• 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
number.
Follow these steps to store up to four
emergency phone numbers.
