 Model PSM585 

Your system for public
warning, community news and
information, featuring
VoiceAnnounce® Caller ID 
and Call Waiting ID. 

Introduction 

ClassCo Model PSM585 uses the latest notification technology to keep you 
advised of public safety notices, weather advisories, community news, and 
information that may affect or be of interest to you and your family.  The PSM585 
installs easily by connecting it to your telephone line.  It uses an AC adapter for 
power, and batteries for backup and emergency use if the power goes out.  In 
addition, the Model PSM585 is compatible with caller ID and call waiting ID 
services available through your local telephone company.  If you have these 
services, the PSM585 will display and 

announce

 incoming calls and call waiting 

calls.  The VoiceAnnounce® caller ID feature saves you the trouble of running to 
the phone, and announces when the call is unknown or blocked.  You can 
program the unit to associate frequent callers with audible categories (like 
“friends” or “family”).  The category can be announced instead of the telephone 
number to help identify important calls.  If you don’t have these services, you can 
contact your local telephone company to have them activated. 

During emergencies, the PSM585 will sound an alarm and announce the nature 
of the emergency

.  You can stop the alarm sound by pressing any button on 

the unit.

  The PSM585 stores all messages in memory for later review. 

Please read this manual for proper installation instructions and to find out about 
all the valuable features the PSM585 offers.
