INTRODUCTION
Our unique Auto dialer is designed to allow you to create your own security system. It
will alert you of any intrusion, temperature changes or water leakage (depending on what
sensors you have installed). Choose a desired location for the auto-dialer, set the auto-
dialer to ARM mode. Once a sensor sends signal, the auto-dialer will turn on the built-in
siren (if activated) and dial out (if activated) the pre-programmed telephone numbers one
by one, for the pre-programmed cycles. You can set the auto-dialer to chime mode, you
will hear one chime only when a sensor is activated.
THE TELEPHONE DIALER REQUIRES A LAND TELEPHONE LINE TO MAKE
OUTGOING CALLS AND ELECTRICITY.
Important note regarding:
REGARDING AUTO DIALER, ANSWERING MACHINES &
"REMOTE ACTIVATION" allows user to call into the telephone dialer to perform he
following functions: Activate the system
