FA-700 does not answer
when I call

event in progress.

with the FA-700? (see procedure for “In phone line
answering machine/voice mail”)

I cannot cancel the alarm call
out; the FA-700 continues
calling out

has been canceled?
• Are you pressing the correct cancel alarm keys during
the alarm event: number “1” key and then the pound
“#” key within one minute?

3°F of the actual temperature. If your FA-700 is too close
to a window during the winter months (below 45°C) or
positioned in direct sun light (above 85°C) this could
cause the FA-700 to false alarm.
• Check the FA-700 to see if the batteries installed, No
batteries installed could cause the FA-700 to issue a
false alarm.
