Using the Speaker Phone Feature
When the ReadyGuard-REN is operating in the speaker phone mode the system keypad functions as a
telephone keypad and the only security keypad functions that will remain enabled are the panic keys and the
speaker volume control. (refer to Volume Adjustment section) You may adjust the volume before entering
speaker phone mode or after dialing the desired number. In the speaker phone mode, if a zone is violated
and has triggered an entry/exit delay, the system will automatically change the keypad from telephone to
security mode. This allows the user to disarm the system or take other appropriate actions in the security
mode without interrupting the telephone session. To regain telephone keypad control (i.e.: to enter an
account number or menu selection) you will need to reactivate the telephone keypad as described below.
