1. INTRODUCTION

The MCT-212 GS is a miniature waterproof transmitter,
designed for home health care signaling. In the event of an
emergency, help can be summoned at the press of the
transmitter button.
All MCT-212 GS units are supplied with a wrist band and neck
strap. They can be worn on the wrist or around the neck.
The LED lights during a transmission to indicate a good battery.
If the LED flashes during a transmission, this means that the
battery is low and must be replaced immediately. Anytime the
MCT-212 GS is pressed when the battery is low, a trouble signal
will automatically be sent to the Base Unit.
To alert you of the trouble, a red LED will flash and a trouble
message will appear on the display of the Base Unit. All troubles
are reported to the Monitoring Center.
The transmitter case is waterproof, hermetically sealed (no
screws) and therefore disposable. Do not attempt to open the
transmitter case or replace the battery; such action will void the
warranty.

ENROLLMENT 2. TEST, MAINTENANCE &

2.1 Enrolling Transmitters

In order for a transmitter to function, its ID must be enrolled
into the Base Unit. The Transmitter ID is a 6 character code
(ex: EB1772) that can be found both on the unit’s package
and on the reverse side of the unit. To enroll a transmitter,
provide central station (either by telephone or by fax) of the
Transmitter ID.

2.2 Initial Test

Upon pressing the transmit button, the Base Unit will sound
and display simultaneously a message of calling for help.

This indicates that the transmitter is working properly.

Note: If for any reason the MCT-212 GS does not result in the
above response from the Base Unit, please contact the
central station and verify the Transmitter ID located both on
the unit's package and on the reverse side of the transmitter
beneath the wrist band.

1. INTRODUCCIÓN

El MCT-212 GS es un transmisor en miniatura sumergible,
diseñado para velar por su salud en el hogar. En caso de
emergencia, le pueden prestar ayuda con sólo presionar el
botón del transmisor.
Todos los MCT-212 GS incluyen una pulsera para muñeca y
una correa para el cuello. Se pueden colocar en la muñeca o
alrededor del cuello.
Los LED lucen durante una transmisión para indicar un buen
nivel de batería. Si el LED parpadea durante una transmisión,
significa que la batería es baja y debe ser reemplazada
inmediatamente. En cualquier momento que se presione el
MCT-212 GS con la batería baja, una señal de problema se
enviará automáticamente a la Unidad Base.
Para alertarle de un problema, el LED rojo parpadeará y un
mensaje de error aparecerá en la pantalla de la Unidad Base.
Todos los mensajes de problema se reportan al Centro de
Monitoreo.
La caja del transmisor es impermeable y herméticamente
cerrada (sin tornillos) y por lo tanto desechable. No intente
abrir la carcasa del transmisor o cambiar la batería; dicha
acción anulará la garantía.

2. TEST, MANTENIMIENTO Y
MEMORIZACIÓN

2.1 Cómo memorizar transmisores

Para que un transmisor funcione, su identificador (ID) debe
ser memorizado en la Unidad Base. El identificador de un
transmisor es un código de 6 caracteres (ej. EB1772) que se
puede encontrar en el embalaje de la unidad o en el reverso
de la propia unidad. Para memorizar un transmisor, provea a

supervisión de la estación central (por teléfono o fax) del ID

del transmisor.

2.2 Test Inicial

Cuando presione el botón del transmisor, la Unidad Base
emitirá el sonido y el mensaje en su pantalla pidiendo ayuda.

Esto indica que el transmisor está funcionando
correctamente.

Nota: Si por alguna razón el MCT-212 GS no responde como
hemos dicho previamente desde la Unidad Base, por favor,
contacte con la estación central y verifique el ID del
transmisor del envoltorio de la Unidad así como el del
reverso del transmisor bajo la pulsera para muñeca.

3. OBSERVACIONES GENERALES

Limitaciones del producto

Nuestros sistemas inalámbricos son muy fiables y se prueban
con los más altos estándares. Sin embargo, debido a su baja
potencia de transmisión y su alcance limitado (requerido por
las FCC y otras autoridades reguladoras), hay varias
considera- ciones a tener en cuenta:
A. Los receptores pueden ser bloqueados por señales de

radio con frecuencias cercanas a las de trabajo del equipo.

B. Un receptor únicamente puede recibir señales de una en

una.

C. Los equipos inalámbricos deben comprobarse

regularmente para determinar la existencia de fuentes de
interferencias y para protegerlo contra fallos.

4. ESPECIFICACIONES

Frecuencia (MHz): 315, 433,92, 868 o cualquier otra
frecuencia dependiendo de la legislación local.

Modulación: ASK (llave de encendido y apagado)
Identificación Digital del Transmisor: Más de 16 millones

de combinaciones posibles.

Duración de Transmisión: Hasta 2 segundos
Suministro de Corriente: Pila de litio de 3 voltios (de tipo

CR-2032 Sanyo o equivalente).

Expectativa de Vida de la Batería: 6 años (de uso típico)
¡Atención! Riesgo de explosión si la batería se sustituye por

una de tipo incorrecto. Deshágase de las baterías usadas
conforme a las instrucciones del fabricante.

Supervisión de la Batería:
Batería cargada- El diodo luminoso permanece encendido.

Nota: Si la transmisión es todavía posible a pesar de la mala
codición de la batería, el MCT-212 GS enviará una señal
codificada de “batería descargada” al receptor.

Temperatura de Funcionamiento: De 0°C a 50°C (32°F a
