3 Basic System Operation
CommPact Installation Manual

For this feature to function, Trouble Tones must be enabled in programming – see p. 51,
8.6.1 System Trouble Tones.
System trouble tones are not sounded from 10:00pm to 7:00am so as not to disturb household
members who may be asleep. However, you can program the system to immediately annunciate
telephone trouble at all times – see p. 51
8.6.2 Telephone Trouble Tones.
3.5.2. Vocal Message Annunciation
Certain versions of the CommPact Control System hardware support vocal annunciation of system
status. If this feature is enabled in programming (see p. 59,
9.10 Vocal Messages), the system plays
short messages to indicate setting, unsetting, omitted zones, system trouble, message waiting, and
water alarm.
The availability of the Vocal Message annunciation feature is hardware dependent.
