Troubleshooting
Type of fault: Cause: Action:
Tactum does not receive an alert
from one of the transmitters. 1. The distance between Tactum
and the Repeater or between
the transmitter and Repeater is
too great.
1. Test by moving the Repeater
to another location. If you do
not have a Repeater installed,
you may need one to increase
the range.
2. The transmitter has a flat
battery. 2. Change the battery (see
transmitter user manual).
3. The transmitter is defective. 3. Contact the place of purchase
for repair.
Tactum does not receive an
alarm, even though the watch
mechanism is working.
The battery is flat. The watch
mechanism has its own battery
and is still working.
Place the watch on charge.
Tactum often receives false
alarms. Someone in the vicinity has the
same system installed. Change to another channel on
all units.
The under-pillow vibrator does
not vibrate when there is an
alarm from the alarm clock.
1. The under-pillow vibrator
connector or the cable to it has
been removed.
1. Insert the cables properly.
2. The microphone switch is in
the wrong position. 2. See the Alarm call section,
page 5, for the correct switch
position.
An incorrect alarm is indicated
when Tactum receives an alert
from a transmitter.
The transmitter alarm code has
been set incorrectly. Change the transmitter alarm
code (see transmitter user
manual).
Changing channels
The transmitters in the Lynx system transmit the signal wirelessly to Tactum. They can transmit on
a total of 16 different channels (0-9, A-F). Tactum and all transmitters must be set to the same chan-
nel so that they can communicate. They are pre-set to channel 9, and then operate together without
alteration.
In some cases, it may be necessary to change the channel setting. If two or more users live near one
another, the alarms can interfere. This can be rectified by changing the channel settings so that they
are different for everyone. Any channel can be selected except Channel 0. (Channel 0 is reserved for a
common alert such as a fire alarm.)
To change channels on Tactum you need the “Channel Selector, Lynx Tactum”, which you can
purchase from us.
