BT In Touch

Welcome to the BT In Touch 2000 package

Many people welcome the peace of mind of knowing that they and their loved ones are safe and cared for. This gives them the confidence to live their lives to the full.

If you, a friend, or a family member need a little extra support - maybe because of age, disability, illness or living alone, then the new

BT In Touch 2000 package may give you the extra peace of mind you need.

With all the benefits of a modern phone, BT In

Touch also has a very special function - it acts as an emergency communicator if the user needs urgent help. At the touch of a button, the user is automatically put in touch with the selected people who are caring for them. The

Carer(s) are then sure that if help is needed, they will be contacted - even if the user cannot get to the phone.

Your BT In Touch 2000 package can be tailored to meet your specific needs. You can choose the level of support you would like, and you can alter BT In Touch to suit your changing needs.

This user guide:

• tells you how to set up and test your

BT In Touch 2000 package;

• provides detailed descriptions of how your

BT In Touch 2000 package works in everyday use and in an emergency;

• explains alternative Carer options and how to set them up.

5

How the BT In Touch 2000 package works

The BT In Touch 2000 package comprises 2 BT

In Touch phones and a BT In Touch Pendant.

The User (that is, the person who may require assistance) will use the BT In Touch 2000

User Phone and the BT In Touch Pendant ; the Carer (that is, the person to be contacted in the event of an emergency) will use the BT

In Touch 2000c Carer Phone .

Emergency contact numbers

The BT In Touch 2000 User Phone should be programmed with up to 3 emergency contact numbers. These numbers can be:

• 3 different numbers for the same Carer, such as home, work and mobile.

Carer Phone

The emergency light on the BT In

Touch 2000c Carer Phone begins to flash and beep and the Carer hears the message “Emergency call. Emergency call. Please enter the 3 digit code.”


User Phone

Carer and User speak ‘handsfree’ via the loudspeaker.

The Carer can clear the call and make an emergency call or further call, such as 999, at any time - even if the User has not ended the call.

The Carer must enter the

555 emergency code to speak to the User and stop the emergency sequence

BT In Touch Pendant button or Emergency button on the BT In Touch 2000

User Phone is pressed

The Emergency button begins to flash and beep and the User hears the message “Don’t worry, we are trying to contact help.”

Press

To amplify the Users voice via the loudspeaker

To mute the User’s voice and amplify the Carer’s voice, if background noise is interfering with the call.

7

Using the Emergency button

In the event of an emergency the User simply presses the Emergency button on the BT In

Touch 2000 User Phone or BT In Touch

Pendant. This starts the emergency sequence, confirmed by a flashing orange light on the

BT In Touch 2000 User Phone and a series of beeps. The BT In Touch 2000 User Phone then dials the first of the allocated emergency contact numbers.

It will continue to call all 3 numbers in turn until the ‘call for help’ is answered and the

3-digit code entered.

If the Carer’s number is engaged

If the Carer’s number is engaged, or the call is taken by an answering machine, fax or someone who does not know the 3-digit code, the BT In Touch 2000 User Phone will continue to call the next emergency number.

Carer receives the call

If the Carer is using the BT In Touch 2000c

Carer Phone and has subscribed to a Caller

Display network service, then they will be able to distinguish between calls coming in from the

User and calls coming from other numbers, by the flashing emergency light and beeping.

8

IMPORTANT

To benefit from all features of BT In Touch, the Carer must subscribe to a Caller Display network service.

The Carer also has the option to divert their calls to another number, for instance to a mobile phone. This means that even if they are not at home when an emergency call comes in, they will still be able to receive it. (To use this facility, subscription to a Call Diversion service is required.)

Once the emergency call has been answered, the Carer will hear ‘Emergency call, emergency call, please enter the 3-digit code’ . (If they wish, the User can include an extra personal announcement.) The emergency sequence will only stop when the Carer who has answered the call enters the 3-digit security code (555) or the User presses and holds down the Cancel button on their BT In Touch 2000 User Phone.

The BT In Touch 2000 User Phone will then stop trying to call any of the other emergency numbers.

Carer speaks to the User

The Carer can now speak to the User.

Because the User’s phone is in ‘handsfree’, there is no need for the User to pick up the handset as long as they are within hearing distance of their BT In Touch 2000 User Phone.

Easier to hear the call when in ‘handsfree’

When in ‘handsfree’, BT In Touch phones have an enhanced quality voice channel. This means that both parties can speak and be heard at the same time (see pages 35 and 60).

