ˆ Set-up
When you connect the dialer to an alarm sys-
tem and the alarm system is violated, the di-
aler automatically dials the phone numbers
you stored in memory and plays the mes-
sage you recorded.
When the dialer is activated, it resets your
phone line connection, then pauses 15 sec-
onds to disconnect any answering machine
on your phone line. Then the dialer dials the
first number you stored in it and waits 6 rings
for the call to be answered.
If someone answers, the dialer sounds five
single tones (if the alarm is a fire alarm) or
five high-low sounds (if the alarm is a burglar
alarm), then plays your outgoing message if
you recorded one. If no one answers, the di-
aler then calls the next stored number and
repeats this sequence.
Notes:
• If you set the dialer to dial each stored
number only one time (see “Selecting
the Number of Dial Attempts” on
Page 9), it stops after dialing the third
number, even if no one answered. If you
set the dialer to dial each stored number
three times, it repeats the above
sequence for all unanswered numbers
until either someone answers or all three
numbers have been dialed three times.
• If the dialer dials a number and detects a
busy signal, it redials that number only if
you set the dialer to dial each stored
number three times.
• If your alarm system indicates that there
is a fire alarm and a burglar alarm at the
same time, the dialer sounds only the
signal for a fire alarm.
STORING PHONE NUMBERS
IN MEMORY
You can store up to three numbers to be di-
aled in the event of an alarm.
Important:
• We recommend you program the dialer
to call a friend who can determine if
there is a real problem. The person can
then call the police, if necessary, or call
you back to see if everything is fine. You
should
not
program the dialer to dial the
police directly, unless your local police
have a special line for automatic tele-
phone dialers.
• If you want to program the dialer to call
your local police and fire department,
check with them first. Some police and
fire departments do not accept calls
from automatic telephone dialers. If your
police or fire department does not
accept calls from automatic dialing
equipment, you can program it to call a
friend or private security service who
can notify the police or fire department,
if necessary.
• If you want to program the dialer to call a
private security service, note that some
private security services charge a fee to
accept calls from automatic dialing
equipment. For more information, call
the private security services in your
area.
