You will be given two chances to enter the correct security code. If incorrect
two times, the FreezeAlarm will say, Incorrect Security Code, good-bye and
then it will hang up. If you enter the correct security code, the FreezeAlarm
will respond with:
The alarm call-out is now canceled. You are now in the main menu. From
here, you can either access main menu functions or hang up.
If the Alarm Call-Out Has Been Canceled By Someone Else:
Since the FreezeAlarm can call multiple phone numbers, there is a chance that a person
at one of the other call-to locations may have canceled the alarm call-out prior to your
phone call to the FreezeAlarm. If that occurs, you will still hear the current status and
all the alarm conditions when you call into the FreezeAlarm, but you will not be given a
chance to cancel the alarm call-out. Instead, the FreezeAlarm will ask for your four
digit security code to access the main menu. You can either enter your security code to
check current conditions again or hang up and determine the steps needed to correct the
alarm conditions.
It is even possible that one of your other call-to people has canceled the alarm call-out
and the alarm conditions have improved at your monitored location. If that has
occurred, you will not hear any alarm conditions, but instead, you will be given a
current status and then an opportunity to enter the main menu.

3.6 Replacing the Back-Up Battery:

When the battery requires replacing, we highly recommend replacing it with a new 9
volt lithium battery. Follow this procedure to change the back-up battery.
1. Switch the front toggle switch to the STANDBY position.
2. Remove the old battery and insert the new battery.
3. Switch the front toggle switch back to the ON position.
A fresh 9V lithium battery will provide approximately 10 to 15 hours of power to the
FreezeAlarm if it is calling out every 15 minutes to all three phone numbers. If it is
calling to fewer numbers, calling out every 2 hours or the alarm call-out was cancelled
during one of the first calls, the battery life should be longer. Too many variables exist
to provide accurate battery life for every condition.
3.7 Disconnecting the FreezeAlarm for Seasonal Storage:
Your FreezeAlarm can provide year round protection, but if desired, it can be safely
stored for seasonal use. To store your FreezeAlarm, disconnect all cables and wires and
take out the battery. If you leave a battery in your FreezeAlarm, the battery will be
dead the next time you are ready to use your FreezeAlarm. Storing electrical devices
with batteries in place is not recommended. Store your FreezeAlarm in a dry place with
no excessive temperatures.
The FreezeAlarm will indefinitely retain all programmed call-to phone numbers and
other programmed settings, even if the power cord is disconnected and the battery has
been removed.
