Remote Control
Remote Control via Standard Telephone
You can control your system remotely using a standard telephone IF your system was installed with a POTS mod-
ule. Remote control is performed by calling the system and responding to spoken questions from the system. By
pressing certain telephone keys, you can do the following:
l
Arm the system
l
Disarm the system
l
Bypass sensors
l
Query system status
NOTE: At the time your system was installed, your installer needed to enable the optional remote
control by telephone feature. Otherwise you will be unable to use the remote control by telephone
feature.
Calling the System
During installation, your installer selects whether your system supports the remote telephone option or not. If this
feature is enabled, the system requires you to call twice within 30 seconds before it answers your call.
1. Call the telephone number that the Control Panel is connected to. Wait for one or two rings, then hang
up.
2. Within 10‐45 seconds, call the Control Panel again. The Control Panel answers the call.
Controlling the System Remotely
Talk to your dealer to see if your system was installed with the POTS module. Once you are connected with the
system via the telephone, you can check on system status and remotely control the major functions.
NOTE: The announcements that the system plays over the telephone do not sound out of the Con-
trol Panel’s speaker.
1. After the Control Panel answers, it s asks for your User Code. You have 15 seconds to enter your User
Code using the telephone keys. If you don’t enter a valid User Code in 15 seconds, the system dis-
connects the call. For security purposes, if 2 attempts using 2 telephone calls to enter a User Code within
a 5 minute time frame fail to enter a valid code, the system disconnects and does not respond to tele-
phone commands for 30 minutes.
2. After the system has accepted your User Code, it announces the system status, then announces the
remote command options.
