About Follow-
Me/Beeps
• This feature lets users of each partition enter a phone number that the system will call in the event of an
alarm at the protected premises, thus alerting the user to the alarm.
• The message sent consists of a series of tones (beeps).
• If an alarm occurs, the system dials the follow-me phone number once, waits a short time after dialing
(about one ring), then begins the message tones (regardless of whether the call is answered). If the call is
answered before the second ring, you should be able to hear the message tones.
• In the event it takes longer than two rings to answer the call, it is possible the tones will have been
completed and the call disconnected. To help ensure that you will hear the tones, you can set a repeat
count (1-7 repeats) that will cause the tones to be repeated that number of times, giving you a better
chance of hearing them. Note that only the tones are repeated during the single follow-me phone call; the
dialing is not repeated.
• You can also program one or more 2-second pauses after the phone number, which will delay the tones by
that amount of time. This can help give the listener time to hear the tones. E.g., Adding four pauses will
delay the tones until after the phone rings twice.
To enter a
follow-me
phone number
• User code + [#] + [6] [1]
• The current follow-me phone number (if one exists) for the user’s partition is displayed:
FM Phone No.
18009216704--_
• Press [∗] to clear the number.
• Enter the desired phone number. The number is automatically associated with the partition in which it
is entered.
To include a 2-second pause in the number, press [#] at the point in the entry the pause is desired (it
displays as “–“). Pauses entered at the end of the number will allow dialing but will delay the tones by
the amount of pause programmed.
If no number is desired, leave the entry blank and go to the next step.
• Press [∗] to save the new number.
The following prompt appears:
FM Repeat
1-7 1
• Enter the number of times, 1-7, the tones should be repeated during the follow-me phone call.
