How this works
•
During setup, you can manually set the FA-700 to answer on a specified number of
incoming rings “5” or “10”
(DIP switch 2, ring count)
.
•
Set your answering machine or voice mail to answer in fewer rings than the FA-700.
(For
example, if the FA-700 is set to answer on 5 rings, set the other device to answer in “4” or
fewer rings.)
Therefore, when a call comes into the location of the FA-700, the answering
machine/voice mail will respond first because it is set to answer in fewer rings than the
FA-700.
Calling the FA-700 during an alarm event
The following example shows how to call the FA-700 during an alarm event:
Criteria
•
FA-700 ring count is set to “5” rings to answer
(factory default DIP switch setting).
•
Answering machine/voice mail is set to “4” rings to answer.
•
You must make the appropriate number of phone calls to the location where the FA-700 is
within “3” minutes or the timer in the FA-700 will reset to “0.”
To get the FA-700 to respond given the above example criteria, do the following:
Step
Action
1.
Call the phone number of the location where the FA-700 is located, and let the
phone ring “3” times and then hang up. The internal 3-minute timer starts and the
FA-700 counts and remembers the number of rings.
2.
On your second call within “3” minutes, let the phone ring until the FA-700
answers. The FA-700 will answer first because it remembered the first “3” rings,
and then it added the rings from the second call until the total reached “5,” then it
answered before the answering machine/voice mail device
(“4” rings to answer).
3.
Listen to the alarm message.
Note
: If the FA-700 is set to answer in 10 rings
(the second choice on DIP SW2)
, you may
need to place more calls within “3” minutes to get the FA-700 to eventually answer.
