How to self-install your Tunstall Caresse GSM alarm
Please note: This alarm has been pre-programmed to connnect to the
Tunstall emergency response centre.
DO NOT REPROGRAM THIS ALARM.
Simply follow the setup instructions as below to install your alarm.
Step 1. If your alarm has not been provided with a SIM please arrange and
insert a SIM card.
(NB. If your alarm has been provided with a SIM please go direct to Step 2.)
In order to use the GSM mobile network a SIM card must be fitted into the
Tunstall Caresse GSM.
• The SIM fits into the slot on the left hand side of the unit. Insert the SIM
card with the gold contact side of the SIM facing down by pushing it into
the home unit until it clicks, then release. If required, a SIM PIN number
can be entered using the keypad on the underside of the home unit.
• To remove the SIM card, push the SIM gently into the unit until it clicks
and then release. The SIM card will eject and can then be taken out of
the home unit.
Please note: When operating over a GSM network, the home unit will not
work unless there is satisfactory GSM availability. See p.11 of the user guide
for further information on status LED signal strength.
IMPORTANT: The Tunstall Caresse GSM is a safety product that needs to
work in an emergency therefore ‘prepaid’ SIM cards should not be used as
they may run out of ‘talk time’ credit or unused credit may expire. Tunstall
recommends that a contract SIM should always be used.

the alarm unit’s status LED.

Press the alarm button (red) on your alarm to place a test call to the Tunstall
response centre. Advise the response operator that you are installing your
new Tunstall Caresse GSM alarm. The response operator will confirm your
details and guide you through a check point test of various points around your
property. This ensures the radio range provides sufficient coverage for the user
to raise an alarm call via the radio trigger pendant.
