Wireless Nurse Call Stations are splash resistant and suitable for mounting in resident rooms, dining rooms, common areas and corridors. The Call Station has a touch sensitive green CALL button with call-placed LED. An optional call cord socket can be used to connect push button or geriatric call cords. Call stations also have a touch-sensitive Cancel button to cancel calls at the point of origin. Operation To place a call, the user simply presses the green CALL button or activates the call cord. When the Call Station receives confirmation from the system that the signal has been received, the LED will flash Green. The confirmation process usually takes less than one second. If for any reason the call station is out of range, or the signal is not confirmed, the LED will flash Red to notify the user to try again. If the call is successful, the Green LED will continue to flash intermittently until the call is cancelled at the station. To cancel the call, the responding staff member presses the cancel ‘C’ button. For stations equipped with call cord sockets, a “Call Cord Out” call will be raised if the call cord is removed from the socket. This ensures that staff are alerted if a resident accidentally pulls the call cord from the station. “Call Cord Out” calls can be cancelled either by replacing the call cord or by pressing the cancel button. No dummy plugs are required if the call cord is removed and the call is cancelled. When a Call Station is activated, the signal is sent to the nearest receiver, which then sends a message to the Vigil Central Computer. The call is displayed on the Vigil® Active Calls Screen and is also sent to designated pagers or wireless phones. Using the Vigil® Calls software, the active calls can be displayed on any computer in the building that is on the facility’s network. The call information displayed on the Active Calls Screen includes the type of call, the location of the call station, the time the call was activated and the number of subsequent repeat calls that were sent if the call is not cancelled right away. When the battery level drops to the minimum operating level, a Low Battery alert will be generated. The Low Battery alert will be displayed on the Vigil Calls screen and can also be sent to pagers or phones. See the Specifications section for battery details and instructions for replacing batteries.
