Follow these steps to program and record your outgoing message. Skip this portion if you have programmed in only numeric pagers, which don’t require a voice message. As with all WA-900 programming, the unit need not be connected to a phone line when information is programmed in. Remember that “OGM” stands for outgoing message (total OGM time is 20 seconds).
Programming The Input In this section, “the input” refers to the small pendant transmitter that is worn by the person at risk of wandering. The Receiver/Dialer is looking for check-in signals from the pendant transmitter at 10 second intervals. Your setting on the range dial determines how many missing check-in signals can occur before the Receiver/Dialer will go into alarm and will dial each phone/pager number selected, in sequence.
T e s t i n g T h e W A - 9 0 0 Test your system before an emergency occurs. Do not forget to review programmed information and verify all parts of your system thoroughly before relying on the dialer to notify you about a wandering patient.

Placing your system in OPERATE can also be used as a final test of the full functionality of the WA-900. In the OPERATE mode the OGM will not be heard through your dialer’s speaker but only by each party called.
