• If you armed the system for instant
alert, you must disarm the system
from a phone you can reach with-
out setting off the alarm.
• If the entry delay has elapsed, you
must wait for the system to contact
ORCA Monitoring Services and
begin sounding the siren before
you can disarm the system.
REMOTE ARM/DISARM
You can arm and disarm your system
by calling your home. If you have an an-
swering machine, wait for the answer-
ing machine to answer, then enter the
arm or disarm code (1-800-YOUR PIN
+ A (2) to arm with an entry delay, I (4)
to arm for instant alert, or D (3) to dis-
arm). The system sounds one tone to
verify arming, two tones to verify dis-
arming, or three tones if there is a prob-
lem.
If you do not have an answering ma-
chine, ORCA Monitoring Services can
have your system answer the phone af-
ter a specified number (the preferred
setting is 8 rings). Enter the arm or dis-
arm sequence when ringing stops.
Notes: Remote arming and disarming
does not work if you have voice mail,
call forwarding, another telephone ser-
vice that routes unanswered calls to an-
other number, or an answering machine
that holds the line for more than 60 sec-
onds after you hang up, and might not
work with all remote-controlled answer-
ing machines.
ALARM CONDITIONS
When the system detects a violation, it
calls ORCA Monitoring Services then
starts a 5-minute alert siren. ORCA
Monitoring Services first calls your
home to try to confirm the alarm. If no
one answers, or if the person who an-
swers does not know your password,
ORCA Monitoring Services notifies the
police and also tries to contact at least
one person you listed on your monitor-
ing service agreement.
After 5 minutes, the system stops
sounding the siren and rearms. The
next time you disarm the system, it
sounds three tones to let you know that
the system was violated.
Note: If your system has repeated false
alarms, ORCA Monitoring Services
might temporarily disarm your system
until the problem is resolved.
CLEARING THE SERVICE
INDICATOR
After you start service with ORCA Mon-
itoring Services, the yellow indicator
flashes when ORCA Monitoring Servic-
es needs to contact you. If the SER-
VICE indicator flashes, call 1-800-FOR-
ORCA to find out how to clear the indi-
cator. The system still functions as a
stand alone alarm when the indicator is
flashing, but it does not call ORCA Mon-
itoring Services during an alert.
