4. If both codes (phone code and system code) were entered correctly,
the system will be accessed and will automatically provide a
status report of the security system. See System Status Reports
on page 15.
If either code was entered incorrectly, the system will wait for the
correct entry of each code, as before. If the key input limit is
exceeded, there will be a disconnect.
Once the system is accessed successfully and the status report begins,
you can then execute system commands (such as arm, disarm, etc.)
using the keypad on the phone. See Executing System Commands
Via the Phone that follows on page 8.

The 2-digit phone code should be entered during a pause* in the
outgoing message on the answering machine. In some cases, it may be
necessary to re-record the outgoing message on the answering
machine to allow a pause of about 2 seconds at its beginning to permit
entry of your 2-digit phone code when calling in from outside. The
person who installed your security system should have instructed you
in the proper procedure.
* The reason for entry during a pause is that touch tones (produced
by entry of the 2-digit phone code) might not be received by the
security system while an answering machine's outgoing phone
message is on the phone line. Also, the 2-digit phone code should
be entered before the answering machine starts recording to
prevent the phone code tones from being recorded, and later played
back if the answering machine has a remote message playback
feature.
