1 INTRODUCTION

The FX-3850 is a comfort phone with extensive functions to support
especially people with impaired hearing or sight.

Sight support:

- Big keys with contrasting numbers.

- Illuminated display with big characters.

- Also spoken support at pressing the keys and during set up.

- Possibility to record the concerning name with memory numbers.
These will be spoken when searching the memory.

Hearing support:

- Extra loud ring.

- Adjustable handset volume.

- Activation hearing aids.

Beside these extensive phone functions, the FX-3850 offers the possibility
to call a number of people, up to 30, automatically in case you need help.

- Alarm activation directly on the phone or through the included remote
control.

- The people that have been determined by you will be called, in the
order as indicated by you.

- If the emergency call is not answered, the next person will be called.

- Automatic enabling of the loudspeaker function.

3

So if you need help, and you press the red ‘SOS’ button on your phone,
or the red ‘SOS’ button on the remote control, these people will be called
one-by-one, and they will hear your recorded emergency message.

As soon as a called person actually responds, they can enable the
handsfree function of your phone remotely, and where possible consult
with and arrange help.

This way you do not depend on ofcial emergency centers, with their

monthly subscription fees, and you can also call for help for less urgent
issues.

See also chapter 5. Programming the memory numbers is discussed here.
You can indicate with each number whether or not this number shall be
called in case of an emergency. You can also indicate the order here. You
can change these settings always (see chapter 5.6).

7.4 Silent alarm on or silent alarm off:

Depending on your situation, you can set the FX-3850 to silent alarm on or
silent alarm off. Read the descriptions below carefully, and determine the

kind of alarm that ts best with your situation.

Silent alarm off:

1. Firstly, a loud alarm tone sounds from the loudspeaker of your FX-3850
for 30 seconds. No emergency number is dialed yet, but maybe persons
in your direct vicinity can offer help.

2. After the local alarm, you hear that the rst emergency number is di­aled, and directly after that, you hear the emergency message. If the
called emergency number is busy or not at home, this emergency mes­sage is played for 1 minute before the next number is dialed.

3. In case the called emergency number answers and presses key 0, you
will have a handsfree sound connection for three minutes to discuss the
situation.

4. Depending on the situation, the care worker can enter a certain code
now; see for this paragraph 7.5.

32

Silent alarm on:

1. After pressing the red SOS key on the remote control or on the phone
for more than one second, the rst emergency number is dialed IMME­DIATELY. So NO local alarm will sound.

2. You do not hear that a number is dialed, and you do NOT hear that your
emergency message is played.

3. If the called emergency number is busy or not at home, the next emer­gency number is called.

4. In case the called emergency number answers, they shall enter the
code 0-1-2 or 0-1-6. At that moment, a handsfree audio connection
is established, and you can discuss your situation, or the called care
worker can listen to the situation at your home.

5. Depending on the situation, the care worker can enter a follow-up code;
see for this the next paragraph.

Enabling or disabling the silent alarm:
Press the key MENU 10 times.
display: [QUIET SETTING]

Press the key OK; the display will show
[QUIET ON] or [QUIET OFF].

Choose the desired alarm, and press the key
OK.
Return to the idle mode of the phone

10x

33

7.5 Codes:

Depending on the type alarm and the situation, the care worker shall enter
the following codes through the keyboard of the phone (*). It is wise to
inform the concerning care worker(s) about these codes beforehand, and
arrange them with them.

When the silent alarm is off:
0 The care worker shall press key 0, to establish an audio connection

between their phone and yours; now you situation can be discussed
for at most 3 minutes.

If the care worker does not enter any code after this, the connection
is terminated, and the next emergency number is dialed.

However, the care worker can also choose from the following follow­up codes:
1-2: - The connection is terminated after an audio connection of

3 minutes.

- The emergency state is ended; NO next emergency num­ber is dialed.

1-2-* - The connection is terminated after an audio connection of

3 minutes.

- The next emergency number is dialed.

*: Pay attention that this shall be a DTMF or tone phone (you hear tones

when you press a number key).

34

1-2-# - The connection is terminated immediately after pressing the

key #.

- The emergency state is ended; NO next emergency num­ber is dialed.

1-6 - The audio connection stays open CONTINUOUSLY.
1-6-# - The audio connection stays open continuously, until the

care worker presses key #.

- The emergency state is ended; NO next emergency num­ber is dialed.

When the silent alarm is on:
0-1-2 There is an audio connection between you and the care worker for

a maximum of 3 minutes.

