A Quick Explanation
All telephone feature commands are initiated from the keypad of your touch tone phone. They
are simple to use and easy to remember! All telephone feature commands begin with the #
(pound) symbol (factory preset).
NOTE: You have the option of choosing the * (star) symbol as the beginning
command key. This is selectable via DIP switch number 1 on the front of the
COM2. You may wish to select the star (*) command key if the pound symbol
is not compatible with your telephone/home office equipment or security
system that you are currently using in the home.
The second key press in each command coincides with the first letter of that feature––for
instance to place a caller on Hold, press #, then 4 (the H key on your telephone keypad).
The COM2 feature key press sequences can also be programmed to your telephone’s Speed
Dial buttons, For example: #,P can be programmed to Speed Dial Number 1 for Paging
throughout the home; #,D,1 and #,D,2 can be programmed to Speed Dial Numbers 2 & 3 for
instant doorspeaker communication; #1,1 (activate relay #1) can be programmed to Speed
Dial Number 4 to turn the lights on throughout the house at the press of a single digit (X-10
lighting control module or similar device required).
How To
Page- To Page throughout the house, simply press # , then 7 (the P key on your telephone
keypad). Speak into the phone receiver and your voice will be heard throughout the
house over the system's speakers. If music is present on the system's speakers, it will
automatically mute - allowing your page to be heard. If you have a caller on the line,
they will automatically be put on hold. You can get the caller back by simply pressing
any key (except “0”) on the telephone keypad or flash hook.
Phone-To-Phone Intercom - This feature allows you to first, Page a family member over the
house speakers, then speak with them over the phone without the conversation being
heard over the in-wall speakers. To perform this function, simply press
# , then 7 (the P
key on your keypad) followed by the numeric
0 key.
Place A Caller On Hold - To place a caller on hold, simply press # , then 4 (the H key on your
keypad) and hang up. The call can then be taken on another phone elsewhere in your
home. Music-On-Hold is available to the outside caller while on hold.
Communicate With a Door Station - To speak with visitors at any one of four entrances to
your home, simply press
# , then 3 (the D key on your telephone keypad) then the
number for the Door Station you wish to communicate with (
1-4 ). (Requires ELAN Door
Station Assembly DSF3, DSS3, or DSC3). Should you need to communicate with
multiple Door Stations at the same time, you can toggle between them by pressing
# , 3
(to speak with the door station that most recently had it's DB pressed), then
2 (speak
with Door Station 2), then
3 (speak with Door Station 3), then 1 (speak with Door
