2.6 Run Mode and Standby Mode
Pressing the RUN/STANDBY key on the Model 1108 keypad will
alternately activate or deactivate the unit. If the unit is activated
and in RUN mode, the red LED (small red light on the upper right
of the unit's front panel) glows steadily. In STANDBY mode, the
red LED goes out, but will blink every few seconds to indicate
that power is still supplied to the unit.
In RUN mode, the Model 1108 is able to receive incoming calls
and to automatically dial out in the event of an alarm on one of
the monitored conditions. To enter STANDBY mode, press
RUN/STANDBY.
As soon as the Model 1108 enters STANDBY mode, it responds
with“Have a good day.”The red light immediately goes out and
then resumes with a blink every few seconds. While in
STANDBY mode, all functions are disabled, but programmed
memory is preserved. Upon exiting STANDBY mode, any
currently existing alert conditions will be announced.
NOTE
STANDBY mode is not equivalent to“power off”—
an electrical source, such as the 120 VAC, or the bat-
tery backup, continues to provide full power to the
unit. If the unit is placed in STANDBY mode,
unplugged from the 120 VAC outlet, and placed in
storage, the batteries will continue to power the
Model 1108, discharging until they fail.
Consequently, batteries should always be removed
from the unit following disconnection from any 120
VAC outlet, prior to storage.
Press the RUN/STANDBY key again to return to RUN mode.

that accept pulse or tone dialing. The Model 1108 cannot be used
on an extension line to dial its own telephone number. Also, it
may not be installed on a party line or pay telephone line.
