Note:
If you have programmed one of the plug-by outputs as an ATS Test output, then
when you test that output, the control unit will pulse the output active for the correct length

deactivate the output (This test applies to the UK only, and is compliant with Form 175).
When you complete testing the outputs, check that they are in the state you wish to leave
them in.

ARC and communicate the selected channels.
During the call you should see the following progress messages on the display:
“Dialling” then “Connected” followed by “Call Successful”. If the call does not succeed then
the final message will be “Call Failed”.
