Telephone line monitoring
Your Premier 1000 is set-up to monitor whether the telephone line is available.
The line could become unavailable if the telephone line is disconnected or if the
service provided by your local telephone line supplier (e.g. TELSTRA) fails.
If your telephone line is unavailable, after one minute your unit will make a
warning beep every second until it becomes available again. If the warning is
sounded, check that the telephone lead is plugged into the socket correctly. The
warning can be silenced by pressing the CANCEL button. If in doubt check with
your local telephone service supplier (e.g. TELSTRA).
Power Failure
Your Premier 1000 is set-up to monitor for a power failure.
If there is a power failure your unit will continue to work (but the alarm
button won’t be illuminated). When the power fails, the unit beeps rapidly 10
times. A special battery takes over and supplies power for several hours (in
normal use). Once the battery is exhausted, the unit will cease to work until
mains power is restored. You will still be able to use your telephone.
If the power failure lasts for more than one hour, within the next hour your
unit will automatically dial the Alarm Monitoring Centre. The operator may al-
ready know that you have experienced a power failure and they should ask if you
are alright. The automatic call to the Alarm Monitoring Centre will be repeated
every four hours until the power supply is restored. The same warning call(s) will
be made if your unit is unplugged from the mains power supply or if the mains is
switched off.
The battery is automatically recharged by the mains power supply. After a
long power-cut it may take up to 36 hours to regain its full charge. If in doubt
check with your supplier.
