Chapter 4 About Your CareConnect™
Welcome to the CareConnect™ Family Communicator.
We care about keeping you connected
The CareConnect Family Communicator is an Intelligent Digital Picture Frame designed to simplify communication
between family members and friends as well as between you and your health care providers. The seven inch touch
screen color display scrolls photographs from a USB memory stick located on the back housing of the CareConnect.
The 1GB memory stick can hold approximately 3,000 photographs delivered by the CareConnect server when attached
to the emails you receive. The CareConnect comes with 10 preloaded pictures which can be deleted at any time (See
Chapter 3, Removing Photographs from your CareConnect). Additionally your CareConnect can function as a
clock/calendar.
The CareConnect is a wireless communications device that contains both Wi-Fi™ for message communicating through a
Wi-Fi hub, and Bluetooth™ for communicating with the optional motion detector. At the appropriate times, it
automatically converts from a clock/calendar or digital picture frame to a communications device, delivering email
messages, photographs, as well as reminders to take your medications or reminders about appointments. Message or
reminder notifications are indicated by the flashing green LED MAIL button and audible tones. The audible tones can
be silenced.
Although the CareConnect is an email device and connects through the internet, it is not a web browser or general
purpose portable computer device. It is a device specific for family communications. The large stylus, stored on the
top rear edge of the frame, is perfect for working the soft keys on the screen or the large format typing keyboard on the
display when typing messages or responses.
There is an internal battery that provides for minimal backup time in case of power failure. It has stereo speakers on
the rear of the display as well as a mini-phone jack for connecting standard headphones. On the front of the display
frame is a 2 megapixel camera and a microphone used for taking pictures to attach to outgoing messages or can be used
for video conferencing over a Wi-Fi hub. The Wi-Fi signal is indicated by a glowing green LED on the lower left corner
of the display frame (a red LED indicates no Wi-Fi connection).
Besides the soft keys on the touch screen display, there are four hard buttons along the lower front edge of the screen.
These include:
HOME: Pressing this button always returns you to the clock/calendar or digital picture frame from anywhere in
the program
MAIL: Pressing this button displays incoming messages or the message log
OPTIONS: Pressing this button displays the Options page with access to medication and appointment
reminders as well as other features described in Chapter 3, “Using Your CareConnect” and Chapter 3, “Settings”
POWER: Pressing this button once while the CareConnect is on, will turn the display off or on. See Chapter 3.
Subscription to the CareText™ service (See Chapter 5, Signing Up for CareText Support) and use of the CareConnect
Applications provide additional features that enhance the communication experience for you and your family:
Preformatted messages that enable nearly 1 touch responses to your family with large soft key selections
Photo compression on inbound messages, saving megabytes of data transmission and associated costs with
each photo received
Outbound email to SMS text messages that enables nearly instantaneous communication with family and
friends with cellphones.
Cloud backup storage of the last 50 messages you’ve received.
5
Access to the optional motion detector for security or activity monitoring
And the CareConnect requires no knowledge or experience with computers and there is only one cable, the power cord,
to plug into an electrical outlet. When you turn on the CareConnect, the autostart provides for a choice of displaying a
clock/calendar or digital picture frame. There are no programs to launch and nothing to enter to begin experiencing
the benefits of staying connected with your family. We hope you will enjoy the CareConnect experience.

Chapter 8 System Options
Bluetooth™ Motion Detector
As an activity monitor, it is used to determine if a person is active in a space within the home. The motion detector
should be set up in a pathway to a location that is used every day such as the bathroom or kitchen. In this mode, it will
send out a message if there is no activity within the set window of time. As a security monitor, if the motion detector
sees activity during the window of time, it will take a photograph of what the camera sees and will email it to the
identified contact (See Chapter 4, You and Your Contacts). It will continue to take pictures at a set interval as long as it
continues to see activity. Read the instructions that come with the Bluetooth Motion Detector for setting it up.
CareText™ Communications Application
CareText™ is an application for smartphone, tablets and computers that enhances communications with the
CareConnect. The matching software in the CareConnect recognizes messages formatted by CareText and displays the
large keys for responding to questions. It compresses photographs coming to the CareConnect to reduce data
transmission fees and enables messages from the CareConnect to be sent to mobile phones as SMS text messages.
You may have signed up for CareText when you purchased your CareConnect. If not, you can order it at
www.CeretecInc.com/CareConnect/Register. If your family or friends are using CareText on their smartphones, you
still need to be registered to use all of its features.

Wireless Safety and Compliance
Turn your wireless connection off in areas where wireless use is forbidden or when it may cause interference or danger.
Some specific situations are described below. In general, you should not use your CareConnect with your wireless
connection turned on any place you are not allowed to use a cellular device.
Using Your CareConnect Around Other Electronic Devices
The CareConnect generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency (RF) energy and, if not used in accordance with its
instructions, may cause interference to radio communications and electronic equipment. External RF signals may affect
improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic operating systems, entertainment systems, and personal
medical devices.
While most modern electronic equipment is shielded from external RF signals, if in doubt, check with the manufacturer.
For personal medical devices (such as pacemakers and hearing aids), consult with your physician or the manufacturer to
determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF signals.
Steps to Minimize Interference
If your CareConnect does cause interference to radio or television reception (which you can determine by turning your
CareConnect off and on), you can try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: reorient or
relocate the receiving antenna for the radio or television; increase the separation between the radio or television and
your CareConnect; connect equipment and receivers to different outlets; or consult the radio or television
manufacturer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Watch for Signs
There are some places where RF signals could constitute a hazard, such as health care facilities, and construction sites.
If you are not sure, look around for signs indicating that two-way radios or cell phones should be turned off.
In addition, turn off and do not charge your device if you are in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere, as
sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire. Such areas are usually, but not always, clearly identified, and
include areas where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
