    Why event reports fail on line 1 for SILENT KNIGHT Cell Phone?
    • D
      Danielle BeasleyAug 14, 2025
      If event, auto, or manual tests fail to report on line 1 for your SILENT KNIGHT Cell Phone, first, try dialing the programmed phone number from a premise phone to ensure it reaches the central station. If that works, verify that you are using a compatible reporting format with the receiver, as the phone line voltage may be okay, but the panel is unable to communicate on line 1.
