Using Your Verbatim Autodialer
5.1 Placing Inquiry Calls to the Verbatim
Autodialer
You may call the Verbatim autodialer at any time from any phone. The unit will
wait the programmed number of rings before answering and then will begin a
full status report. The status report starts with the Station ID Message, followed
by any special warning messages (e.g.: no phone numbers programmed, or the
unit is disarmed, etc.), and concludes with the listing of the status of each
channel input.
If there are no alarm conditions on any channel, then the Verbatim autodialer
will say “All channels normal” just prior to beginning the complete channel
status report.
If there are channels with unacknowledged alarms conditions prior to the call,
placing a call to the unit will result in the acknowledgement of these alarms.
The Verbatim autodialer will say “Alarm is acknowledged” immediately after
reciting the Station ID message.
v
Exception:
The Call in Acknowledge Mode command (Code 925) may be used to set the
Verbatim so that calls
to the unit will not automatically acknowledge alarms.
The channel status report will be recited the programmed number of message
repeats (default is 3 times). Between each recital the Verbatim autodialer will
issue a prompting beep and then wait a few seconds for you to optionally enter a
special Command Tone. See Section 5.7, “Programming by Phone.” After all
message repeats, if you have not entered a tone, the unit will say “Goodbye”
and terminate the call.
See Section 6.2, “Programming Operations.”
