They make use of the opportunity to explain the services, answer questions, obtain special information about conditions and install and test the service. The installation of TeleHelp takes approximately an hour.
Whenever possible, we ask for the presence of a family member, friend or neighbor during the installation process. This generally facilitates the gathering of information protocol of the client and guarantees that people close to the client familiarize themselves with the working of TeleHelp.
