Testing Communication
Communication between your system, the central monitoring station, pager and your
remote phone (voice event notification) should be tested at least once per week to make
sure you have the proper telephone connection.

nected to a central monitor-
ing station and you don’t use
a pager or remote phone,

the phone test.

will announce Phone test ok within 3 minutes. The panel will announce Phone test is on
three times if you have a pager or remote phone. If the phone test to the pager was suc-
cessful, your pager will display -101. If the phone test to the remote phone was success-
ful, you will hear Phone test ok (see “Phone Commands” table for more information)
from your remote phone. If the test is unsuccessful, the SYSTEM STATUS button will
light and within 10 minutes the panel will announce Phone communication failure. If a
phone test fails, call your security system dealer.

the premises, or if they are placed behind doors or other obstacles.
If intruders gain access through unprotected points of entry or areas where sensors
have been bypassed.