During the emergency call, if there is a lot of background noise at the BT In Touch 2000

User Phone, the Carer can press the 9 button.

This mutes the User’s voice so that only the

Carer can be heard. The Carer can then calm the situation without any interference.

Amplifying the User’s voice

If the Carer is having difficulty in hearing the

User, for example, if the User is some distance from their BT In Touch 2000 User Phone, the

Carer may wish to amplify the User’s voice.

This can be done by pressing the 7 button.

The Carer can then hear the User more clearly, but the User will be unable to hear the Carer.

What to do next

Having assessed the situation, the Carer can decide on the best thing to do. If the Carer wishes to make another call immediately - for instance to the emergency services or a doctor

- the special features of the BT In Touch 2000c

Carer Phone allow them to do so, even if the

User has not replaced their handset.

The Carer can also remotely clear the BT In

Touch 2000 User Phone and return it to an

‘idle’ state allowing the User to make further calls, by pressing 6 ✱ ✱.

Arrangement of support for the User

Up to 3 BT In Touch 2000c Carer Phones can be used to support one BT In Touch 2000 User

Phone, and up to 3 BT In Touch 2000 User

Phones can be supported by one BT In Touch

2000c Carer Phone. Also, up to 2 BT In Touch

Pendants can be used with each BT In Touch

2000 User Phone.

Whichever Carer responds to the emergency call, the emergency code (5 5 5 ) will always remain the same.

If you would like to purchase additional BT In

Touch Pendants, BT In Touch 2000 User

Phones or BT In Touch 2000c Carer Phones, please call Freefone 0800 800 150.

Setting up your BT In Touch 2000

User Phone

Please follow all the steps in the order shown.

Important

The BT In Touch 2000 package is only completely operational once both phones, the BT In Touch

Pendant and certain network services have been successfully installed and the whole system has been tested. We recommend that you install the BT In

Touch 2000 User Phone and BT In Touch Pendant first, and then install the BT In Touch 2000c

Carer Phone (having subscribed to a Caller

Display network service). You should then test the complete system (once all emergency numbers have

been allocated - see ‘Giving emergency status to numbers’ on page 22).

1 Plan where you will put your

BT In Touch 2000 User Phone

Ideally you should site the BT In Touch 2000

User Phone in the room where the User will spend most of their time. This will ensure they can hear the voice announcements, either during normal use or in an emergency, and especially when operating in ‘handsfree’. The phone should be within 2 metres of a phone socket.

16

Warning

Your BT In Touch is only designed to operate in a normal domestic environment, with the exception of the BT In Touch Pendant which is waterproof.

2 Install (or replace) the batteries

You must fit the batteries supplied before you attach the base stand for either raised or wallmounted positions.

Warning

Before installing (or replacing) the batteries, the phone must be disconnected from the phone line and the mains power.

Open the battery cover on the underside of your BT In Touch 2000 User Phone. Insert the

6 x AA Alkaline batteries.

IMPORTANT

The batteries act as a stand-by power source in the event of the mains power being disconnected. If at any time you find that the battery power has been used, you should immediately replace all existing batteries with new batteries. This will ensure that your phone has the maximum stand-by power time.

The batteries taken from your BT In Touch Phone can then be used for any other electrical appliance requiring battery power.

4 Select ringer volume

HI

LOW

RINGER

VOLUME

OFF

The ringer volume switch is on the underside of your phone.

Set the volume of the ringer to High, Low or Off.

This should be done before you attach the base stand for either raised or wall mounted positions.

3 Connect the telephone line cord

If you do not have a modern phone socket, then you can call BT on Freefone 0800 800 150 and ask for a BT engineer to come and fit the correct type. This is a chargeable service.

5 Select ringer tone

R1

R3

RINGER

The ringer tone switch is on the underside of your phone.

This switch allows you to select the pitch required for the ringer.

R1: for a low-pitched tone

R2: for a medium-pitched tone

R3: for a high-pitched tone

This should be done before you attach the base stand for raised or wall-mounted positions.

17

6 Connect the power cable 7 Uncoil the pendant receiver aerial

The pendant receiver aerial which hangs from the back of your BT In Touch 2000 User Phone needs to be uncoiled.

Important

Please do not tamper with the pendant receiver aerial.

