the OUTSIDE SIREN DELAY before the
outside siren starts, then you have
the DIAL OUT DELAY before the sys-
tem disconnects the house phones
and dials out. Therefore, you have
OUTSIDE SIREN DELAY plus DIAL OUT
DELAY to turn off your alarm using
an in-house phone once you hear the
interior sounder, indicating that
an alarm has occurred. Once the
Model 1503 has begun to dial out,
you must use the console to turn
off the alarm.
REMOTE PHONES
You may call your system from
any Touch Tone phone and “talk” to
your Model 1503, exactly as if you
were at home, except that you must
enter your access or master codes
to gain access to the Model 1503.
To call your system from any touch tone
phone, call your number. After 8 rings
(or whatever you have set RINGS BEFORE
ANSWER to - see SET-UP DIAL) your
Model 1503 will answer and ‘beep’.
Press the digits of your access or
master code on the phone. The first
digit must be pressed within 3 seconds
of the beep. You will hear the menu.
If you hear three beeps after
entering the code, you have entered
the wrong code. Try again. If you
make a mistake while entering the
code, press the # key and then
enter the code again. You have
three tries to enter a valid code.
A successful remote access is
logged in the event log as a REMOTE
PHONE ACCESS, along with the time
and date of its occurrence. If you
see that a remote phone access
occurred and you don’t believe that

your phone when the Model 1503
picks up or hangs up. This is nor-

To access your Model 1503 from an in-
house phone: Pick up the receiver of
any Touch Tone phone in your house.
Pause for just a moment - about a
second - then press the # key on the
phone.
You will hear the Model 1503’s
voice read the menu, which tells
you what commands are available
over the telephone.
NOTE: if your system is in HIGH
SECURITY mode, you must also enter
your ACCESS or MASTER code follow-
ing the # key. See HIGH SECURITY
MODE. In UL Listed Installations,
HIGH SECURITY MODE is enabled.
If you wish to disable the Model
1503 telephone access feature, you
can change SET-UP item TELEPHONE
ACCESS to OFF. The Model 1503 will
not listen in for the # key on in-
house phones, and will not answer
remote calls, ever. See SET-UP
DIAL for more information.
If the alarm system is tripped,
the in-house phones will be discon-
nected when the Model 1503 begins
to dial out, to preclude a burglar
from jamming the line by shorting
out an in- house phone. In this
case, you will have to turn the
system off at the console.
When using your in-house phone
to disarm your system, you have the
ENTRY DELAY time (usually 30 sec-
onds - see SET-UP MISC) to turn
off the alarm before it sounds.
After the alarm sounds, you have
