1. Check that the Voice Test Call message and at least one phone number has been programmed into the
Communicator.
2. Check whether you wish all or some programmed telephone numbers to receive such Voice Test Call message
(default is all numbers).
3. Check whether you wish the telephone numbers to receive a Voice Test Call Message only or an SMS as well as a
Voice Test Call Message (default is a Voice Test Call Message only). If you wish any telephone numbers to receive
an SMS stating “Test”, program such numbers to receive an SMS as well (see Page 5).

to indicate that the Communicator has answered. The Communicator’s display will read “Call In”.

numbers will then shortly receive an SMS first (if programmed to receive the same) followed by a Voice Test Call
message.
OTHER USEFUL INFORMATION
HOW TO TEST THE GSM NETWORK SIGNAL STRENGTH:
Whilst the Communicator is in the OFF mode (enter 4 digit code, default 1234 + ESC key), press ENTER to display the
network reception quality on the LCD display. A number between 0 and 7 will appear. The strongest reception quality is 7.
The Communicator should only be installed in a location where the signal strength display shows 2 or above. Move the
Communicator to a different location if the number is 1 or below. You can continue to check the network reception
strength at any time provide the Communicator is in the OFF mode. Note that you can also check signal strength by calling
the Communicator and entering your code + 7 once it has answered. The Communicator will then send an SMS with
current signal strength to Phone No 1 as programmed.
HOW TO CHANGE THE BACK-UP BATTERY (IF USED):
Important: It is recommended to change the back-up battery pack at least once a year, even if not low.
1. First make sure that the Communicator is OFF. Then release it from the wall.
2. Remove the battery door and remove the old battery. Re-insert a new 9V BATTERY (Lithium recommended).
3. Re-fit the battery door and hang the Communicator back on the wall.
Note of Caution:
1. Do not mount the Communicator in areas that are exposed to extreme heat or moisture, as this could adversely
affect the performance of the system.
2. Use only a damp cloth and general household cleaning agent to wipe the unit clean. Do not use turpentine,
thinners, gasoline or similar substances to clean the unit.