Plug the power cable into the socket on the underside of your BT In Touch 2000 User

Phone as shown. The cable needs to be pressed into its channel to keep it out of the way. The way you do this will depend on how you have positioned your phone (with or without the base stand, wall-mounted or not). See ‘Desk and wallmounted phone positions’ on page 90.

Please note

The BT In Touch 2000 User Phone has 3 voice prompts to indicate that mains power or the telephone line has been disconnected or that the battery power is low. These are:

“Telephone line disconnected”

“No mains power”

“Please change batteries”

You may hear these voice prompts when first setting up your phone. This is perfectly normal and shows the phone’s warning alerts are working.

8 Positioning your BT In Touch

2000 User Phone

Your BT In Touch 2000 User Phone can be positioned in 3 different ways:

Please note

Make sure you test your phone before you finally fix it in position.

• Flat on a table or desk.

• Raised position on a table or desk using the base stand.

18

• Wall-mounted using the base stand.

See ‘Desk and wall-mounted phone positions’ on page 90.

9 Setting time and date

(with Caller Display)

If you have already subscribed to a Caller

Display network service, the time and date on the display will be set automatically when the first incoming phone call is received. For more information about BT Select Services, call BT on Freefone 0800 800 150.


(manually)

If you have not subscribed to a Caller Display service, you can set the time and date manually.

If you hear “Telephone line disconnected”

Return to the BT In Touch 2000 User Phone and check whether the telephone line cord is still connected to the socket. If disconnected, then reconnect it immediately (see page 17).

If the telephone line cord is still connected, then a line fault has occurred and you will need to contact your network service provider (for example, BT) as soon as possible.

Warning alerts

If you hear one of the emergency warning alerts, such as “No mains power” ,“Please change batteries” or “Telephone line disconnected” then you must take the necessary action to rectify the problem.

If you hear “No mains power”

The back-up batteries will automatically take over for the duration of their battery life (up to

7 hours for new batteries). The mains power should be reconnected as soon as possible and the batteries replaced, if necessary.

If you hear “Please change batteries”

Replace the batteries in the BT In Touch 2000

User Phone as soon as possible. 6 x AA

Alkaline batteries are required, see ‘Install (or replace) the batteries’ on page 16.

Important

Before you can use your BT In Touch 2000

User Phone in an emergency:

You must follow the next two sections - ‘Setting up the emergency facility on your BT In Touch 2000

User Phone’, see page 21 and ‘Registering your BT

In Touch Pendant’, see page 26 - and then test the

BT In Touch 2000 package.

If a Quickdial memory has not been allocated emergency status, it will not be automatically

dialled when you press the Emergency button (on the BT In Touch 2000 User Phone or Pendant).

If none of the Quickdial memories have been allocated emergency status then the emergency feature will not work. A voice prompt is played to alert the User “Warning. No emergency numbers”.

Press the Store button to confirm.

Important

If you have not given emergency status to any

Quickdial memories, your BT In Touch 2000 User

Phone will announce “Warning no emergency numbers” at the end of the programming sequence.

This message will only stop when you allocate emergency status to at least one of the Quickdial memory numbers.

23

Changing Quickdial memory numbers

You can only change a Quickdial memory number when the emergency status has been removed from that number. See ‘To confirm and change which numbers have emergency status’ on page 23.

To change a number stored in the memory, repeat the process for storing numbers, but enter the new number (see page 21). The new number will automatically replace the old number. Then give the number emergency status if you wish it to be included in the emergency sequence (see page 22).

999 Calls

Although the BT In Touch 2000 User phone will accept “999” as a phone number which can be allocated emergency status, it is not recommended.

BT strongly recommends that the Carer first assesses the nature of the emergency call and then rings the emergency services with the relevant information. This ensures that only appropriate calls are passed on to the emergency services.

“999” is not recommended as the 999 operator can only connect you with Fire, Police or Ambulance services which may not be appropriate. However, if you do use 999 as an emergency number you should ensure you use an appropriate emergency announcement, for example:

“This is Mrs Jones, I request an ambulance to number 1 Meadowside Cottages, Ipswich”.

When 999 is used, the phone will respond differently to other emergency numbers, as 999 will always be answered promptly. Your BT In Touch

2000 User phone will speak your announcement just once before allowing you to speak with the operator, if you are able to do so.

Once this call to the 999 operator has been answered, the BT In Touch 2000 User phone will

NOT subsequently attempt to contact any other emergency contact telephone number.

