Communicating Using Text Messages (PCS Series)

You can communicate with your security system using text messages (SMS) by using system accessories called PCS250/PCS250G/PCS265LTE modules (sold
separately). The GSM module allows you to receive text messages of system events, such as alarms or troubles, on your cellular phone. It also allows you to send text
messages to arm or disarm your system from anywhere in the world. Consult your installer for more information.
