STANDARD PROGRAMMING - DIAL-ALERT
Once the D ial-Alert is installed, user can start setting up some of the functions such
as what phone number to call, how many times will it call, how many times will it
play the message etc. Please follow the instructions below to set up your Dial-Alert.
When you plug in the dialer for the first time, you will hear a double beep and all the
lights will be on for 2 seconds, the keypad will continue to flash and the clock will
be set to 12:00.
PROGRAM THE TIME CLOCK
1. Press the [L] key, display will show "L".
2. Press the [4] key, display will show " L 4 12:00 ". The first digit of the time will
be flashing. The flashing digit is the number you are currently changing.
3. Using the keypad, enter the desired number.
The clock is in 24 hour mode. For example, if the display shows " L 4
the time is set at 1:30 pm.
To change the time to 8:15 pm, the sequence is (remember that the clock is in 24
hour mode):
[ L ] , [ 4 ] , [ 2 ] , [ 0 ] , [ 1 ] , [ 5 ]
RECORDING A MESSAGE
Currently the keypad is flashing and will continue to flash until a message has
been recorded. The dialer cannot dial any phone numbers if a message has not
been recorded.
To record a voice message, press and hold the [R/P] key for 2 seconds, the display
will show "rEcord" and a beep is generated which alerts you to begin recording.
The microphone is located beside the speaker. Record all the information you
would like to be played in case of an emergency. For example: "This is an emer-
gency voice message, my name is John Smith, please send help, I live at......My
phone number is xxx-xxx-xxxx" (if you have two phone lines, give the phone number
of the line that the dialer is not using.)
This dialer includes a special feature that allows the person who is receiving the
emergency message to terminate it. By pressing "#" while the message is being
played, the Dialer will stop calling that number, then advance to the next number, if
any. We recom mend that a short ending be recorded after the emergency message
informing the recipient of this feature (i.e. this message will call you x times and
repeat x times during each call, to acknowledge and discontinue further calls, press
"#").
After you are finished recording the message, (maximum length of 40 seconds),
press [R/P] key, display will show "PLAY" and play back the message. After playing
the message, the display will return to clock mode. The keypad backlight will stop
flashing indicating that a message has been recorded.
The sequence to record a message is:
Press and hold [ R/P ] for 2 seconds , [ record message ] , press [ R/P ].

STANDARD PROGRAMMING - DIAL ALERT
PLAYBACK PRE-RECORDED MESSAGE
Press and release the [R/P] key, display will show "PLAY" and the dialer will beep.
The message is then played back.
If you want the dialer work without noise, means no beep or let no body knows
the dialer is dialing, just turn off the Speaker Switch inside the case.
STORING TELEPHONE NUMBERS
This feature enables the user to program as many as 9 different telephone num-
bers. The dialer can send out 2 different messages. One message is the pre-
recorded voice message that you programmed earlier, the other message sends
numeric information to a pager.
There are three different ways that you can send the voice message and the
numeric information:
A. Sends the emergency voice message only
B. Sends both the emergency voice message and the numeric infomation
(pager reception only)
C. Sends the numeric information only (for pager reception only)
Cautions:
Skylink recommends that the telephone or pager numbers of your relatives,
neighbors, office/work, friends or doctor be programmed into your Dial-Alert. Do
not program the phone number to police or fire dept directly into your Dial-Alert
unless you have checked with your local authorities. Please also inform all the
recipients that their phone numbers have been programmed into your dialer, so
they know exactly what happen when they receive your emergency message.
A. Storing telephone numbers in memory (Sends the emergency voice
message only)
1. Press the [MEM] key, the display will show a letter "M" on the upper left corner.
If nothing is entered within 5 seconds, the display will return to the clock mode.
2. Within the first 5 seconds, select a memory location by pressing a keypad
number 1 - 9 to store the telephone number.
3. Enter the telephone number using the keypad. The display will flash as the
numbers are being entered. To insert a pause period between any digits of
the pre-programmed telephone number, see PROGRAMMING A PAUSE
PERIOD (page 20).
4. Press the [MEM] key within 5 seconds after the last digit of the telephone
number is entered. The number is now stored.
5. After the telephone number has been stored, "rEdIAL 3" will appear on the
display. This is the redial count which is the number of times the dialer will
call that telephone number. The dialer is factory set to call each number 3
times. The number of attempts can be changed to dial 1 to 9 times. If you
want to keep the dialer at 3 attempts, press the [MEM] key. To change the
redial count, enter a number from 1 - 9 when display shows "rEdIAL 3" .
