Telecontrol
The
iConnect
Control
System
offers
a
range
of
Telecontrol
features
that
provide
remote
access
via
the
telephone.
These
features
include
Two
‐
Way
Audio,
remote
arming/disarming
and
siren
cancel.
Two-Way Audio
You
may
use
the
Two
‐
Way
Audio
features
to
check
your
home
in
the
event
of
an
alarm
or
as
an
alternative
means
of
communicating
with
members
of
your
family.
For
example,
you
may
wish
to
call
an
elderly
person
who
has
difficulty
reaching
the
phone.
Using
its
Two
‐
Way
Audio
features,
the
Control
System
automatically
picks
up
the
call
and
you
can
communicate
via
its
built
‐
in
microphone
and
speaker.

Calling your Home
You
may
call
your
home
at
any
time
in
order
to
contact
your
family,
operate
your
system
or
check
your
home
while
you
are
away.
This
feature
is
available
for
both
regular
telephone
communication
and
cellular
communication.
Making a Call using a Regular Telephone
When
your
security
system
shares
a
telephone
line
with
other
devices
(e.g.
telephone
handsets,
an
answering
machine
or
fax),
it
is
important
that
the
Control
System
distinguish
between
calls
so
that
it
knows
when
to
pick
up
the
relevant
call.
For
this
purpose
the
iConnect
employs
a
double
call
method.
To
make
a
call
to
the
Control
System
using
the
double
call
method:
1.
Dial
your
telephone
number.
2.
Wait
for
two
or
three
rings
then
hang
‐
up.
3.
Wait
at
least
five
seconds
and
dial
the
number
again;
on
the
second
ring,
the
Control
System
picks
up
and
sounds
two
tones.
Making a Call to the Cellular Communications Module
If
your
system
supports
cellular
communication,
the
Cellular
Communications
Module
has
its
own
individual
telephone
number.
Therefore,
the
double
call
method
is
not
necessary
and
you
may
call
the
Control
System
directly.
Call Procedure
To
prevent
unauthorized
attempts
to
call
your
Control
System,
you
must
enter
a
user
code
when
calling
your
home
–
see
p.
32,

your
home:

the
Control
System
either
using
the

or

(

);

the
Control

picks
up,
two
tones
are
sounded.
