System Toolbox
Telephone Test
Your security system may be connected to your telephone line. The system can communicate
with the Central Monitoring Station over your telephone line. Your system can send its alarm
messages and system trouble or status messages using the land-based telephone system. 2-way
audio communications with the Central Monitoring Station can also occur through the telephone
connection.
The system toolbox contains provisions for testing the telephone connection.
★ IMPORTANT: TEST YOUR SECURITY SYSTEM WEEKLY TO ASSURE CONTINUED
PROTECTION AND PROPER SYSTEM OPERATION.
To test the telephone connection, use the
following steps:
1. On the Home Screen, press SECURITY.
2. On the Security Screen, press MENU.
3. On the Menu Screen, press TOOLBOX.
4. Enter the Master User Code
to access the toolbox.
5. Use the ← and → arrows to
select Toolbox Screen (3 of 3).
6. On the Toolbox Screen (3 of 3),
press TELEPHONE TEST.
7. Enter the Master User Code
again to begin the test.
The system will display the test status screen.
The top part of the screen shows each function
that is being tested. Use the ↑ and ↓ arrows to
scroll through the status messages. The bottom
part of the screen shows the results of each
test.
If any tests fail, note what messages were
displayed, and contact your alarm installer. Your
installer will be able to diagnose any possible
issues with your system.
After the testing is complete, press OK to return
to the Toolbox.
