    Why am I receiving a false alarm from my Emerson Security System FA-700?

      If your Emerson Security System FA-700 is positioned too close to a window during the winter months (below 45°C) or in direct sunlight (above 85°C), this could cause it to trigger a false alarm. Also, a false alarm may occur if no batteries are installed. Check the FA-700 to ensure batteries are installed.

      If the Emerson Security System FA-700 does not call out during a test, first ensure that the FA-700 has power and that the phone service is working properly (you should hear a dial tone). Then, check that the RJ-11 phone cord is fully plugged into both the phone jack of the FA-700 and the wall jack. Re-enter the phone number, verifying the area code and whether the number “1” is required for long-distance calling. If you're using a phone calling card, ensure the calling sequence includes any necessary pauses to complete the call.

      If you cannot cancel the alarm call out and the Emerson Security System FA-700 continues calling, verify that you hear an alarm message indicating that the call out has been canceled. Also, ensure that you are pressing the correct cancel alarm keys—the number “1” key followed by the pound “#” key—within one minute of the alarm event.

      The Emerson Security System FA-700 will not answer if there is no active alarm event in progress. Verify that phone service is active at the FA-700 location. Check if there is an answering machine or voice mail in line with the FA-700.

      If the power LED on your Emerson Security System FA-700 is not lit, first, check that the barrel connector end of the AC adapter is plugged into the power jack on the FA-700, and that the other end of the adapter is plugged into a ‘live’ AC power source. Also, verify that the AC power wall outlet is active.
