Send a pre-recorded speech message to specified phone numbers, as
described next.
Speech messages
Note:
This facility requires the control unit to have an appropriate
communications module fitted.
As well as making an audible signal, the installer can configure the control
unit to send a pre-recorded voice message to specified phone numbers
when an alarm occurs. These messages can go to people nominated to
monitor alarm calls.
If the control unit has Call Acknowledge enabled (ask the installer), a
person receiving a speech message can control the link by pressing
buttons on their telephone keypad. The commands available are as shown
in Table 2.

Note:
When a recipient answers a speech message, there is a six-second
delay before the control unit starts the message.
Silencing, acknowledging and resetting alarms
If there is an alarm, you will need to silence the sirens and sounders (if they
are still running), acknowledge the cause of the alarm and reset the
system.
Note:
By default, sirens run for a maximum of 15 minutes. If this period has
expired, the system may be silent, but you will still need to
acknowledge and reset the alarm.
See "Viewing alerts" on page 24 if the keypad is beeping
approximately once per second.
