1 Configuration
The EM-181 can be configured using an SD Card, loaded with any setting you wish to program into a
text file format. See System Setup via SD Card.
Alternatively, you can program any setting by dialling in remotely and entering programming
sequences using a touch tone telephone or mobile handset.
NOTE: After successfully entering a programming sequence an audible message "Sequence Accepted"
will be played. If this message is not played back, this is an indication that the sequence was entered
incorrectly and has not been registered into memory.
Whilst entering a programming sequence the unit will allow 3 seconds between each key press and
the next. If this time lapses the sequence is reset and you will need to commence the sequence from
the beginning.

2. The unit is now in Security Auto-Answer mode for 20 seconds.
3. Dial into the unit during this period and it will auto-answer an incoming call.
4. You are now ready to program the unit.
NOTE: If a call to the unit is not made within the 20 second window, it will return to normal mode, and
the process will need to be repeated.
After connecting to the unit, enabling the auto-answer feature can be achieved, refer to Advanced
System Settings for further details.
