Receiving a Call
Each RED ALERT
®
Telephone can be programmed to auto-answer an incoming call. When the auto-dial
telephone extension is dialed, the unit will automatically answer, generate a pair of triple “beep” tones,
and two-way, hands-free conversation can occur.
Disconnecting a Call
There are several methods by which a RED ALERT
®
Auto-dial Telephone can both manually and
automatically disconnect calls. The disconnect methods include the following:

Remote disconnect of a call
– Called party transmits either a “##” or “*99” DTMF control
command.

Manual disconnect of a call
– Press the CALL push button approximately 15 seconds after the initial
activation.
NOTE
: Pressing the CALL push button a second time within 10 seconds of initially activating the
call will have no effect on the telephone’s operation. This prevents an anxious or hurried user from
disconnecting the call prematurely (this feature can be disabled).

Automatic disconnect:
- All calls; loop current-drop disconnect
- All calls; maximum call duration timeout (configurable from 1 minute to 4.5 hours)
- All voice calls; call progress tones (i.e., busy signal/fast busy, or reorder, tone) and, when enabled,
dial tone.
Refer to the “Programming” section of this manual for factory defaults and available options.
Location Identification Code Dialing
The Location Identification Code feature enables the called party to quickly and easily locate the source
of the auto-dial call. When the calling individual presses the
CALL push button, the called party
(typically the security operator) presses the “
*
” button on their telephone. The AD Telephone detects the
“*” signal and transmits a three-digit, DTMF, location identification code. This location code can be
displayed on a customer-provided DTMF decoder/display.
