User Code. After this time expires, TeleCommand disconnects.

system 4-digit user code and then make the same key entries

If Your Home Telephone System Does Not Subscribe To Multi-Frequency
Service: Access to TeleCommand and your security system can only be
provided if the telephone is multi-frequency capable (i.e. the telephone is
equipped with TONE/PULSE switch). To use TeleCommand, set the
TONE/PULSE switch on your telephone to TONE and then return it to PULSE
when the TeleCommand session is completed.
