Setting Up Monitored Devices

• To enroll a smoke detector, press the test button.
4 Click the name of the device in the “Device Description” field.
5 Choose the appropriate category from “Device Category” dropdown
menu.
6 Enter a description in the “Monitored Device Description.”
• The text entered here is what will be displayed on the main screen and on
alert devices. A best practice is to describe who the device belongs to
and, if possible, where they are.
7 As desired, enter a “Spoken Device Description.”
• This is only used if the spoken device pronunciation will differ from the
text entered under the “Monitored Device Description.” For example,
because “room number 1414” would be spoken as “room number one
thousand four hundred and fourteen,” this can be written as “room
number fourteen fourteen” so that it will be pronounced correctly. Another
example might be a word with a challenging text-to-speech pronunciation
like “anesthesiology,” which should be spelled phonetically. This change
will not show up on the main screen, reports or pagers; it will only change
the pronunciation as spoken by the system.
8 As desired, enter any notes in the “Notes” field.
9 Click “Update Monitored Device” to save all changes.
The device will now be found on the monitored devices screen in the category
to which it was was added.
