Test Reminder
A test reminder message is provided for prompting the subscriber to
perform a system test. They will be prompted to activate their emergency
transmitter or press the HELP button on the Console. Either activation
will send a test report to the Central Station.
IMPORTANT: IF USING THE TEST REMINDER MESSAGE FEATURE,
TWO-WAY AUDIO SHOULD BE ENABLED SO THAT THE CENTRAL
STATION CAN ACKNOWLEDGE THE TEST WITH THE SUBSCRIBER.
When the programmed system test time occurs, a reminder chime
sounds and the Console announces:
0 “Attention... It is time to test your personal emergency
system... Please press your personal help button”
NOTE: The test announcement will repeat every three minutes regardless
of the AUDIO REPLAY DURING TIMEOUT reminder message setting.
When the subscriber activates their emergency transmitter or presses
the HELP button, the Console will send a test report to the Central
Station, then start a two-way audio session. The Central Station operator
typically acknowledges the test report with the subscriber using two-way
audio, then disconnects.
If the subscriber does not activate a transmitter or press the HELP button
before the reminder timeout interval has been reached, an automatic test
report will be sent to the Central Station.
NOTE: If the system test reminder times out and an automatic status
report is sent, a two-way audio session will NOT be started, even if
two-way audio is enabled.
