Follow-Me Feature (audio beeps)

• This feature lets users enter up to three phone numbers (system-wide) that the system will
About Follow-
Me/Beeps call in the event of an alarm in any partition at the protected premises, thus alerting the
user to the alarm. The follow-me feature works as follows:
• When an alarm occurs, the system reports the alarm to the central station (and pre-
determined pagers, if programmed), then dials the first follow-me phone number.
• After dialing, the system waits a short time (about one ring plus any programmed pauses;
see "To enter a follow-me number" below for programming pauses) then begins sending
message tones (regardless of whether the call is answered).
• When answered, the user will hear the message tones (a series of eight tones or "beeps")
followed by a pause of about four seconds, then the tones are repeated. The cycle of tones
and pauses continues for about one minute.
• The user should press the [∗ ∗ ∗ ∗ ] key on the telephone to acknowledge hearing the tones,
then wait for the control to disconnect the line before hanging up. IMPORTANT: Press the
[∗] during a pause between tone cycles. Otherwise, the control may not "hear" the [∗] key if
pressed while the tones are being sent.
• If the user does not press the [∗] key, the control hangs up when the 1-minute tone cycle is
complete, then dials the second follow-me phone number. The control sends the tones as
described above.
• If the second number is not acknowledged by the user pressing the [∗] key, the control dials
the third number. If the [∗] key is not pressed during the third call, the control redials the
first number and the cycle repeats up to three times or until a user presses the [∗] key on
the telephone.
• If the follow-me number is for a pager, the message displayed on the pager is as follows: 104
P ZZZ
Where "P" is the partition number, "ZZZ" is the 3-digit zone number of the zone in alarm.
