onds), beginning five minutes prior to the termination of the test.

Allowing Computer Access To Your System

From time to time, your installer may need to send information to or retrieve information from your

line. You may need to prepare your system to receive this 'downloading' call. To do this:
1. Press [,][6][Master code][5] at any keypad or
2. Press Options, User Functions [Master Code], then Enable DLS from the Touchscreen.
This allows downloading for a limited period of time. During this time, the system will answer incom-
ing downloading calls.