24

At a glance

Small, lightweight and waterproof, the BT In Touch

Pendant acts as a portable emergency button for the

BT In Touch 2000 User Phone. When pressed in an emergency, the BT In Touch Pendant contacts the

BT In Touch 2000 User Phone which starts dialling the stored emergency numbers.

In a non-emergency, the BT In Touch Pendant button can be pressed to answer and end an incoming call, enabling the User to hold a

‘handsfree’ conversation via the loudspeaker on the phone.

The BT In Touch Pendant has a battery life of about 4 years (based on 2 presses a day) and a range of up to 50 metres from the BT In Touch 2000 User Phone.

It has 3 interchangeable, detachable mountings allowing it to be worn around the neck, on a wrist strap or on a belt clip.

Testing the range of the BT In Touch

Pendant

You need to check the performance of the BT

In Touch Pendant under the conditions of your own home and garden.

The maximum range in a clear line-of-sight of the BT In Touch Pendant is 50m, but this operating range may vary depending on certain conditions. For example:

• You are too far from the phone - the maximum range in a clear line of sight, that is, with no obstructions, is 50m.

• You have another radio device or transmitter situated near your home which is interfering with your BT In Touch Pendant, such as a fire station nearby.

• Something is blocking the signal between the

BT In Touch Pendant and the phone, such as, unusually thick walls, a tree or a garden shed.

Important

Whenever you change the location of the BT In

Touch 2000 User Phone, you should test your the

BT In Touch Pendant again, see page 72.

BT In Touch Pendants

The BT In Touch Pendant provides peace of mind wherever the User is around the home

(provided they are within range of the BT In

Touch 2000 User Phone).

The BT In Touch Pendant is used for

2 purposes:

• To start the emergency sequence by sending a signal to the BT In Touch 2000

User Phone.

• To answer incoming calls and automatically put the phone in ‘handsfree’.

Changing the way you wear your

BT In Touch Pendant

The BT In Touch Pendant can be worn in 3 ways, depending on which is most convenient:

• Around the neck using the cord provided.

• Clipped on to a belt or other part of clothing.

To change the way you wear your BT In Touch

Pendant, simply push on or pull off any of the detachable mounts:

BT In Touch Pendant life

The BT In Touch Pendant will normally work for about 5 years (based on 2 presses per day).

The BT In Touch Pendant is a sealed unit which does not require maintenance. When the batteries are low and you wish to buy a replacement BT In Touch Pendant, simply ring

BT on Freefone 0800 800 150 or ring the product Helpline on 0845 6011 406.

The BT In Touch Pendant is also waterproof and floats on water, so you can safely wear it in the bath or shower.

Please note

It is recommended that you replace the BT In

Touch Pendant at least every 5 years. To order a replacement call BT on Freefone 0800 800 150 or ring the product Helpline on 0845 6011 406.

Using 2 BT In Touch Pendants

Your BT In Touch 2000 User Phone will support up to 2 BT In Touch Pendants. This means that 2 people in the same house can benefit from the BT In Touch 2000 package.

Using the BT In Touch Pendant to answer calls

BT In Touch Pendant in normal use

You can use the BT In Touch Pendant to answer incoming calls. When the phone rings, simply press the Pendant button to answer the call. This puts the phone into ‘handsfree’ mode. You don’t need to pick up the handset, simply speak to the caller using the built-in microphone on the telephone.

When you have finished your conversation, press the Pendant button again to hang-up. The light on the Handsfree button will go out.

If, during the call, you decide to use the handset, simply pick it up and continue your conversation.

28

Using the BT In Touch Pendant in an emergency

To use the BT In Touch Pendant in an emergency, you simply press the

Pendant button. The small red light will flash to confirm that the Pendant button has been pressed.

Your BT In Touch 2000 User Phone will dial the stored emergency contact numbers you have programmed (see page 22).

IMPORTANT

If the Pendant button is pressed at the same time as a call is coming in, then your BT In Touch

2000 User Phone will assume that you want to receive the incoming call rather than start the emergency sequence.

BT In Touch Pendant battery low warning

When the battery in your BT In Touch Pendant has about 1 month’s life left, the BT In Touch

Pendant will warn you by flashing 3 times every time the Pendant button is pressed, and the voice prompt will say “Replace Pendant soon”.

This gives enough time for you or your Carer to order a replacement BT In Touch Pendant by ringing BT on Freefone 0800 800 150, or the product Helpline on 0845 6011 406 and quoting Item Code 871769.

