Recording your alarm message(s)
When the home unit makes alarm calls it repeatedly plays your voice message
to inform the called person of your name and what they need to do. The home
unit can be triggered in two main ways: by a
speech trigger
(home unit button,
pendant or pullcord) or by
hardwired input
(from a different source, such as a
smoke alarm or intruder alarm). You can record separate messages for the two
types of alarm.
Note: If you are using a central monitoring agency (i.e. the
ALARM SEQUENCE
option is set to
CENTRAL
), no alarm message is required.
To record your emergency message
1 Select the
SETTINGS
menu screen.
See page 7 for details.

ALARM MESSAGE
option is level with the symbol,

• Practice your message,
• Speak clearly, approximately 30cm (12”) away from the front edge of the
home unit (the microphone is under the lower front corner beneath the large
red button).
