Enter the telephone number exactly as you would if
you were to dial that location on the telephone. In
other words, enter a “1” and the area code if required.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT program phone numbers of
emergency fire, police or ambulance services into
GenAlert.
Release the pound key (E) after entering all the
digits of the phone number.
Star Key Function
To enter a five second pause in the phone number,
press the star key (C) twice when entering the phone
number in 2 above.
A pause counts as two digits of the total phone
number. For every two star keys entered, there will be
a five second pause.
If three star keys are entered in succession, the first
two will be noted as the 5 second pause and the third
star key will be the actual star key (C) played as part
of the phone number.
If four star keys (C) are entered, GenAlert would
pause the dialing sequence for 10 seconds.
To change the phone number, simply repeat the
process with a new phone number. The old number
will be overwritten.

Important Tips
Long Distance: Make sure you enter the phone
number exactly like you would if you were to pick
up the phone and call that number. Use a “1” and
the proper area code if required.
Area Codes: Don’t forget to change your phone
number if the telephone area code changes. Your
GenAlert will continue to call to the stored phone
number, even if incorrect. You may incur long
distance charges if you do not change area codes
appropriately.
Dialing “9”: Some phone systems require that
you dial a “9” before the rest of the phone
number in order to get an outside line. Simply
include the “9” at the beginning of the phone
number. You may need to add a pause after the
“9” so GenAlert can wait for a dial tone.
Test Your GenAlert: It is important that you test
your phone number as indicated in Testing Your
GenAlert in Maintenance .
