PAGE 10 GETTING STARTED
The B1290 is prompting you for a third telephone number to dial if it cannot get an acknowledgement from the first
two. Continue entering telephone numbers up to a maximum of twenty. If you are not using twenty numbers, enter
the Quit code (
) at the prompt. If you hit the Enter code ( ) for an empty telephone number, the B1290
assumes that you have no more telephone numbers to enter and will jump to the next function.
YOU: Next
or
YOU: Quit
Acknowledge Code
B1290: "Program Acknowledge Code.”
B1290: "Acknowledge Code is 1234.”
The B1290 is prompting you to enter an acknowledge code. This is the code you send to the B1290 when it calls
you to announce an alarm, to acknowledge that you have received the message, otherwise the unit will keep on
dialing. 1234 is the default code. You may use this code or enter a different one from 1 to 8 digits in length. It
should be something easy to remember.
YOU:
B1290: "Acknowledge Code is 2468.”
YOU: Next
B1290: "Enter Program Code"
The B1290 is prompting you to enter a Program Code if you need to program more advanced functions into the unit.
If you require them, proceed to the chapter where Program Codes are explained in detail. Otherwise, hang up the
programming phone.
At this point the B1290 will function as an alarm reporting unit over the telephone, dialing through the numbers you
have programmed into Directory A until it is answered, then announcing the voice messages you have recorded to
report an alarm.
These parameters will be stored indefinitely and you will not be prompted to enter them again.
The next time you lift the programming phone off hook, the B1290 will announce its status and prompt you to Enter
Control Code . DO NOT enter any codes from the telephone. WAIT five seconds; the B1290 will time out and
automatically enter the programming mode. When you hear the prompt Program Access; Enter Program Code, you
may begin programming.
Do not remove power from the B1290 while you are programming. Always put the telephone handset back on-
hook before removing power.