Registering a replacement


To register a new or replacement BT In Touch

Pendant, you must follow the instructions in

“Registering your BT In Touch Pendants” , see page 26.

Important

If you have 2 BT In Touch Pendants, you must make sure you register both Pendants.

Emergency announcements

The emergency announcement is the message which will be heard by the Carer when they answer an emergency call. The announcement tells the Carer that there is an emergency but can also convey important information about the User, for example “I am an asthmatic and my call-out doctor’s phone number is...” .

When the User presses the Emergency button and the emergency sequence is started, an emergency announcement will be played to the allocated Carer emergency numbers.

The BT In Touch 2000 User Phone has a pre-programmed announcement, which is -

“Emergency call, Emergency call.

Please enter the 3-digit code”.

The BT In Touch 2000 User Phone in an emergency

Starting an emergency call

There are two ways to start the emergency sequence on the BT In Touch 2000 User Phone

- from your BT In Touch Pendant and from your BT In Touch 2000 User Phone itself.

From your BT In Touch Pendant

Press the Pendant button on the BT

In Touch Pendant, the light will flash to confirm that the button has been pressed. The BT In Touch 2000 User

Phone will beep and the orange

Emergency button will flash, the phone will automatically switch to

‘handsfree’ and start the emergency sequence by dialling the first of the emergency contact numbers that you have programmed.

From your BT In Touch 2000 User Phone

Press the orange Emergency button on the BT In Touch 2000 User Phone.

The phone will beep and the orange emergency light will flash, the phone will automatically switch to ‘handsfree’ and start the sequence by dialling the first of the emergency contact numbers you have programmed.

What the User will hear during an emergency call

The BT In Touch 2000 User Phone will beep to confirm that the Emergency button on either the BT In Touch 2000 User Phone or the

BT In Touch Pendant has been pressed. It will then switch to ‘handsfree’. In ‘handsfree’, the

BT In Touch 2000 User Phone will play the emergency sequence to the User reassuring them that help is being sought.

Firstly, the User will hear the message “Don’t worry we are trying to contact help” . They will then hear the BT In Touch 2000 User Phone phone dialling the emergency contact numbers and the emergency announcements being played

(see ‘Emergency announcements’, on page 30).

When the emergency call is answered and the

3-digit code (555) has been entered by the

Carer, both the beeps and the emergency announcements will stop and the User will be able to speak to the Carer in handsfree. The handset does not work for the Users own personal safety. This is to prevent the handset being accidentally knocked off and then both parties (Carer and User) being unable to communicate with each other.

If the emergency call is not answered by the first emergency Carer contact, then the User will hear the BT In Touch 2000 User Phone hang up and start to contact the second emergency contact number.

Someone else is using the telephone line in the User’s home in the event of an emergency

If the User presses the Emergency button

(phone/pendant) but another person is already using the telephone line, the BT In Touch 2000

User Phone will announce over the loudspeaker and down the telephone line

“Emergency call. Please hang up now” .

The BT In Touch 2000 User Phone will then wait a few seconds and try to start the emergency sequence. If the person on the telephone line has failed to hang up, the BT In

Touch 2000 User Phone will replay the message “Emergency call. Please hang up now”.

The BT In Touch 2000 User Phone will continue to do this until the telephone line is clear and the emergency sequence has begun.

Cancelling an emergency call at the


Cancel

Once this prefix has been entered, when you dial the relevant number from the Directory, the BT In Touch

2000c Carer Phone will ring as normal but the emergency light will not flash and beep as it would in an emergency.

This will prevent any unnecessary alarm for the Carer.

34

To make a non-emergency call to a Carer

Because your Carer numbers have been allocated emergency status, if you dial them in a non-emergency your

BT In Touch 2000c Carer Phone will still treat the call as an emergency.

To avoid this you will need to insert the prefix 141.

Your 3 Carer numbers should be stored in the Directory as well as under the Quickdial memories with

It is recommended that you now test that you have correctly stored the User numbers as Quickdial memories and that emergency status has been given, where required.

Please note

As the Carer, if any of your emergency contact numbers relies on a switchboard, for example, the call goes to an office where a secretary/switchboard operator receives the call before passing it on to you, then you are advised to inform and train them in how to manage an emergency call from the User.

Using the Divert button

The Divert button allows the Carer to divert any calls including an emergency call to a mobile phone or any other phone.

