- Alarm notification from Room 101 displays on Caregiver DECT. Message format is customizable from DCC EX system (except Date & Time).
- Caregiver can reject the displayed alarm and receive the next active alarm by pressing. Reject button. If there is no other active alarm, the Caregiver will receive the same alarm, if it was not accepted in 15 seconds (configurable in DCC EX).
- Caregiver can stop the displayed alarm and receive the next active alarm by pressing hangup button. If there is no other active alarm, the Caregiver will receive the same alarm at the next escalation time (configurable in DCC EX).
- Caregivers accepts or calls back the resident corresponding to the displayed alarm notification. Caregiver must go to Room 101 to clear the alarm. Finally, caregiver is ready to receive new alarm notifications.
NOTE: Alarm List Navigation: In case the Caregiver accepts/ rejects the alarm, the next alarm (if any, sorted by highest priority) will be received immediately by Caregiver. If multiple alarms are active when using reject button, the DECT will display an Alarm List with all the active alarms.
Using Reject option, the Caregiver can basically scroll through all active alarms.
