1.3 Why is TNTFD also a blind phone?
The device has 100 contacts that are very easy to find and choose.
The contacts are divided into 10 registers, which you can label yourself.
The built-in voice assistant reads the registers and names of the contacts.
In the case of visually impaired, the device can read the phone book aloud.
Incoming calls are announced by name or number..
The device also has the features: Missed calls and caller list
1.4 How do I enter phone numbers and names?
If desired your unit will arrive with your language and emergency contacts already setup.
If you want to manage them yourself you will need access to a Windows PC with a USB port.
Via the website www.pcapp.net you can download a PC program: The PC APP
In principle, you enter names and numbers. In addition, personal settings, such as tones, volume, or your personal data with your place of residence. These are passed on to the help contact, for example by the language assistant: »This is a fall alarm at Susanne Mustermann, in which ... street.... Access to the apartment via ...«
1.5 How does the call for help with smoke alarm work?
All you need is your existing smoke alarm sensor. It doesn't matter what type. The TNTFD detects the smoke alarm of all devices on the market. Smoke alarm detection is activated when the device is on the charging pad only. This does not require any further configuration.
In an emergency, the TNTFD retrieves the call list for help and remains in alarm mode until the smoke alarm has been turned off or TNTFD has been taken off the charging screen.
1.6 How is the smoke alarm detection set?
The TNTFD is factory configured to on smoke alarm detection ON. In the PC APP you can disable this function. Furthermore, the function does not have to be configured. If the TNTFD triggers a call for help due to smoke alarm the person called will be informed by the TNTFD voice assistant: »This is a smoke alarm at Susanne Mustermann, in the ... street.... Access to the apartment via ...«
1.7 How can I change the language of the language assistant?
Via the website www.pcapp.net you load the PC APP again and select the desired language. After downloading and installing on PC, connect TNTFD to the PC APP via the USB cable of the charging screen. The TNTFD is then automatically set to the new language.
1.8 How is the fall detection/fall alarm set?
The TNTFD is factory configured for fall detection on. In the PC APP you can disable this function. Furthermore, the function does not have to be configured. If the TNTFD triggers a call for help due to a fall (see call list for help, SOS), then the person called will be informed by the TNTFD voice assistant: »This is a fall alarm at Susanne Mustermann, in the ... street.... Access to the apartment via ...«
You can test the fall detection by dropping the device from about 4 feet or 1.20 meters to the ground. The TNTFD detects that only the device has fallen to the ground and reports this with "Ouch!" twice, then asking the user to pick up the device again. Then a call for help would also be triggered in case TNTFD is not picked up.
2.1 How many contacts can be stored on the device?
Up to 100 contacts with names and telephone numbers can be stored.
For better structuring, the telephone book has 10 categories, which you can name yourself with: title, favorites, family, friends, doctor, etc.
Category names and telephone numbers are announced by the voice assistant with title and name.
2.2 How can an elderly, severely visually impaired person call someone?
Up to 100 contacts with names and telephone numbers can be stored. Contacts who want to be called more often should be stored closer to the beginning of the list so you don't have to scroll through other contacts that are not as often used. It is best to define the 1st register with favorites and place the 10 most used contacts there.
If a person wants to make a phone call, they only press a side button and then in the phone book is which name by name is read out. Then they just would press the call button and the person is called. All linguistically supported by the language assistant.
2.3 How to call a person that cannot press a button or easily get to the pendant?
In extreme cases, where a person himself has difficulty pressing the call button when calling, an automatic call acceptance can be set for certain numbers in the phone book. On incoming call, the TNTFD speaker will answer automatically and connects to the caller, who can then speak immediately.
3.1 What is the difference between the three help numbers and the emergency number?
The help call sequence consists of 3 help numbers and one 1 emergency number
Help Call numbers:
You can set up to three help numbers with name and phone contact. These three numbers can be repeated. To do this, set the number of repetitions. In addition, you specify how long a called phone should ring before the next number is dialed.
The TNTFD has an intelligent Call Manager (iCM), software that monitors the selection of contacts according to strict rules and decides whether a valid help contact has been established before calling the next contact.
Emergency number:
You can optionally set an emergency number that will be called if no help contact has been made. This emergency number is treated like a normal phone number and rings the number until the call is answered.
The help call sequence consists of 3 help numbers and one 1 emergency number. The sequence is triggered,
when the target person presses the call button for 2 seconds or
if the target person has fallen or
if a smoke alarm has been triggered
The help numbers are people from family, friends or neighbors
The emergency number could be 911 or an emergency service such as the family doctor, or service center or mobile care services, if there is an agreement.
4.2 Why is DPDM Fall Detection is more effective than others?
DPDM was developed over several years with scientific support. It evaluates the density spectrum of the forces acting on TNTFD and not the individual signals of the accelerometer. The density spectrum, on the other hand, is almost clear. It is very significant for a person's fall, for the product falling to the ground, for movements of everyday life, etc. That's why there are almost no false alarms.
Other "fall detectors" evaluate the impact, which has a very poor reproducibility, and consequently must evaluate gestures and postures to prevent false alarms. However, such gestures are also ambiguous and difficult to predict in the case of elderly people who have fallen.
5.1 How can I set the time of the device?
The time can be set by an external call. If the connection is existing with an external caller, he can enter the time of the device on the telephone keypad, with the following sequence of numbers:
#8463hhmm# where hh = hour and mm = minute
e.g. 9h35 hh = 09 and mm = 35
The digit sequence 8463 can be remembered as it spells TIME on the keypad.
How accurate is the time?
The internal clock of the device is very precise. However, deviations of 5 minutes per month are possible because the device cannot be synchronized from the outside. The announcement at the push of a button has only a "resolution" of 2.5 minutes.
Normally, the condition “does not react” should never occur. If the device is "not working", then usually it is because the device is not charged.
When the battery is low you will hear "Please charge device", the red LED flashes, for 1 hour and the device will beep as a reminder.
In this case, place the device on the charging pad and wait a few minutes until enough charge so that the device reports again "Battery is being charged". In this case, leave the device on the charging screen for about 1.5 hours.
