System Status; Using An Offsite Phone - GE Simon XT User Manual

System status

Press Status (no code is required) to cause the system to display and speak the
following types of information:
• Alarm conditions
• Alarm history
• Trouble conditions
• Open sensors
• Bypassed sensors
The Status button blinks when an active alarm exists. The Status button is lit when an
abnormal condition such as a trouble or open sensor exists in the system.
You can clear certain status entries from the system (such as an alarm history) by
pressing Disarm after checking the status.

Using an offsite phone

(This feature has not been verified for use by UL.)
If enabled by the installer, you can control your Simon XT panel remotely from an
offsite phone. The panel answers a phone call according to the dialing method
programmed by your installer.
After a certain combination of rings and pauses, the panel will answer the call with
the voice prompt Enter Your Code. You must enter the correct code to gain access.
If you are interacting with your panel and the panel hangs up on you, the system is
calling in a report to the central monitoring station or remote phone due to an action
by you or someone at the security system site. The actions listed in Table 6 below
may be performed from an offsite phone.
