What the Omni IIe Voice Dialer Does

When an alarm is activated, the Omni IIe will wait the Dial Out Delay. If your system is monitored by a central station, it will be notified first. Then the voice dialer will dial out to the numbers as described above.

If the alarm is turned off at the console while a voice dial-out is in progress, the dial-out will be canceled immediately and the voice dialer will hang up. If the number dialed is busy, or if all lines are busy, the dialer will immediately hang up and go to the next number in the Dial Order. The dialer will wait up to 45 seconds after it finishes dialing a complete phone number for a voice to answer. If it doesn't hear a voice in that time, it goes on to the next number. The voice dialer will respond to answering machines.

After it has dialed the last number in the dial order, the Omni IIe stops dialing and reconnects the in-house phones.

What You Hear - If Your Omni IIe Calls You

When you pick up the phone and say something, the Omni IIe will say one of the following, depending on type of alarm:

-BURGLAR ALARM

-FIRE ALARM

-AUXILIARY ALARM

-TEMPERATURE ALARM

-WATER ALARM

-GAS ALARM

-SILENT ALARM

AND

-ADDRESS: (Your address here)

-PHONE NUMBER (your phone number here)

The Omni IIe will repeat this message twice.

Entering the Code

At any time during the message you can enter the Master or Manager code, simply by pressing the digits on the keypad of a Touch-Tone phone. The Omni IIe will stop talking when it hears any digit from a touch tone phone. (When it is saying the address, the Omni IIe completes the entire address before it stops talking.)

If you enter the correct Master or Manager code, you will then be logged in (a remote phone access is logged in the event log) and further dial outs are canceled.

You will hear the status of the system, which will describe the type of alarm and the zones tripped, for example:

BURGLAR ALARM ACTIVATED: ZONE 1 - ENTRY EXIT - TRIPPED; ZONE 3 - DAY INTERIOR - TRIPPED:

Then the Omni IIe will read the Main Menu as described in Telephone Control. You can press 0 to hear the menu. At this point, you are in control, just as if you had called your system.

A strategy to follow if you are called by your system is to check the Status (6 on the telephone) to see what mode the system is in, and which zones were tripped. Press * to cancel out of the status mode. You may wish to check the Event Log (7) to see when each event happened. Then, press * to exit the event log.

Now press 9 (good-bye) to make the Omni IIe hang up. Hang up your phone and call your premises to be sure that it wasn't someone who has forgotten their code. If not, call the police.

If someone properly disarms the system while the called party is logged in, then the status message will go back to "SECURITY MODE IS OFF - SYSTEM OK" as described in Telephone Control.

If a reportable event (an alarm, cancel, etc.) occurs while you are talking to your Omni IIe, it will hang up on you to communicate the event to the central station.
