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.
