Creating pauses
You can add pauses to your telephone number as you enter it into the WA-700 by pressing
the STAR (*) key two times, which represents a 2-second pause. If you need to enter a 6-
second pause, press the STAR (*) key six times.
Note:
Always press the STAR (*) key twice
(in multiples of 2)
to create an effective pause;
otherwise, a single press of the STAR key will be literally translated as part of the
dialed phone number.
Calling a long distance phone number
Long distance calling: make sure you enter the phone number exactly as you would when
dialing a long distance call yourself
(“1” and area code if needed)
. If dialing internationally,
make sure you have the correct country codes and follow proper international dialing rules.
Check with your phone company for assistance to determine the correct number.
Programming
(entering a phone number)
You can program one phone number into the WA-700 (60 digits) , which it uses to
communicate alarm messages.
Before you enter a phone number
DO NOT enter phone numbers of emergency services
(fire, police or ambulance)
into the
WA-700.
DO NOT forget the area code and then enter the phone number exactly as you would when
making a personal phone call.
Long distance dialing: enter ―1,‖ the area code if required, and then the phone number.
It is critical that you run a system test to validate the call-to numbers. For proper testing, it is
recommended that a person at the call-to location confirms receiving the call.
Note:
You cannot enter the call-to phone number when the WA-700 is running only on
battery power.
Entering a phone number
Note:
The phone number is stored in non-volatile memory
(permanently stored in the WA-
700 regardless of power failures or long-term storage).
