I guess I could also call-forward to my office too, huh?
Yes.
Can people call and disturb me at all hours of the day or night, with this thing?
That’s up to you. You can make it active 24/7 or you can set up a time schedule, where ONLY
during certain hours of the day (or night) will it call the house, when the button is pushed.
Tell me more about this “Time Schedule”.
Just like an airline schedule (only, more accurate!), it defines a starting time and an ending time,
and some combination of days in the week when something is true. Like Mondays and Fridays
from 10 in the morning until 2 in the afternoon, is an example of a Time Schedule. Or Mon-
day through Friday from 9 to 5.
Why would I want a schedule that is true, while I am at work?
Because you could put that time schedule in the call forwarding function, and any calls to the
house from the SG-2, would be automatically routed to your office. After you’re back home,
any calls go directly to the house and you didn’t have to do anything to make that happen after
you set up the Time Schedule.
How do I do that?
You can program Time Schedules from the keypad on the SG-2. You can also program Time
Schedules (as well as any other programmable function) from a Touch Tone phone in your
house. You could even get the optional modem and software package and program it from
your computer. There is a programming features sheet that has a place for you to fill in the
blanks and key in the information. You could get your installer to do it, but it’s a LOT easier,
with the software.
This must be how some PINs only work on Wednesdays.
Yes, you simply assign a Time Schedule to a PIN (or a card).
How many Time Schedules are there in this thing?
Lots. Time Schedule 0 is 24/7. There are also 7 individually programmable Time Schedules (1 –
7) and two that are combinations: Time Schedule #8 is a combination of Time Schedules 4 and
5. Time Schedule #9 is a combination of Time Schedules 6 and 7.
Why would I want to combine Time Schedules?
We don’t know either, but they’re there, if you need them! Actually, this is pretty useful to small
businesses that want their gates to automatically open in the morning, so employees can get
into a restricted parking lot; then automatically open again in the afternoons, so the employees
can go home.
