4. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to turn the telephone setting ON or OFF
5. Press the ARM/DISARM button once to confirm the selection.
6. Press the PROG button four times to exit the telephone set up mode.
7. Setting the Number of Calling Cycles
NOTE: During an alarm condition, the monitoring system will call each user-programmed phone number, sound
a 30-second alarm tone, and repeat the sequence up to 5 total times (or cycles). This setting determines how
many times the monitoring system calls each number in the event of an alarm condition. After the unit calls
each phone number, it will cycle through the numbers again based on this CYCLE setting.
The unit has been pre-set at the factory to call the programmed telephone numbers for three cycles. To change to any
number of cycles from 1 to 5:
1.
Enter your password on the keypad
2. Press the PROG button five times until the CYCLE icon starts blinking on the display
3. Press the ARM/DISARM button to confirm that you want to be in the CYCLE setting.
4. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to select the number of cycles to be called.
5. Press the ARM/DISARM button once to confirm the selection.
6. Press the PROG button three times to exit the cycle set up mode.
7. The 10-digit display will reappear on the LCD screen.
8. Panic Button Operation
The unit’s temperature sensor can be overridden by pressing the red PANIC button on the keypad. Pressing this button will
sound the siren immediately and the calling cycle will commence after 30 seconds. To reverse the panic button and stop the
calling cycle:
1.
Enter your password on the keypad
2. Press the ARM/DISARM button
Testing the Programmed Outgoing Telephone Numbers
Once you are finished programming the outgoing phone numbers, you must test the Home Monitoring System to confirm that you
have entered the telephone numbers correctly and that the unit is compatible with both your telephone line and the telephone(s)
being called.
1. Make sure the unit is NOT ARMED, or in “standby mode”. Unless you have previously ARMED the unit, it will already
be in standby mode. If the unit is ARMED, the word ARM will be displayed at the bottom of the LCD Home Screen. If
the unit is in standby mode (DISARMED), the word ARM will not be displayed on the bottom of the home screen.
2. Press and hold the “PROG” key until you hear a beep or click sound, usually it takes about 3-5 seconds. As SOON as
you hear the beep, RELEASE the PROG key immediately.
3. After you release the PROG key, quickly press the number of the memory location of the telephone number to be tested
(1, 2, 3, 4, or 5) on the keypad. You will see the phone number for that memory location start to dial across the screen,
and then begin to blink. This means the unit is calling the phone number that is blinking. That phone number should
receive a phone call shortly, and the alarm tone will be heard. The alarm tone will sound for about 30 seconds after the
number is dialed. It doesn't matter if the call is answered or a voice mail or answering machine picks up. The alarm is 30
seconds, and a message may or may not be recorded depending on the length of the recording and number of rings.
4. If the phone number is to a remote location, such as a friend or neighbor, notify that person to contact you with the
results and confirm the call was placed successfully.
* IMPORTANT NOTE: This test call is very time-sensitive regarding how long you hold down and release the PROG button when
forcing the test call. Please note, when you hold down the PROG button, as soon as you hear the beep you must release the
PROG button immediately. Then press the number key (1, 2, 3, 4 or 5) quickly after the PROG is released. If the PROG button is
not released right away, the test call might not work and the unit might ask for a password. If this happens, try holding the PROG
button again and releasing it right when you hear the beep. If it still doesn't work, check the MEMORY to confirm the phone
number wasn't deleted by accident.
To check the programmed number, enter the password, press PROG twice, if the word MEMORY is flashing, press
ARM/DISARM. You should now see the phone number in the first slot, and you can press UP or DOWN to cycle through the
memory slots. If the number does not appear, you will have to re-enter the phone number and press ARM/DISARM to save it
when finished. If you press ARM/DISARM any time other than right after you entered the phone number, it will ERASE the
number.
Arming the System
Once all of the phone numbers have been successfully tested in the above step, the unit is ready to be ARMED and begin
monitoring your location. To ARM the system:
1. Enter your password on the keypad
2. Press the ARM/DISARM button.
3. Three short beeps will sound and the word ARM will be displayed on the LCD screen.
4. Another single beep will sound after 60 seconds signaling that the Freeze Monitor is fully armed.
5. To DISARM the unit at any time, enter your password and press the ARM/DISARM button – the word ARM will
disappear from the bottom of the LCD Home Screen.
