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
hand-held remote control with the
system armed
• when you press
ARM
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.

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

attempting to dial another number.
• 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.
