Tip-over trigger period

Length of time a device must be moved away from upright, until the user

warning buzzer sounds (seconds).

User alert period

Length of time that the buzzer sounds on the device, without it being returned

to the upright position and the cancel button pressed, before the alarm is raised

(seconds).

Snatch cord

For pagers fitted with a snatch cord (later models only).

Snatch cord enabled

When enabled, the user will raise an alarm whenever the snatch cord on a

pager fitted with this device is removed. The alarm will be automatically

cleared when the snatch cord is reattached.

Note: For earlier pager models without the snatch cord option, or where the

blanking plug is used instead of the snatch cord, this feature should always be

disabled.

Alert text

Modifiable text appears in the message sent to pagers when this alarm is

activated. Default text is ‘Snatched’.

Location alarm enabled

Enable the location-based alarm. This is raised if the unit is moved to an area

covered by repeaters assigned to an unauthorised zone. Check the box to

enable this feature. Enter the text to be displayed when the alarm is triggered.

Location audible alert / vibrate alert

The mobile device beeper and vibrate functions can be enabled or disabled

when the alarm is raised, allowing either covert or normal alarm operation.

Check boxes to enable alert.

Report in zones

To select those zones where the alarm is to be raised, check the box

associated with that zone. If the pager or call fob enters an unauthorised

(checked) zone the location alarm will be raised. The location alarm will be

cancelled automatically if the pager or call fob re-enters an authorised

(unchecked) zone.

Alarm clearance alert text

Modifiable text appears in the message sent to pagers when any alarm for this

device is cleared. The default text is ‘Cleared’.

Alarm escalation period

If an active alarm is not cleared within this period of time (minutes), then the

device resends the alarm with an alternate escalation level.

After selecting the above parameters, click ‘Submit’ to enter the changes.
