You should
not
program the con-
sole to dial the police directly,
unless your local police depart-
ment has a special line for emer-
gency dialers.
When programming emergency num-
bers and/or making test calls to emer-
gency numbers:
Remain on the line and briefly
explain to the dispatcher the rea-
son for the call.
Perform such activities in off-peak
hours, such as early morning or
late evenings.
Notes:
The security console is intended
for use only with residential phone
systems.
You can program a maximum of
16 digits. This allows 10-digit dial-
ing (area code plus number)
which is now required in some
metropolitan areas. For practical
purposes, we do not recommend
programming a long-distance
number.
Follow these steps to store up to four
emergency phone numbers.
1. Set the switch
on the bottom
of the console
to
TONE or
PULSE, based
on the type of
phone service
you have.
2. Set
INSTALL/RUN 1/RUN 2 on the
console to
INSTALL.
3. Press
PROG.
4. Enter the first phone number that
you want the console to call in the
event of a problem.
5. Press
MEM.
6. Press
1 to store the phone num-
ber in memory location 1.
Press
PROG and enter the second
phone number; then press
MEM
and 2. Press PROG and enter the
third phone number; then press
MEM and 3. Press PROG and
enter the fourth phone number;
then press
MEM and 4.
Notes:
If you only want to program one
phone number, just enter the
same number in every memory
location.
• If you store only one emer-
gency number in all four mem-
ory locations, there is a longer
delay between each time the
console calls the number back.
Repeat Steps 1–6 to change a phone
number.
