"With help from your 2-way talk system I had help Instantly!" Panic Button

RJ31X-Kit

The RJ31X-Kit allows the Rescue Alert Medical Alarm (RA400 model) to call for help when activated even when another telephone extension is off-hook in the house. (see note)

A normal telephone jack (RJ11) uses two wires. The RJ31X jack can use up to 8 wires and a special telephone cable featuring a wider head to support the extra wires. These extra connections allow the Rescue Alert to take control of the telephone line even if another extension is currently off-hook.

After proper installation of the RJ31X-Kit, all of your telephones in the house will continue to work normally with or without the Rescue Alert connected. Only a Rescue Alert can be connected to the RJ31X jack. Connecting other telephone devices will cause all of your telephones in the house to stop working. To connect the Rescue Alert to the RJ31X jack, you must use the Rescue Alert RJ31X cable. This cable is supplied in the RJ31X-Kit and has the wide 8-pin plug on each end.

Installation of the kit is straightforward. The RJ31X jack is mounted to the wall near an existing RJ11 jack and wired into the existing telephone lines.

NOTE: If a telephone is left off hook for a long period of time, the telephone company may disable the telephone service to the house. If this condition arises, service to the house remains unavailable until a service complaint is made to the subscriber's telephone company.

Alarm systems, like Rescue Alert's, depend on telephone service to function. Because there is no operating telephone service, the RJ31X-Kit will not remedy the situation mentioned above.

The amount of time elapsed before the telephone company disables the telephone service varies depending on the telephone company, the type of central office equipment, and other factors.
