ALARM ACKNOWLEDGMENT CODES
When the 1800 detects an alarm, it starts dialing each telephone
number until it receives acknowledgment. An alarm can be
acknowledged either by pressing the ALARM CANCEL button on
the keypad and entering an Acknowledgment Code, or by entering
the Acknowledgment Code over the telephone using touch tones.
An Acknowledgment Code is made up of five digits: the user’s
entry number (1–8) plus a four-digit code. Up to eight different
Acknowledgment Codes may be programmed into the unit to
identify individual users in the Alarm History Log. When the unit
makes a telephone call in Voice mode it will prompt the user to
enter an Acknowledgment Code. If this is entered correctly, the
1800 will say “Alarm Acknowledged.” When an alarm message is
sent to a pager, the person who receives the page will have to call
the unit back to acknowledge the alarm. When acknowledging an
alarm, the user must first press their entry number (1–8), and then
their programmed 4-digit Acknowledgment Code. Acknowledgment
Code 1 defaults to 1234, so to acknowledge an alarm the user would
have to enter 11234. All other Codes (2–8) are not programmed by
default.
To Program an Acknowledgment Code:
1. Press SET.
2. Press CODE.
3. Press a telephone number entry (1–8).