Please note

To use this feature you must first subscribe to a

Call Diversion network service. The Divert service applies to any phone you have in your home. If you have Divert programmed on another phone, your incoming emergency call will be diverted to that phone number. Divert is specific to your telephone line and not individual telephone equipment.

To set calls to divert to another phone

The network will now automatically divert all incoming calls to the phone number you have entered.

Please note

It is recommended that you now test that you have set your BT In Touch 2000c Carer Phone to divert calls to the correct number.

Making a further call whilst engaged on an emergency call

If, during an emergency call, you want to call another number, for example the Doctor or

999, the BT In Touch 2000c Carer Phone will automatically clear the line and enable you to make another call, even if the User’s handset has not been replaced.

To do this, you should hang up either by replacing the handset or pressing the

Handsfree button. You are now able to dial another number.

In addition to ‘clearing down’ your BT In Touch

2000c Carer Phone, if you wish to clear down the BT In Touch 2000 User Phone, returning it to an idle state (i.e. so the User is able to make further calls), you should press 6 ✱ ✱.

Receiving an emergency call whilst already engaged on another call

If you already subscribe to a Call Waiting network service, then any incoming calls received while you are already engaged on another call, can be identified by a beep through the handset.

If the incoming call is from the User the emergency light will also flash and beep.

In this case you should immediately answer the incoming emergency call by pressing the R button, then take control of the emergency call.

Important

This feature is particular to your BT In Touch

2000c Carer Phone.

Testing your BT In Touch 2000 package in an emergency situation

We recommend that you test your BT In Touch

2000 Package at regular intervals to ensure that all elements are working properly and that the system is set up properly.

Testing the package is particularly important after setting up for the first time.

Please Note

You will need two people to test whether your

BT In Touch 2000 package is working correctly, one person by the BT In Touch 2000 User Phone and one person by the BT In Touch 2000c Carer Phone.

A simple test of your BT In Touch

2000 package to test that it has been installed correctly

Having installed the BT In Touch 2000 User

Phone, registered the BT In Touch Pendant at the User’s home, subscribed to a Caller Display network service and installed the BT In Touch

2000c Carer Phone at the Carer’s home you should test the package fully.

When testing your BT In Touch 2000 package you may find the section “Helpful timer whilst testing your Pendant/Emergency button” useful,

(see page 72).

Carefully follow the procedure on the next few pages.

Please note

If your BT In Touch Pendant does not work over the full 50 metre range, it does not mean it is faulty. The nature of radio transmission technology is such that environmental conditions can effect the performance of the BT In Touch Pendant.

It is your responsibility to establish the range over which your BT In Touch Pendant works

RELIABLY. It would be advisable for the User to spend as little time as possible in places where reception is poor.

The BT In Touch 2000 package facilitates easy contact between a person (the User) and the people who look after them (the Carers).

Over time, the level of care required by the User is likely to change. Furthermore, the Carer’s situation may also change and they may not be able to offer the level of support required.

The BT In Touch 2000 package offers 4 Carer options to allow for these changes.

The four Carer options are:

1. Carer

If you have chosen to switch from either of these options to full-time careline support, you need only call one of the careline numbers (see page 103). They will be able to program your existing BT In Touch 2000 User Phone to operate with full-time careline support.

When subscribing to full-time Careline options, any emergency will be dealt with by a 24-hour careline.


4. Careline Holiday option*

Where the careline service provider answers all emergency calls while you are away

This option is the same as the Careline option but is set for a temporary period only.

This enables the Carer(s) to take a holiday or a break from their responsibility as Carer contact(s), with the reassurance that the User is in safe hands.

The Carer will need to agree the period of cover with the careline service provider.


The Emergency button (Phone/Pendant) provides personal contact with the careline operators. They will then get in touch with the appropriate nominated Carers or, if necessary, the emergency services.

Setting up support from a careline service provider

How to subscribe to your careline service provider

Once you have decided on a careline service provider, you should contact them to arrange your subscription. For more information on careline service providers, see pages 102/3.

Your careline service provider will guide you through the necessary subscription arrangements. In most instances, they will ring you back and program your BT In Touch

2000 User Phone for you, usually without a visit. You will then be asked to test the emergency procedure.

Having subscribed to a careline service provider, pressing the Emergency button

(phone/pendant) is the only action you need to take to call the careline service provider. You do not have to pick up the handset as your phone automatically switches to ‘handsfree’ mode.

Talking to the careline service provider in an emergency

When the User presses the Emergency button

(phone or pendant) and contacts the careline service provider, the careline operator will take control of the call by speaking first.

