SETTING UP THE TELEPHONE DIALER
The telephone dialer dials a friend or
neighbor (for example) and plays a
message in the following situations:
when you press
PANIC on the
hand-held remote control with the
system armed
when you press
ARM and DISARM
together on the keychain remote
control with the system armed
when a wireless sensor transmit-
ter or motion detector connected
to the system reports a violation
while the system is armed
When the console plays its message,
the person contacted can press any
number on a touch-tone phone and
listen-in to your home to determine
the problem. The alarm stops when
the person contacted presses a but-
ton on the phone.
If no one answers at the number called
within about 48 seconds, or if someone
answers but does not press a number,
the console calls the next number (up
to four phone numbers).
Notes:
If the person you choose to accept
calls from your system does not
have touch-tone service, they can
use a touch-tone pocket dialer,
such as Cat. No. 43-145 or 43-
146.
If the person tries to call you after
the console has already begun
dialing other numbers, the caller
hears a busy signal.
About 75 seconds after the lis-
tener presses a number, the alarm
resumes for 2–3 minutes.
The console continues dialing and
repeating its message until it gets
a response. If it receives no
response within 4 minutes, the
alarm stops and the console stops
dialing.
To stop the console from dialing
before 4 minutes have passed,
pick up any phone on the same
line. After you hear the first ring of
the number currently being dialed,
press
0. Stay on the line to speak
to whomever answers, and wait 2
minutes (for the console to
release the phone line) before
pressing any other keys on the
remote control or console or
attempting to dial another number.

NUMBERS
Notes
:
You should program the console
to call a friend, relative or neigh-
bor who can listen-in to your home
to determine if there is a real prob-
lem. The person can then call the
police if necessary, or call you
back to see if everything is fine.
