Chapter 6: Acknowledgment,
In addition to communication and alarm monitoring capabilities,
the Model 800 will also respond to your instructions and provide
you with access to information on monitored conditions at all times.
By issuing commands to the unit, either at the installation site
or over standard telephone lines, the following features may be
activated:
• Acknowledgment of existing alarms
• The Status Report on all monitored conditions.
• Limited programming.

6.1 Alarm Acknowledgment

request acknowledgment before hanging up. Acknowledgment
