Communicating by Phone
(Voice-Guided VDMP3)
You can communicate with your security system by phone by using a system accessory called the VDMP3 Voice Dialer (sold separately). The VDMP3 is a module that
can be programmed to call one or more telephone numbers in the event of an alarm. For example, when an alarm occurs at your store during off-hours, every
employee can receive notification via telephone: (sample message) “Area 1 in alarm. Zone 3. Press 1 to disarm the system...”
You can also call the VDMP3 from an outside line, enabling you to arm or disarm the system as well as activate PGMs. The VDMP3 essentially turns any outside
telephone into a keypad. For example, you unexpectedly have to extend a business trip, and for security reasons, would like to turn on your office’s lighting. Simply
use your phone to toggle the lights on and off. Consult your installer for more information.
VDMP3 Instructions
How do I call the VDMP3?
1.
From an outside line, dial the telephone number to which the VDMP3 is associated.
NOTE
: If the telephone number that is associated with the VDMP3 has an answering machine, hang up the telephone when the line rings, and dial the
telephone number again within the time limit set by your installer.
2.
When the VDMP3 answers the line, you are prompted to enter your user code.
3.
System status is given, as well as options to arm/disarm (1) and control features (PGMs) (2).
NOTE:
If you hang up while in communication with the VDMP3, you must wait 2 minutes before connecting again. To avoid having to wait, press “#” to
disconnect from the VDMP3 before hanging up.
Refer to the following page for a diagram that details how to use the VDMP3.
