At-Home Alarm Unit

1.1 IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The users telephone MUST BE connected to the Reach  TEL socket – a double adapter on the incoming
line must not be used.

If the user has extension telephones care should be taken to ensure that these are also connected via the
Reach  TEL socket.

Failure to connect the users telephones as described above may cause difficulties with alarm calls – if in
doubt seek advice.

If the user has a DECT telephone the base station MUST BE at least 2 metres away from the Reach.

Failure to provide this separation may result in reduced range of personal pendants or other radio devices.

REN 1

All telephone equipment has a Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) which is used to calculate the number of
items that can be connected to a single telephone line.

A REN of 4 is the maximum allowed on a standard UK telephone line - the Reach has a REN of 1

If the REN total of all equipment connected to a telephone line exceeds 4 the equipment may not operate

correctly. With different types of equipment there is no guarantee of correct operation even if the REN is

less than 4. Typically 1 or 2 standard telephones (REN 1) can be used with the Reach.

Avoid using strong detergents or polish when cleaning the Reach unit or Touch pendant.

Wipe clean with a damp cloth and polish with a dry duster.
