GENERAL OPTIONS SETTING

The following features are selectable in the general options
setting folder:

Telephone numbers:

It is possible to set two telephone numbers for automatic send-
ing of alarm messages and sending of information messages
upon a call from one of these phones. Valid values are num-
bers of a maximum of 20 digits, with the country code in front
and without spaces or “+” symbol (e.g. for Italy 39335.....)

Note

At least a value for telephone number #1 must be inserted to
proceed with configuration.

Note

The country code is necessary, otherwise HI504901 will not be
able to send any SMS.

Note

The set phone number are not saved on the phonebook
area of the SIM card. If there are some phone numbers pre-
viously stored on any SIM card location, they will be not
overwritten.

HI 504901 date and time:

Date and time present in the HI504901 device can be read.
These fields can not be modified manually. To align the
HI504901 to the PC date and time, simply click on “Update
HI504901 Date and Time” check-box: the new values will be
displayed on the PC and the updating will take place when the
“Update All” button is pressed.

SIM Card options:

• On “Remaining SMSs” field it is possible to set the number

of remaining messages in the SIM card: this number gives
indication about the charge level of the SIM card. To know
the value to be inserted, divide the SIM card credit by the
cost of one SMS. This number will be decreased at every
sent message and when zero level is approaching, one or
more messages will be sent by the HI504901 device to
warn the user about the need of SIM card recharging.

Note

It is useful to enable this feature in case of a rechargeable
SIM card, and disable it if an unlimited credit card is used.
If the feature is enabled, it is necessary to insert a value to
proceed with the configuration.

• On “Expiration Date” field it is possible to set the SIM card

expiration date (dd/mm/yy): this is the date after which the
SIM card expires if not recharged (usually after one year).
