BT In Touch 2000 package is only completely
operational once both phones, the BT In Touch
Pendant and certain network services have been
successfully installed and the whole system has been
tested. We recommend that you install the BT In
Touch 2000 User Phone and BT In Touch Pendant
first, and then install the BT In Touch 2000c
Carer Phone (having subscribed to a Caller
Display network service). You should then test the
complete system (once all emergency numbers have
been allocated - see ‘Giving emergency status to
numbers’ on page 22).
1 Plan where you will put your
BT In Touch 2000 User Phone
Ideally you should site the BT In Touch 2000
User Phone in the room where the User will
spend most of their time. This will ensure they
can hear the voice announcements, either during
normal use or in an emergency, and especially
when operating in ‘handsfree’. The phone should
be within 2 metres of a phone socket.
Warning
Your BT In Touch is only designed to operate in a
normal domestic environment, with the exception
of the BT In Touch Pendant which is waterproof.
2 Install (or replace) the batteries
You must fit the batteries supplied before you
attach the base stand for either raised or wallmounted positions.
Warning
Before installing (or replacing) the batteries, the
phone must be disconnected
from the phone line
and the mains power.
Setting up your BT In Touch 2000
User Phone
Please follow all the steps in the order shown.
17
User Phone & Pendant
Open the battery cover on the underside of
your BT In Touch 2000 User Phone. Insert the
6 x AA Alkaline batteries.
IMPORTANT
The batteries act as a stand-by power source in the
event of the mains power being disconnected. If at
any time you find that the battery power has been
used, you should immediately replace all existing
batteries with new batteries. This will ensure that
your phone has the maximum stand-by power time.
The batteries taken from your BT In Touch Phone
can then be used for any other electrical appliance
requiring battery power.
3 Connect the telephone
line cord
If you do not have a modern phone socket,
then you can call BT on Freefone 0800 800 150
and ask for a BT engineer to come and fit the
correct type. This is a chargeable service.
4 Select ringer volume
The ringer volume switch is on the underside
of your phone.
Set the volume of the ringer to High, Low
or Off.
This should be done before you attach the base
stand for either raised or wall mounted positions.
5 Select ringer tone
The ringer tone switch is on the underside of
your phone.
This switch allows you to select the pitch
required for the ringer.
R1: for a low-pitched tone
R2: for a medium-pitched tone
R3: for a high-pitched tone
This should be done before you attach the base
stand for raised or wall-mounted positions.

6 Connect the power cable
Plug the power cable into the socket on the
underside of your BT In Touch 2000 User
Phone as shown. The cable needs to be pressed
into its channel to keep it out of the way. The
way you do this will depend on how you have
positioned your phone (with or without the base
stand, wall-mounted or not). See ‘Desk and wall-
mounted phone positions’ on page 90.
Please note
The BT In Touch 2000 User Phone has 3 voice
prompts to indicate that mains power or the
telephone line has been disconnected or that the
battery power is low. These are:
“Telephone line disconnected”
“No mains power”
“Please change batteries”
You may hear these voice prompts when first setting
up your phone. This is perfectly normal and shows
the phone’s warning alerts are working.
7 Uncoil the pendant receiver aerial
The pendant receiver aerial which hangs from
the back of your BT In Touch 2000 User Phone
needs to be uncoiled.
Important
Please do not tamper with the pendant receiver aerial.
8 Positioning your BT In Touch
2000 User Phone
Your BT In Touch 2000 User Phone can be
positioned in 3 different ways:
Please note
Make sure you test your phone before you finally fix
it in position.
• Flat on a table or desk.
• Raised position on a table or desk using
the base stand.
19
User Phone & Pendant
• Wall-mounted using the base stand.
See ‘Desk and wall-mounted phone positions’ on
page 90.

Warning alerts
If you hear one of the emergency warning
alerts, such as “No mains power” ,“Please
change batteries” or “Telephone line
disconnected” then you must take the necessary
action to rectify the problem.
If you hear “No mains power”
The back-up batteries will automatically take
over for the duration of their battery life (up to
7 hours for new batteries). The mains power
should be reconnected as soon as possible and
the batteries replaced, if necessary.
If you hear “Please change batteries”
Replace the batteries in the BT In Touch 2000
User Phone as soon as possible. 6 x AA
Alkaline batteries are required, see ‘Install (or
replace) the batteries’ on page 16.
If you hear “Telephone line disconnected”
Return to the BT In Touch 2000 User Phone
and check whether the telephone line cord is
still connected to the socket. If disconnected,
then reconnect it immediately (see page 17).
If the telephone line cord is still connected,
then a line fault has occurred and you will need
to contact your network service provider (for
example, BT) as soon as possible.
Important
Before you can use your BT In Touch 2000
User Phone in an emer

You can only change a Quickdial memory

page 23.
To change a number stored in the memory,
repeat the process for storing numbers, but
enter the new number (see page 21). The new
number will automatically replace the old
number. Then give the number emergency
status if you wish it to be included in the
emergency sequence (see page 22).
999 Calls
Although the BT In Touch 2000 User phone will
accept “999” as a phone number which can be
allocated emergency status, it is not recommended.
BT strongly recommends that the Carer first
assesses the nature of the emergency call and then
rings the emergency services with the relevant
information. This ensures that only appropriate
calls are passed on to the emergency services.
“999” is not recommended as the 999 operator can
only connect you with Fire, Police or Ambulance
services which may not be appropriate. However, if
you do use 999 as an emergency number you
should ensure you use an appropriate emergency
announcement, for example:
“This is Mrs Jones, I request an ambulance to
number 1 Meadowside Cottages, Ipswich”.
When 999 is used, the phone will respond
differently to other emergency numbers, as 999 will
always be answered promptly. Your BT In Touch
2000 User phone will speak your announcement
just once before allowing you to speak with the
operator, if you are able to do so.
Once this call to the 999 operator has been
answered, the BT In Touch 2000 User phone will
NOT
subsequently attempt to contact any other
emergency contact telephone number.
25
User Phone & Pendant
Small, lightweight and waterproof, the BT In Touch
Pendant acts as a portable emergency button for the
BT In Touch 2000 User Phone. When pressed in an
emergency, the BT In Touch Pendant contacts the
BT In Touch 2000 User Phone which starts dialling
the stored emergency numbers.
In a non-emergency, the BT In Touch Pendant
button can be pressed to answer and end an
incoming call, enabling the User to hold a
‘handsfree’ conversation via the loudspeaker
on the phone.
The BT In Touch Pendant has a battery
life of about 4 years (based on 2 presses
a day) and a range of up to 50 metres
from the BT In Touch 2000 User Phone.
It has 3 interchangeable, detachable
mountings allowing it to be worn around
