Selecting language
# E 2 y
y = language of your choice: 1 = Finnish, 2 = English, 3 = Norwegian, 4 = Swedish
,
Switching from one language to another clears the entire phone directory and the name of
the house (see 2.4). Always choose your language first, and then insert phone numbers in the
unit’s internal phone directory.
2.4 Naming the House
HouseControl includes the name of the monitored house (your home) at the beginning of all alarm and
scheduled messages. The name can be up to 20 characters long.
Assigning a name to the monitored house
# A 1 0 y y y
yyy = name
Removing the name
# A 1 0
If you decide to combine several commands in one single text message, and want to remove the
assigned name, you have to place command #A10 last in the message because otherwise the name will
be changed to whatever comes after #A10.
2.5 Phone Directory
HouseControl requires that its internal phone directory contains at least one phone number in order to
function properly. The phone directory is needed in sending alarm messages to the correct phone
numbers, but also in recognizing the users who are trying to access the unit. There is room for 20 phone
numbers in the directory.
) The directory memory cell 0 is reserved for the GSM operator’s SMS Service number (see
2.5.4) if the SIM card does not contain the number.
Any phone number that is used for sending commands and receiving alarm messages must be inserted
in the unit’s internal phone directory. The unit sends alarm messages to the phone numbers kept in the
directory memory cells 1 through 5. Some alarm messages or notifications are only sent to the phone
number in directory memory cell one (see Table 1). You should place your own phone number in that
memory location. Your HouseControl can be used normally from the phone numbers in memory cells 6
through 20; however, no alarm messages are sent to these numbers.
2.5.1 Adding a Phone Number
When you want to modify the unit’s settings from your own mobile phone, you must make sure that your
mobile phone number is stored in the HouseControl’s internal phone directory. If the number does not
exist in the directory, the unit must be switched to programming mode (see 2.1) so that you can add your
own phone number.
