Home Automation,

it was authorized, you should change your access and master codes to stop whoever made the calls.

There are a number of SET-UP items that control what you can do from a remote phone when you or anyone else calls into your home. If you do not want to have the Model 1503 answer outside calls ever, you can set ANSWER OUTSIDE CALLS to NO. If you do not want to allow a remote caller to be able to control anything, but still get the status of the system, you can set REMOTE COMMANDS OK to NO. You may also change the number of rings before the Model 1503 answers by changing RINGS BEFORE ANSWER. None of these set-up items affect the operation of the Model 1503 over the in-house phones.

PHONE ACCESS DENIED - REMOTE LOCKOUT

The Model 1503 has a remote lockout feature to discourage youngsters (and adults who act that way) from trying to access your system. If four invalid codes are entered, the system will hang up and a one hour lockout period will begin. During the lockout period, the Model 1503 will not answer a call after any number of rings, which should discourage the caller.

If a lockout occurs, the event PHONE ACCESS DENIED is entered into the event log, along with the time and date of its occurrence.

The one-hour lockout does not apply to in-house phones. The lock- out is cleared immediately if the Model 1503 is accessed using an in- house phone.

ANSWERING MACHINES

If you have an answering ma- chine, set it as you normally do. Most machines answer after 2 to 4 rings. The Model 1503 should be set to answer after 8 rings. (8 rings is the factory setting for the Model 1503.)

When you call your home, the answering machine will answer as it normally does. Cover the mouthpiece of the phone so that the answering machine doesn’t hear anything. Most machines will hang up in about 10 seconds after playing your outgoing message.

If you have a machine with re- mote message capability, it will usually hang up after you check your messages.

About 1 second after the answer- ing machine hangs up, the Model 1503 will pick up the line and make its ‘Beep’. Enter your access or master code within 3 seconds of the Model 1503 beep.

Most answering machines beep when they hang up. Some beep when they stop recording, then stay on the line while they reset their tapes, then hang up. The Model 1503 answers AFTER the answering hangs up. Do not confuse the answering machine beep with the Model 1503 beep, which has a distinctive sound (more like a ‘meep’).
