If you armed the system for instant alert, you must disarm the system from a phone you can reach with- out setting off the alarm.

If the entry delay has elapsed, you must wait for the system to contact ORCA Monitoring Services and begin sounding the siren before you can disarm the system.

REMOTE ARM/DISARM

You can arm and disarm your system by calling your home. If you have an an- swering machine, wait for the answer- ing machine to answer, then enter the arm or disarm code (1-800-YOUR PIN

+A (2) to arm with an entry delay, I (4) to arm for instant alert, or D (3) to dis- arm). The system sounds one tone to verify arming, two tones to verify dis- arming, or three tones if there is a prob- lem.

If you do not have an answering ma- chine, ORCA Monitoring Services can have your system answer the phone af- ter a specified number (the preferred setting is 8 rings). Enter the arm or dis- arm sequence when ringing stops.

Notes: Remote arming and disarming does not work if you have voice mail, call forwarding, another telephone ser- vice that routes unanswered calls to an- other number, or an answering machine that holds the line for more than 60 sec- onds after you hang up, and might not work with all remote-controlled answer- ing machines.

ALARM CONDITIONS

When the system detects a violation, it calls ORCA Monitoring Services then starts a 5-minute alert siren. ORCA Monitoring Services first calls your home to try to confirm the alarm. If no one answers, or if the person who an- swers does not know your password, ORCA Monitoring Services notifies the police and also tries to contact at least one person you listed on your monitor- ing service agreement.

After 5 minutes, the system stops sounding the siren and rearms. The next time you disarm the system, it sounds three tones to let you know that the system was violated.

Note: If your system has repeated false alarms, ORCA Monitoring Services might temporarily disarm your system until the problem is resolved.

CLEARING THE SERVICE INDICATOR

After you start service with ORCA Mon- itoring Services, the yellow indicator flashes when ORCA Monitoring Servic- es needs to contact you. If the SER- VICE indicator flashes, call 1-800-FOR- ORCA to find out how to clear the indi- cator. The system still functions as a stand alone alarm when the indicator is flashing, but it does not call ORCA Mon- itoring Services during an alert.
