Mitel 700 DECT Phone User Guide
30
The alarm to be signalled is always the first alarm type to be recognized. Activated sensor alarms
are displayed using the symbol on the first line of the display. To check which alarm is activated,
use the Active features menu (among others).
Make sure the DECT phone is worn on a belt clip, or carry-strap, etc., and not in a pocket, to
ensure that the feature can operate reliably.
Mandown
The DECT phone is normally worn more or less vertically (e.g., attached directly to the wearer’s
belt clip). A position check is carried out continuously to verify that the DECT phone is still in the
vertical position. If the DECT phone is detected as being at a certain (adjustable) angle from the
vertical, an alarm is triggered after a pre-definable amount of time as this may indicate an
emergency.
No movement alarm
This alarm is triggered if the DECT phone has been completely still for a user-definable amount
of time (no movement by the DECT phone or the person carrying the DECT phone). The sensor
has three sensitivity settings. To guarantee a reliable operation it is advisable to test the sensitivity
of the no movement alarm with the person to be monitored. The no movement alarm is switched
off whenever the handset is being charged in the charger cradle or via the USB socket.
Escape alarm
The escape alarm is triggered if the sensor detects violent DECT phone movements for
user-definable period of time. As with the No movement alarm, the sensor has three sensitivity
settings. To guarantee a reliable operation it is advisable to test the sensitivity of the escape
alarm with the person to be monitored.
There is a setting for each alarm type to activate / deactivate the sensor supervision in an active
call (Alarm in conversation).
ALARM TIME SETTINGS
All settings can be found in the ••• > Security > Alarm Sensor menu.
Alarm times are structured as follows.
Delay
The period of time that begins after the trigger event (Mandown, No movement, Escape). If the
trigger event is withdrawn for at least 2 seconds during this time, the delay restarts (in the case
of the No movement alarm, and also with any key-press, as of Release 4.01). The delay can be
set separately for each alarm type.
Pre-alarm
The period of time during which an alarm tone—where activated—is signalled on the DECT
phone before the alarm number is dialed. To deactivate the alarm tone (and therefore deactivate
the alarm), you must press the Esc softkey. During the pre-alarm, the display reading indicates
the amount of time remaining before the alarm number is dialed.
If during the pre-alarm the triggering event is withdrawn for at least 4 seconds in the case of
Mandown, and for at least 2 seconds in the case of the No movement alarm, the Delay starts
again.
The Escape alarm can only be cancelled using the Esc softkey.
