You will hear a slight click on your phone when the Model 1503 picks up or hangs up. This is nor- mal.

To access your Model 1503 from an in- house phone: Pick up the receiver of any Touch Tone phone in your house.

Pause for just a moment - about a second - then press the # key on the phone.

You will hear the Model 1503’s voice read the menu, which tells you what commands are available over the telephone.

NOTE: if your system is in HIGH SECURITY mode, you must also enter your ACCESS or MASTER code follow- ing the # key. See HIGH SECURITY MODE. In UL Listed Installations, HIGH SECURITY MODE is enabled.

If you wish to disable the Model 1503 telephone access feature, you can change SET-UP item TELEPHONE ACCESS to OFF. The Model 1503 will not listen in for the # key on in- house phones, and will not answer remote calls, ever. See SET-UP DIAL for more information.

If the alarm system is tripped, the in-house phones will be discon- nected when the Model 1503 begins to dial out, to preclude a burglar from jamming the line by shorting out an in- house phone. In this case, you will have to turn the system off at the console.

When using your in-house phone to disarm your system, you have the ENTRY DELAY time (usually 30 sec- onds - see SET-UP MISC) to turn off the alarm before it sounds. After the alarm sounds, you have

the OUTSIDE SIREN DELAY before the outside siren starts, then you have the DIAL OUT DELAY before the sys- tem disconnects the house phones and dials out. Therefore, you have OUTSIDE SIREN DELAY plus DIAL OUT DELAY to turn off your alarm using an in-house phone once you hear the interior sounder, indicating that an alarm has occurred. Once the Model 1503 has begun to dial out, you must use the console to turn off the alarm.

REMOTE PHONES

You may call your system from any Touch Tone phone and “talk” to your Model 1503, exactly as if you were at home, except that you must enter your access or master codes to gain access to the Model 1503.

To call your system from any touch tone phone, call your number. After 8 rings (or whatever you have set RINGS BEFORE ANSWER to - see SET-UP DIAL) your Model 1503 will answer and ‘beep’. Press the digits of your access or master code on the phone. The first digit must be pressed within 3 seconds of the beep. You will hear the menu.

If you hear three beeps after entering the code, you have entered the wrong code. Try again. If you make a mistake while entering the code, press the # key and then enter the code again. You have three tries to enter a valid code.
