Beyond the Basics
Operating Your System from an
Outside Telephone
Your Security Console has remote telephone access, with voice
responses to acknowledge receipt of remote commands.
When you call home, your Security Console answers and says
“Please enter PIN.”
1. Enter your PIN using the touch tone buttons on the remote
telephone.
2. If the PIN is entered correctly, your system says “PIN accepted.”
If wrong, it says “Error.”
3. Press 0, and then * (on the remote telephone’s touch-tone
keypad) to arm your Security Console.
4. Press 0, and then # to disarm the Console.
Pressing 9, 9, and then * displays the current system status: I.E.
Armed Home, Armed away, Disarmed, Panic alarm, or Alarm in
zone (1 – 32).
If the alarm tripped because zone 3 was violated, when you call in
and press 9, 9, *, you will hear “Alarm in zone 3.”
remotely controlling lights (or appliances)
via telephone
If you install one or more Plug ‘n Power modules (sold separately),
see previous page, you can control lights and appliances around
your home from any touch tone telephone in the world.
When you call home, your Security Console answers and says
“Please enter PIN.” If the PIN is entered correctly it says “PIN
accepted”. If wrong, it says “Error.”
If you press 4, and then * on a touch-tone phone, it says “4 On” and
turns on any Plug ‘n Power module(s) set to Unit Code 4 (and the
same Housecode as the Security Console).
If you press 1, and then 6, then # on the touch-tone phone, it says
“16 Off” and turns off any Plug ‘n Power module(s) set to Unit Code
16 (and the same Housecode as the Security Console).
If you have an answering machine, and it picks up the call (or if
someone picks up the phone), the security system will not answer
the call. You can still enter your PIN to access the security system
features above. Wait until your answering machine completes its
outgoing message, and then enter your security system PIN.
