In RUN mode, the Model 400 is able to receive incoming calls and to dial
out automatically in the event of an alarm on one of the monitored condi-
tions. To enter STANDBY mode, press RUN/STANDBY.
As soon as the Model 400 enters STANDBY mode, it responds with
“Goodbye.” The system on light immediately goes out and then resumes
with a blink every few seconds. While in STANDBY mode, all functions are
disabled, but programmed memory is preserved. Upon exiting STANDBY
mode, any currently existing alarms will be announced.
NOTE: STANDBY mode is not equivalent to “power off”—an electrical
source, such as the 120 VAC, or the battery backup, continues to
provide full power to the unit. If the unit is placed in STANDBY
mode, unplugged from the 120 VAC outlet, and placed in storage, the
batteries will continue to power the Model 400, discharging until they
fail. Consequently, batteries should always be removed from the unit
following disconnection from any 120 VAC outlet, prior to storage.
Press the RUN/STANDBY key again to return to RUN mode.

The Model 400 will operate with all standard analog telephone lines that
accept pulse or tone dialing. The Model 400 cannot be used on an exten-
sion line to dial its own telephone number. Also, it may not be installed on
a party line, pay telephone line, or digital telephone system.
Certain private telephone systems and public switching equipment may not
accept the Model 400 dialing or may generate an unacceptable ring signal.
In those cases, a dedicated line may be required. Consult the supplier of
your telephone system if you encounter problems.
If you do not have a modular telephone extension at the Model 400’s loca-
tion, you must contact your local telephone company to have one installed
(there is a charge for this service). If you have four-pin jacks, adapters are
available to convert them to the modular plugs. Contact your local tele-
phone company or electronics parts store.
CAUTION: Never install telephone wiring during a lightning
storm. Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack
is specifically designed for wet locations. Never touch uninsulated
telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been
disconnected at the network interface. Use caution when installing or
modifying telephone lines.