If the care worker does not enter a code after this, the connection
is terminated, and the emergency situation is ended. So NO next
emergency number is dialed.

However, the care worker can also choose from the following fol­low-up codes:
* - The connection is terminated immediately.

- The next emergency number is dialed.

# - The connection is terminated immediately.

- The emergency state is ended; NO next emergency number is
dialed.

35

0-1-6 A continuous audio connection is established between you and the

care worker; the care worker only has follow-up code # at their dis­posal:
# - The connection is terminated immediately.

- The emergency state is ended; NO next emergency number is
dialed.

7.6 Important tips:

Emergency numbers:
* In case of an emergency, only the numbers that you have set as emer-

gency numbers will be dialed.

* When no numbers have been programmed in the memory or have been

set as emergency numbers, only the local and loud alarm signal on your
own phone will sound for 30 seconds. When [silent alarm] is enabled,
the FX-3850 will not respond at all).

* The numbers that you have programmed under the direct memory keys

M1 and M2, are NOT dialed in an emergency situation.

Emergency message:
* The maximum duration of your emergency message is 20 seconds.

Prepare this text on paper rst, and record it calmly.

* It is important to include your name and the instruction to accept the

emergency calls by dialing the number 0 in the emergency message.
Only then a handsfree connection can be established between your
phone and the phone of the called person; in case you have enabled
the function [silent alarm], the care worker shall press 0-1-2 or 0-1-6 to
establish an audio connection.

36

Remote control:
* You can only enable the alarm function through the remote control if you

are within reach of the phone bent.

* It is advisable to check the functioning of the remote control regularly.

Do not forget to pick up the handset of your phone and put it down
again within 30 seconds, when ‘silent alarm off, in order to disable the
alarm again. At silent alarm, you can see on the display that a number
is dialed. Pick up the handset to disable the alarm.

* Separate remote controls are available from the FYSIC customer ser-

vice, at phone number 073 6411 355 (The Netherlands), 03 238 5666
(Belgium), or through the internet at WWW.FYSIC.COM. You can regis­ter up to 5 remote controls. In paragraph 9.7 is described how you can
register additional remote controls on the phone.

37

Follow-up alarm:
* Inform everybody of whom you have set their phone numbers as emer-

gency numbers, of your alarm phone, and how to respond in case of an
emergency. Discuss the possible codes, so that your care worker knows
which code to use best in your situation:

0-1-2 3 minutes audio connection; after that the alarm state is

ended.

0-1-2-* The connection is terminated immediately after pressing *;

after this, the next emergency number is dialed.

8.6 Tips for & specifications of the call list:

- If the network supports this, or if you have programmed this number
together with a name in the phone book memory of the phone, this
name is also shown on the display. If you have recorded a name, this
name is also spoken.

- For correctly displaying the name from the phone memory, it is of
importance that the programmed phone number is identical to the
number from which you receive the call, so including the area code.

- If the display shows [PRIVATE], the subscriber has blocked the
transmission of name and number.

- If the text [NEW CALL PROTECT] appears when deleteing the call list,
the call list still contains calls that you have not seen yet. You can delete
all calls, after you have read them.

10 WARNINGS AND USER TIPS

10.1 System check:

• It is of great importance that you regularly test the alarm function of the

remote control(s) and of the phone, preferably once a month, at a xed

time. At this, take care that the red indicator light on the remote control
illuminates clearly (if the indicator light illuminates weakly, replace the
battery). Do not forget to inform the called people that it concerns a test.

10.2 General:

• Carefully read the user’s manual and follow all directions.

• Always remove the telephone plug from the adapter from the wall sock­et before cleaning the device.

• Never install or use the telephone in wet or moist rooms or environ­ments. This does not apply to the waterproof remote control.

• Ensure adequate heat dissipation; never cover the telephone nor place
it directly next to a heat source.

• Take care of proper heat dissipation; never cover the phone and/or the
power supply adapter(s), and do not place them directly beside a heat
source. Use only the included adapter(s); connecting another type of
adapter may cause damage to the electronics.

• Take care that the cable of the phone and the adapter do not get dam­aged, and prevent that they cause tripping or falling.

• Never dismantle the phone and/or the power adapter. This may only be

done by qualied personnel.

51

10.3 Installation:

• Connect or disconnect the cables of the phone and the phone supply
adapter only to the base station when the power supply adapter has
been unplugged from the mains socket, and the phone connector has
been disconnected from the phone socket.

