For Example, if you are Skypage
TM
service subscriber, to program your pager number into the unit, your entry would be
similar to:
1 800 759 7243 ### 5555 *# # **
(Ignore the spaces - they are shown for clarity only).
The "
18007597243
" is the Skypage
TM
phone number; "
##
#" is a 6 second pause to allow time for the call to be answered;
"
5555
" represents your pin number; "
*#
" tells the unit to actually dial the "
#
" sign after the pin number; the last "
#
" is a 2
second pause; and "
**
" instructs the unit to accepts this entire string as your pager number. A maximum of 29 characters can
be accepted as a pager number.
If you have problems determining where and how many pauses are required between numbers try "listening-in" on the unit
while it is dialing your pager service. For more on how to "listen-in", please refer to Troubleshooting, Section 2, Listening-in,
page 9.
ALWAYS-IN-TOUCH DETAILED OPERATION
This section will detail the specific operating characteristics of Always-in-Touch.
Always-in-Touch operates on a 9 volt, DC, center negative, power supply. The pager number and all options set by the user
are stored in non-volatile memory. Stored information will not be lost if the unit loses power. The pager number and user
defined options remain in memory until either the user changes them or the unit is reset. The
99**
option resets the unit,
erases the pager number, and sets all options back to their default values (
20
,
30
,
40
,
50
,
60
,
90
). It also deletes any
notifications in stored in memory that have not been delivered. If the pager number is no
longer in memory, Always-in-Touch produces an "error" tone every time the handset is lifted.
The LED on the front of the unit will light:
1.
Momentarily, when the unit is first connected to power but an "live" phone line has not been connected.
2.
Continuously, when the unit has power and a "live" phone line is connected.
3.
When the unit receives a touch-tone digit.
4.
When the unit hears the line ringing.
5.
Momentarily, when the unit detects Caller ID data between the first and second ring.
The LED on the front of the unit will flash:
1.
When the unit is waiting before it goes off hook to notify the pager.
2.
At 1 second intervals during a call. This shows that the unit is actively monitoring the line for touch tones dialed and is
timing the call.
In the normal operating mode, after a call is completed, Always-in-Touch will wait 15 seconds and go Off-Hook. It will dial
the pager number, wait until it hears 5 seconds of silence, and then deliver the call information. If the phone is in use when the
unit tries to go Off-Hook to dial the pager number, the unit will keep trying until it notifies your pager.
If another call is completed before the unit has a chance to notify the pager of the first call, then the second call will be put
into a queue. After the information on first call is delivered, the unit will then deliver the data for the second call. Always-in-
Touch will queue into memory as many as 10 calls that might arrive back-to-back.
The remote programming mode is invoked when the phone line is answered and the user dials two stars (
**
) and then two
more stars (
**
). (The user can substitute the "
#
" sign for a "
*
", see pages 4 and 12). As soon as the unit enters this mode, the
output jack is disconnected. This protects an answering machine or other device from accepting programming codes
intended only for the Always-in-Touch unit. Remote programming is basically the same as programming on site. The user can
set any number of toggles and even change the pager number if desired. The only difference is that once
88**
is entered, the
unit immediately disconnects the user and performs the
88**
function.
