Call configurations
Periodic Calls
Lifeline 4000 can be set to call the control centre every so often—usually every twenty-eight days.
In this way the control centre can be sure that the unit is functioning correctly. If the control centre
does not receive this regular call (assuming it has been configured to expect this call) then it will
alert the call operators at the control centre to the potential problem.

In the example above the first two digits set the number of days between calls, and this can range
from 1 day to 99 days. The third digit determines whether periodic calls are enabled or not. In the
example above periodic calls are enabled, with
1
for enabled (and
0
for disabled).
Add 12 Hours.
If you set the Lifeline 4000 to make a periodic call in twenty-eight days time
then it will make its first call just 24 hours later. After this, it will call in exactly twenty-eight days
time. Consequently, if you program it at 3.30 in the afternoon then the unit will make every
periodic call at 3.30pm. Many control centres prefer home communication units to call with periodic
calls in the late evening or the middle of the night, when the control centre has few calls. Setting
the 12 hour delay feature to 1 achieves this.