• Do not install the phone during a lightning storm.

• Do not install a phone connection point in a wet or moist environment.

• Do not touch uninsulated phone or adapter cables, unless they are dis­connected from the phone network or the mains power.

10.4 Placement:

• The phone is powered by a power adapter. A 230 Volt mains socket
shall be available at the location where the phone is placed.

• Preferably, do not place the device on surfaces that have been treated
with cellulose; the rubber feet can leave traces on these.

• Do not place the phone in the direct vicinity of other phones or other
electronic (medical) devices, TL tubes and other gas discharge lamps;
The emitted radio waves of these products may interfere with the re­ceipt of the alarm signal of the remote control.

10.5 Mains power failure:

• In case of failure of the mains voltage, batteries (if inserted) support the
complete functioning of this phone, including alarm function, for more
than 12 hours (depending on the type and quality of the batteries).

52

10.6 Remote control:

• The remote control range is up to 50 meters in the open eld. This

range depends on local circumstances.

• For an optimal range, the phone shall be placed centrally at your prem­ises or home. There shall be the least possible interference by steel

constructions, walls, oors, etc.

10.7 Battery warning:

• As soon as the symbol illuminates on the display, the batteries shall be
replaced. See paragraph 2.2 concerning inserting/replacing batteries.

- Always replace all batteries at the same time.

- Insert only equal alkaline batteries of 1.5Volt.

- You can not use rechargeable batteries for this phone, because of

their lower voltage.

- The memories and the recorded names and messages are stored in

ash memory chips that do not need backup power supply. So these

memories are not deleted when the batteries are empty.

10.8 Callingthroughahome-orofceswitchboard:

• We advise against to connect this alarm phone after a home or ofce

switchboard, at which a 0 of or other initial digits shall be dialed for an
outside line.
The reason for this is that it is often not necessary to dial this 0 during a
failure of the voltage, but that the phone does dial this 0. This results in an
incorrect connection.

53

10.9 Hearingamplication/hearingaids(HAC):

• The handset of this phone is suitable for wearers of hearing aids (inte­grated ring coil).

10.10 Environment:

• The packaging of this telephone can be collected as old paper. However,
we recommend you to save it, to adequately protect the phone during
transport.

• You shall dispose of faulty or exhausted batteries at your local depot for
small chemical waste, or at the specially designated battery collection
points. Never dispose of batteries with the household waste.

• At the end of the product’s life span, it must not be disposed of as

normal domestic waste. You must bring it to a collection point for
the recycling of electric and electronic equipment.

10.11 Maintenance:

• Only clean the baby monitor with a moist cloth; never use chemical clean­ers. Before any cleaning, you must disconnect the adapters.

• Before cleaning, any connected power adaptors must be disconnected.

54

11 POSSIBLE PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS

The phone doesn’t do
anything/cannot dial
numbers.

Check the connections with the phone socket
and the power adapter.
Check whether the batteries have been insert­ed and are full.

Poor or no readability
of the display.

Check the connection with the power adapter
and check whether the batteries have been
inserted and are full.

Check the setting for the contrast of the display
(see paragraph 9.1).

Cannot issue an
alarm through the
remote control.

You are out of reach of the phone. Shorten the
distance: Check the batteries of the remote
control (does the red indicator light illuminate
properly when pressing the SOS-key?).

No numbers are di­aled in an emergency
situation.

No numbers have been programmed in the
phone book memory, or these numbers have
not been set as ‘emergency numbers’.

Weak handsfree
sound.

The volume control (at the right side of the
phone) is set at a low level. Increase the vol­ume.

55

No voice assistance
with the memories
and programming.

You have disabled it (see paragraph 9.4).
The volume is too low; increase it (see the slid­ing control at the right side of the phone.

Your phone does not
respond to the codes
that the called person
shall enter to accept
your emergency call.

The called person has a pulse phone that is
based on the dialer principle (rattling sound
in the handset when dialing a number). The
FX-3850 responds only to the tones of a tone
phone (u hear tones when you dial a number)

An alert tone sounds
from the phone every
10 seconds.

The connection with the carrier is lost. Check
the connections. If needed, plug in another
phone to check the phone socket.

If the problem cannot be solved by the aforementioned possible soluti­ons, disconnect the power adapter and the phone cable form the phone,
and remove the batteries (de memories will be kept during this powerless
state). Connect all after more than 20 minutes again.