When the careline operator has finished speaking, the User will hear a beep. Now it is the User’s turn to speak. The conversation will continue under the control of the careline operator who will deal with the situation.

Please note

Service providers offer differing levels of careline service. Some providers will be specific to your local area while others will offer a consistent level of service across the whole country. For more information, see pages 102/3.

81

Setting the Carer + Careline option

To use the Carer + Careline option you should store your Carer numbers as normal, making sure to give them emergency status.

BT Select Services

The BT In Touch 2000 User Phone and 2000c

Carer Phone enable you to take advantage of a number of BT Select Services provided you are connected to the BT network. If you are connected to a different network provider, please contact them for details of their services.

Important

For your BT In Touch 2000c Carer Phone to function properly, the Carer must subscribe to a

Caller Display service.

Please note

It is highly recommended that the Carer also subscribes to both a Call Waiting and Call

Diversion network service to avoid missing any emergency calls.

Caller Display

With Caller Display you know who’s calling before you even lift the handset.

Your BT In Touch 2000c Carer Phone receives caller information which is transmitted over the

BT network. This includes the date and time the call is received, and in most cases, the caller’s phone number.

This information is displayed as each call is received, along with any associated name which has been stored in the memory and which matches the incoming caller’s number.

Caller Display in an emergency:

In an emergency, Caller Display is a vital feature.

When the BT In Touch 2000c Carer Phone receives an incoming call and matches the name and number to that of the User, this triggers the emergency light to flash and beep and the emergency announcement to play.

There is a subscription charge for this service.

85

Caller Display with Calls List:

If the call is not answered, the caller’s number

(and name) are stored in the Calls List.

You can display and dial any number from the

Calls List at the touch of a button.

Please note

If you are connected to a network other than BT, you will first have to subscribe to that network’s

Caller Display service. Call your network provider for more information.

Call Diversion

You can use your BT In Touch 2000c Carer

Phone to request the network to divert all incoming calls to another number. There is a subscription charge for this service.

You can choose to divert:

- all calls

- calls that you do not answer within 5 rings

- calls when your line is already engaged.

To use Call Diversion with your BT In Touch

2000c Carer Phone

Divert

The BT In Touch 2000c Carer Phone has a Divert button, making it even easier to divert all calls to a number where you can be reached.

See page 54 ‘Using the Divert button’.

To use Call Diversion with your BT In Touch

2000 User Phone

You will need to enter the appropriate diversion code:

The power cable and telephone line cord will reach their correct wall points.

91

Rotate the handset hook 180˚ so that you can hang up the handset when the phone is wall-mounted.

Hang the holes on the back of the phone over the screwheads and gently pull the phone downward to make sure it is securely in place.

Help and advice

If you cannot find the information you require in this section, then phone the BT In Touch Product Helpline on 0845 6011 406

What is the 3-digit code to stop the emergency sequence?

J KL J KL J KL

The Carer must press the 5 button three times.

Emergency calls

The emergency services can be contacted in the UK by dialling 999 or 112 which is valid in any country that is a member of the EC.

No dial tone

Is the telephone line cord plugged into the telephone socket?

Check that the power cable is connected to the mains power.

Replacing phone batteries

After a time, you may find that the batteries are running out. When the batteries need replacing -

The Carer will hear the battery low warning beep and

BATTERIES LOW

will appear on the display.

The User will hear “Change batteries” and

CHANGE BATTERIES

will appear on the display.

IMPORTANT

The batteries in the BT In Touch 2000 User Phone act as a stand-by power source in the event of the mains power being disconnected. If at any time you find that the battery power has been used, you should immediately replace all existing batteries with new batteries. This will ensure that your phone has the maximum stand-by power time.

The batteries taken from your BT In Touch Phone can then be used for any other electrical appliance requiring battery power.

95

Spare batteries

AA Alkaline batteries are available from

BT Shops.

Try resetting your phone. Follow the instructions in ‘Returning the BT In Touch 2000

User Phone to its factory settings’ on page 43.

The display may be faulty.

Battery/old BT In Touch Pendant disposal

Do not immerse the batteries in water. Do not throw the batteries or the old BT In Touch

Pendant into fire, or dispose of them with ordinary domestic refuse.

Your batteries contain cadmium. Check your local regulations for special disposal instructions.

If there are no alert messages

You may not have subscribed to a Caller

Display network service. If you have subscribed, check that the service has been activated (call your service provider).

