"Follow Me" Announcement Feature

"Follow Me" Reminder and System Announcements
If the "Follow Me" Announcement feature has been programmed your system will automatically dial a
telephone number and deliver a voice message. The two different types of "Follow Me" messages include
system and reminder announcements.
System Announcements
The Lynx Plus Series can be programmed to trigger "Follow Me" system announcements by one or a
combination of the following events:
•
Alarm
•
Trouble
•
Arming/Disarming (by a keyfob or users 5-8*)
*see Security Codes section for user code descriptions.
Ask your installer about the events that trigger "Follow Me" system announcements.
"Follow me" system announcements are delivered to a phone number that has been programmed by
your installer. The voice message is a repeatable system status message (i.e. "Disarm Ready to Arm"
when system was disarmed; "Armed Away" when system was armed; "Alarm Front Door" when an
alarm occurred, etc). In addition, a special repeatable voice message ("System, System...") can be
triggered manually by pressing the AUX key on the keypad and holding it down for 4 seconds.
NOTE: This is similar to the manual paging feature (see Paging Feature for details).
Reminder Announcements
The "Follow me" reminder announcement is triggered by the scheduler if Reminder Announcements
has been chosen as Event Identifier (see Scheduling User interface for details).
NOTE: The "Follow me" reminder can only be used if the "Follow me" or Pager feature has been
programmed by your installer.
The "Follow me" reminder voice message is the same reminder that is played through a local speaker.
The reminder should be recorded by your installer. The "Follow me" reminder message will be delivered
to a phone number that your installer has programmed or that you can program by yourself. If the
"Follow me" reminder phone number has not been programmed, or has been deleted, the reminder is
announced through a local speaker only.
After the "Follow me" system or reminder announcement is delivered you can terminate it by pressing
any key on the telephone keypad. If the message is not acknowleged/terminated Lynx Plus Series will
attempt to deliver the message and will redial the "Follow Me" telephone number a maximum of eight
times.
