Example: The Model 1108 calls you with an alarm message. You
answer the call with a rotary or pulse telephone, and do the
following:
•Listen to the message and hang up.
•Then call the Model 1108 back on any telephone. You must
wait for 10 rings: This signals the Model 1108 to answer
your telephone call. (Make sure to call back within the
programmed setting for Intercall Time—refer to Chapter 4,
Section 4.11.)
When the Model 1108 answers your return call, it gives a Status
Report (refer to Section 6.2). Then it says:“Warning message
received by ...”and recites the telephone number last dialed. This
indicates that the alarm has been acknowledged.
NOTE
If you have the TAD feature ( telephone answering
device) enabled, the Model 1108 will answer the tele-
phone on the first ring. If it is disabled, the telephone
must be allowed to ring 10 times. This serves as a
precaution against a random alarm acknowledgment.
Refer to Chapter 4, Section 4.6, for complete infor-
mation on using the TAD feature.
6.2 Status Report
The Status Report allows access to complete information on all
monitored conditions either locally, from the keypad, or by
telephone, from any location. The Model 1108 will answer an
incoming telephone call following the programmed Rings Until
Answer (refer to Chapter 4, Section 4.5). Included with the Status
Report are messages related to alarm conditions, AC power,
battery backup and sound level. It also provides an opportunity
for listening to on-site sounds (refer to Listen-in Time, Chapter 4,
Section 4.7).
To initiate the Status Report:
1. Press WHAT IS.
2. Press STATUS.
