Introduction

Congratulations on your new Swissphone receiver! When you purchased the news.QUAD, you chose a top-range device.
The S.QUAD delights with its optimum combination of user-friendly design, high carrying comfort, and top quality. It offers easy operation via four buttons and a graphical display.

This quickstart guide provides important information that will help you get the most out of your device. Always keep this guide ready to hand.
We wish you success in using the s.QUAD.

Emergency Call

SOS emergency call
You make an emergency call by pressing and holding the OK confirmation button. The pre-alert timer starts after two seconds. During the pre-alert, the confirmation button must remain pressed until the timer reaches zero and “Emergency call initiated” appears on the display. After the emergency call has been sent to the control center, “Emergency call sent” appears on the display.
Emergency call test
The emergency call test is used to check the emergency call transmission without triggering the rescue process in the backend. To be able to guarantee the functionality of the Swissphone emergency call system in the long term, this test must be carried out at regular intervals together with a function test.
You can activate the emergency call test for two minutes by selecting the “Emergency call test” menu item. If the emergency call test is active, “Test emergency call” appears on the display,

Emergency call system operation

Emergency call system operation is a reliable operating state in which a personal emergency call device is registered with headquarters and is monitored. This is indicated on the display of the s.QUAD C55 with “Device active” or “DGUV 112-139″ (‘DGUV” package), depending on the selection scope of services.

The following two criteria are required for active emergency call system operation:

Successful device functional test

The “DGUV” package requires mandatory performance of a functional test at the latest after 24 hours. In addition, the functional test must be conducted prior to every start of operation (after removal from the charger, for example), as well as prior to every commencement of work or change of persons.
Without ‘DGUV” package the device allows optional configuration of all parameters regarding the functional test. This package also allows full disabling of the functional test. In this case, the functional test is not relevant for emergency call system operation. Active data connection with the emergency call platform When the emergency device is in emergency call system operation, the corresponding symbol, and the text “Device active” or “DGUV 112-139 is permanently on the home screen.
