HSM2955 1.0 User Guide
The HSM2955 Audio Verification Module enables
you to listen and talk through your alarm panel
from any touch-tone phone.
Call-in Options
The HSM2955 must be set up by your installer to
use one of the following access methods:
Number of rings : The HSM2955 answers an
incoming call after a programmed number of
rings.
Double- call : The HSM2955 answers only after
receiving two calls within a programmed time.
This method is used if you have an answering
machine or a fax on your telephone line.
Calling In
1. Call the HSM2955 from an external touch- tone
phone.
2. If using the double- call method, let the phone
ring several times, hang up and then call again.
3. When the HSM2955 answers, you will hear
beeps to indicate initial access.
4. Enter your 4- or 6- digit user code (default:
1234/123456). After a valid code is accepted,
you will hear a distinctive set of tones that lets
you know your session is active.
To change your user access code, please refer to
your alarm system user manual.
5. Upon session start, the HSM2955 automatically
enters listen- only mode. The session lasts 2
minutes but may be extended. See the chart
