If you armed the system for instant
alert, you must disarm the system
from a phone you can reach with-
out setting off the alarm.
If the entry delay has elapsed, you
must wait for the system to contact
ORCA Monitoring Services and
begin sounding the siren before
you can disarm the system.
REMOTE ARM/DISARM
You can arm and disarm your system
by calling your home. If you have an an-
swering machine, wait for the answer-
ing machine to answer, then enter the
arm or disarm code (1-800-YOUR PIN
+ A (2) to arm with an entry delay, I (4)
to arm for instant alert, or D (3) to dis-
arm). The system sounds one tone to
verify arming, two tones to verify dis-
arming, or three tones if there is a prob-
lem.
If you do not have an answering ma-
chine, ORCA Monitoring Services can
have your system answer the phone af-
ter a specified number (the preferred
setting is 8 rings). Enter the arm or dis-
arm sequence when ringing stops.
Notes:
Remote arming and disarming
does not work if you have voice mail,
call forwarding, another telephone ser-
vice that routes unanswered calls to an-
other number, or an answering machine
that holds the line for more than 60 sec-
onds after you hang up, and might not
work with all remote-controlled answer-
ing machines.
ALARM CONDITIONS
When the system detects a violation, it
calls ORCA Monitoring Services then
starts a 5-minute alert siren. ORCA
Monitoring Services first calls your
home to try to confirm the alarm. If no
one answers, or if the person who an-
swers does not know your password,
ORCA Monitoring Services notifies the
police and also tries to contact at least
one person you listed on your monitor-
ing service agreement.
After 5 minutes, the system stops
sounding the siren and rearms. The
next time you disarm the system, it
sounds three tones to let you know that
the system was violated.
Note:
If your system has repeated false
alarms, ORCA Monitoring Services
might temporarily disarm your system
until the problem is resolved.
CLEARING THE SERVICE
INDICATOR
After you start service with ORCA Mon-
itoring Services, the yellow indicator
flashes when ORCA Monitoring Servic-
es needs to contact you. If the SER-
VICE indicator flashes, call 1-800-FOR-
ORCA to find out how to clear the indi-
cator. The system still functions as a
stand alone alarm when the indicator is
flashing, but it does not call ORCA Mon-
itoring Services during an alert.
