2.2 Explanation of Program Menu Options:
Each of the programming options is explained in detail below. Review this
before proceeding to program your FreezeAlarm.
MENU OPTION 1: Review or Program Telephone Numbers
Program your call-to phone numbers here. You can also review or change any
existing phone numbers here if needed as well. The Deluxe FreezeAlarm can
dial up to three phone numbers with each phone number consisting of up to 60
digits. You can include pauses and the star key (*) as part of your phone number
to accommodate calling cards, different phone features and pager systems. Any
or all of these numbers can be to a mobile phone or any other telephone number.
These phone numbers are referred to throughout the rest of this manual as “call-
to phone numbers”.
One or more of the phone numbers may be a pager phone number. If so, you will
have the opportunity during the program sequence to identify which numbers are
pager numbers and which are regular telephone numbers. In addition, you will
also have the opportunity to program a pager display message.
To program a star (*) in your phone number, press the * key on your keypad as
part of the phone number. To enter a two second pause in a call-to phone
number, press the * star key twice. This will count as two digits of your total 60
allowed for that number. You can combine * keys in a phone number to add both
a two second pause and a dialed * star by having three * stars in your phone
number sequence. Three * stars equal a 2 second pause followed by a dialed *
star. Four * stars equal a four second pause in the dialing sequence.
IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT ENTERING YOUR
CALL-TO TELEPHONE NUMBERS
• LONG DISTANCE: Make sure you enter the phone number exactly
like you would dial a voice call. Use a 1 and/or area code if needed. If
dialing internationally, make sure you have the correct country codes
and follow proper international dialing rules. Check with your phone
company for assistance determining the correct number.
