4 Carer options

3. Careline option*

Where the careline service provider answers all emergency calls

If you wish, you can choose to use a careline service provider as your only contact number in an emergency. You may choose to do this at any time, even if you have previously been using the Carer, or Carer + Careline options.

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.

*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.

With the Careline option, the 3 Quickdial memory buttons can be used as normal (non-emergency) Quickdial memory numbers.

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.

*Careline service provider

*This option requires subscription to a careline service provider - not BT.
