telephone).
2. Enter the pass code followed by the # key.

a. Change the system setting.
b. Raise and lower the heat and cool setpoints.
c. Verify that the changes were saved at the thermo-
stat.
d. If zoning is installed, repeat steps a. through c. for

IMPORTANT
Be sure to explain the dial-out alert messages and
possible causes to the homeowner. See Table 14,
"Troubleshooting Information." on page 25.
LED BATTERY INDICATION
A two-colored LED indicator is located in the lower right
corner of the W8735D Telephone Access Module that
indicates device power and battery health.
The LED has the following states:
• Steady Green: Input powered, battery health is good
• Flashing Green: Input powered, battery health is low
• Flashing Alternate Green/Red: Input powered, battery is
dead or missing
• Off: W8735D is not powered
NOTE: A low battery dial-out alert is available. Adjust the
alert priority appropriately. (See "Alert Menu" on
page 16.)
POWER FAILURE (BATTERY
OPERATION)
Power Failure Alert Call (Battery Operation)
During a power failure, the following are in effect:
• Dial-in support is not available during a power outage.
• One dial-out alert sequence occurs per power outage.
• Dial-out happens one hour after the power outage occurs
(no dial-out occurs if the power outage is less than one
hour). The one hour delay is not configurable.
• During a power outage communications are ignored and
the unit goes into sleep mode until power is restored.
W8735D TELEPHONE ACCESS MODULE
After a power failure occurs and the one hour delay is up, the
W8735D dials-out in the following sequence (if the main,
backup, and contractor telephone numbers are entered):
1. The W8735D dials-out to the main telephone number,
and if there is no answer after 10 rings, it dials-out to the
backup number. If there is no answer at the backup
number, the W8735D dials-out to the contractor num-
ber.
2. If the call is picked up, the W8735D announces the wel-
come message followed by, "The power at this location
has been out for one hour."
3. If the call is answered by a voice mail box, the W8735D
leaves the power failure message on the voice mail box
of the called number and then goes into sleep mode
(the W8735D functions are disabled).
4. When the call is answered, the W8735D offers an
option for another alert call to be sent once power has
been restored. However, if an answering machine
answers the call, the restored power alert can not be
sent.
5. After a single, answered dial-out to either the main,
backup, or contractor number, the W8735D goes into
sleep mode and is not available until power is restored.
6. The W8735D will not repeat the dial-out procedure in
case none of the locations answers the power outage
alert dial-out. The W8735D will remain in sleep mode
until power is restored.
Power Restored Alert Call
The power restored call alerts the user that the power is
restored. If this option is not selected (such as when an
answering machine picks up the call), then the power restored
call is not sent.

ALERT MESSAGES

Receiving and Acknowledging Messages
The W8735D dials out (depending on the alert priority) until
the receiving party acknowledges the alert message. The
message is acknowledged by pressing # on the telephone
keypad.
If there is no acknowledgement for a High Priority alert, the
W8735D continues to dial the main, backup, and contractor
telephone numbers (if the numbers are entered) in sequence
every 30 minutes until an acknowledgement is received.
If a Low Priority alert is not acknowledged after calling each of
the 3 telephone numbers, the device dials-out at the user-
specified time the following day and repeats until
acknowledged.
The No Priority alerts are never dialed-out.
IMPORTANT
if the main, backup, or contractor telephone numbers
are not programmed, a dial-out can not be initiated
upon an alert condition.
The W8735D allows the phone to ring 10 times with no
answer before disconnecting.