Damage liability

BT accepts no responsibility for damage caused to your BT In Touch 2000 User Phone or your

BT In Touch 2000c Carer Phone by using any other batteries than the type recommended.

Where do I get a new line extension socket?

Ring BT on Freefone 0800 800 150 to talk to a

BT engineer.

No display appears

The batteries may be discharged or the power supply may be disconnected. Check the power is connected and switched on. If it is, you will need to replace the batteries.

Can I use an answering machine with either BT In Touch Phone?

An answering machine can be used in the normal way with your BT In Touch 2000 User or 2000c Carer Phone.

However, if your BT In Touch 2000c Carer

Phone receives an emergency call which is taken by your answering machine, the emergency message will be recorded and the

96

BT In Touch 2000 User Phone will continue to dial the next emergency contact number.

Someone else is using the telephone line in the User’s home in the event of an emergency

If the User presses the Emergency button

(phone or Pendant) but another person is already using the telephone line, the BT In

Touch 2000 User Phone will announce over the loudspeaker and down the telephone line

“Emergency call. Please hang up now” .

The BT In Touch 2000 User Phone will then wait a few seconds and attempt to start the emergency sequence. If the person on the telephone line has failed to hang up, the BT In

Touch 2000 User Phone will replay the message “Emergency call. Please hang up now”.

The BT In Touch 2000 User Phone will continue to do this until the telephone line is clear and the emergency sequence has begun.

What happens when the emergency call is taken by a fax, answer machine, a busy tone or someone receives the call but does not know the 3-digit code?

If an emergency call sequence begins and the call is picked-up but the emergency code (555) is not entered within 1 minute, the BT In Touch

2000 User Phone will dial the next emergency contact number. The BT In Touch 2000 User

Phone will continue to do this until a Carer has entered the emergency code (555) or the User ends the sequence by pressing and holding down the Cancel button for longer than 2 seconds.

What happens when I return home to a missed emergency call?

If you have missed an emergency call, then the emergency light on your BT In Touch 2000c

Carer Phone will be flashing and beeping.

You may wish to ring round the other Carer contact numbers to establish who took control of the emergency - the BT In Touch 2000 User Phone would have continued the emergency sequence until the emergency code (555) was entered.

If no-one has entered the 3-digit code, the BT

In Touch 2000 User Phone will continue the emergency sequence and you may shortly receive a new emergency call.

97

My BT In Touch Pendant does not work

Check that you have successfully registered the BT In Touch Pendant and that your BT In

Touch 2000 User Phone is properly installed with mains power, batteries and the telephone line is connected to the phone socket.

Check that the BT In Touch Pendant batteries are not low or dead - you may have to replace the BT In Touch Pendant (see next point).

The BT In Touch Pendant may not work in the particular place you are trying to use it. This may be because:

• You are too far from the BT In Touch 2000

User Phone - the maximum range in a clear line of sight, that is with no obstructions, is 50m.

• Another radio device near your home is interfering with your BT In Touch Pendant.

For example a fire station very close to your home.

• Something is blocking the radio signal, such as unusually thick walls or garden obstructions like a shed or tree.

The BT In Touch Pendant batteries need replacing

If you see the ‘battery low’ indication on your

BT In Touch Pendant (a triple flash when the

Pendant button is pressed), then it is time to replace it. The batteries cannot be replaced, as the BT In Touch Pendant is a sealed unit.

You will need to ring the BT In Touch Product

Helpline on 0845 6011 406 or BT on Freefone

0800 800 150 to order a new BT In Touch

Pendant.

Where do I get a replacement/ additional BT In Touch Pendant?

Ring the BT In Touch Product Helpline on

0845 6011 406 or BT on Freefone 0800 800

150 to order a new or additional BT In Touch

Pendant.

My BT In Touch 2000c Carer Phone does not recognise when an emergency call has been made

BT In Touch relies on a Caller Display service.

Check that you have successfully subscribed to a Caller Display network service, or that your network service provider has Caller Display and that they have successfully installed Caller

Display onto your telephone line. Not all network service providers offer this service.

98

Also check that the Quickdial memories have been given emergency status on both the BT In

Touch 2000 User Phone and 2000c Carer Phone.

To find out more about BT Select Services including Caller Display, ring BT on Freefone

0800 800 150.

Number withheld

Any telephone number used for either the User or Carer in an emergency should not be a

‘number withheld’.
