K
Test the alarm conditions to be sure witing and programming are correct.

Program mode is indicated by the lighted PROGRAM LED.
Note:
Before you begin programming the Verbatim for your monitoring application it
is best to first clear the unit's memory of any old programming. This step also
ensures that memory corruption, which might have occurred during shipment or
due to anomalous power distrubances, will be wiped away. See Step 2 below.

Caution:
The following step erases all user programming including recorded messages
so normally it is done only at initial start-up.
2. To clear the system memory, press:
9 35 9 ENTER
If you make an error in code entry, press CANCEL and start again.

Exceptions:
If you have powered up your Verbatim without connecting a live telephone line
to the unit you may observe that the TFAIL indicator is on. This indicates that
the unit is checking for the presence of a telephone connection and attempting
to determine the line configuration. If you are planning to program your unit
without a live telephone connection you may wish to disable the Telephone
Line Fault Detection (Phone Fault) feature by pressing
9 17 0 ENTER
See Section 6.2.6 for information on temporarily disabling this feature.
