General
The Silent Call Vibracall
TM receiver is a body worn portable alerting device with vibrating alert. It is used in conjunction with any Silent Call transmitter such as the telephone, doorbell, smoke detector and/or sound monitor. When the Vibracall receiver detects a signal from a Silent Call transmitter, it activates its vibrator.Operation
Switch the Vibracall receiver on by moving the power switch to the ON position. Each time it receives a signal from a Silent Call transmitter with a matching code, the Vibracall receiver will vibrate. To determine which transmitter activated the Vibracall, press each button. When you press the button associated with the activated transmitter, the Vibracall will re-vibrate. The Vibracall receiver battery may be tested by moving the power switch momentarily to the TEST position.
The Vibracall receiver is supplied with a rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride 9V battery. In normal operation, the unit will function for approximately two to three days per charge. However, for the most reliable operation, recharge the battery each night when you go to bed. Also, do not leave the unit on when you are not using it as the battery can be damaged by running it all the way down. Not all "9V" rechargeable batteries are the same, and we recommend you purchase replacement batteries from us. Although it is not recommended, the Vibracall receiver may be used with a standard alkaline battery. However, if you use an alkaline battery YOU MUST NEVER ATTEMPT TO RECHARGE THE BATTERY. Doing so will cause the battery to burst and destroy the Vibracall circuitry, voiding the warranty.
"Code" (address) switches
Each Silent Call device contains a five position "code" switch that defines the address of the device. Each receiver and each transmitter must be set to the same code. All Silent Call devices leave the factory set to a default code of 1=off, 2=off, 3=off, 4=on, 5=on. The ON direction is marked on the switch with an arrow. Ordinarily, this code will not need to be changed unless your system is within 100-200 feet of another Silent Call system. In that case, simply set all receivers and transmitters to a different code.
