1. 

After programming is complete, you will need to set the “Function” switch on the rear of the Smart 
Dialler to either “Mute” or “Alarm” See the information note below as to which setting you would 
like to use. 

2. 

Once the Smart Dialler is in the standby mode you will notice that the display in the indication 
window will have a clockwise moving digit. This is indicating that the Dialler is now in the 
“Standby” mode. 

3.

While it is in this mode, you can still make the Smart Dialler chime loudly by pushing the yellow 
button for one second on your Wireless pendant. This may be used as a nurse call. 

4.

You can test your Dialler by unplugging the “Line” phone cord and then activate your Wireless 
pendant by pressing the two red buttons for 1 second simultaneously. You can then watch the 
indication window as the Dialler progresses through its dialling process. Please note that with the 
“Line” cord unplugged, no phone numbers will be called. You can test the Dialler with the “Line” 
cord plugged in, however you will need to ensure that the receivers of the calls are aware that this 
test is being performed. 

We strongly recommend that you perform a LIVE test for at least the 

first number programmed. However, ensure that this is NOT “000” Emergency Services.

5. 

With the Smart Dialler in the standby mode (‘Mute’ or ‘Alarm’ setting), it is advisable to wear your 
Wireless pendant at all times while in and around your home, so that in case of an emergency, it 
can easily be activated. You can also activate your Smart Dialler by holding down the LED indicator 
button on the top of the dialler for two seconds. 

DO NOT USE EXCESSIVE FORCE WHEN PRESSING THE BUTTON.

 PLEASE NOTE: 

You can set your Dialler to either a “Mute” setting or an “Alarm” setting. On the mute 

setting the Dialler will remain silent when it dials out after being activated. This setting is 

for security applications (eg shop, office etc...). 

On the alarm setting the Dialler, when activated, will play a voice message saying “This is an 
emergency situation” and then emit a loud audible alarm for 10 seconds before dialling out to 
the stored numbers. It is generally recommended that you set your function switch to the “Alarm” 
setting so that when heard you have confidence, knowing that your dialler is performing its 
operation to seek assistance.
