Verbatim™ Quick Start Guide
Basic set-up and testing of the Verbatim involves:
1. Program at least one phone number.
2. Program the input channels to reflect alarm conditions.
3. Test the alarm conditions to be sure wiring and programming are correct.
4. Record voice messages, trip delays and other programming as desired.
All programming operations must be done with the unit in the Program mode.
To put the Verbatim autodialer in Program mode, press PROGRAM. Program mode is
indicated by the lighted PROGRAM LED.
Important Note about Shipping and Clearing Memory:
Before you begin programming the Verbatim for your monitoring application it is best to
first clear the unit's memory of any old programming. This step also ensures that
memory corruption, which might have occurred during shipment or due to anomalous
power disturbances, will be wiped away.
Caution:
The following step erases all user programming including recorded messages so
normally it is done only at initial start-up.
To clear the system memory, press: 9 35 9 ENTER
Note: If you make an error in code entry, press CANCEL and start again.
