DTMF Channel Menu Instructions:

70 – AutoScan mode/Channel Alarm enable: This function lets you add or remove the current

channel to the group of channels that are spoken during a channel AutoScan (00). Autoscan

must be enabled for a channel to report alarms. Enter one (1) to attach this channel

to the AutoScan group. Enter zero (0) to disable scanning of this channel. Example: 70, Sicon

beeps, 0, Sicon beeps twice. This channel is now part of the AutoScan group and AutoScan

setup is now ended. You must enter 70 again if you change you mind. Removing a channel from

Autoscan can be a convenient way to silence all alarms on that channel. See also #74 for disabling specific alarms.
