Usage

Receiving text alarm notifications

When alarm notification from a certain room arrives to W-AIR handset:

  1. 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 receives the same alarm, if it is not accepted at the next escalation time 
  2. 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 receives the same alarm at the next escalation time
  3. Caregiver accepts or calls back the resident corresponding to the displayed alarm notification. Caregiver must go the room to clear the alarm. Finally, Caregiver is ready to receive new alarm notifications

Alarm List Navigation: In case the Caregiver accepts/ rejects the alarm, the next alarm (if any, sorted by highest priority) is received immediately. If multiple alarms are active when using Reject button, W-AIR handset  displays Alarm List with all the active alarms. Using Reject button, the Caregiver can basically scroll through all active alarms.

Managing alarms

The following buttons can be used for managing alarms:

  1. OK – when pressing Ok button, the alarm is accepted
  2. Call – when pressing the call back button, W-AIR handset initiates a call to the resident number, but it doesn't NOT accept the alarm:
    • Reject – it rejects the alarm
    • Hangup – it stops the alarm
