OPERATING YOUR TELEPHONE
ACCESS MODULE
During the installation of your Telephone Access
Module (TAM), the installer connected the unit to an
available telephone jack in your home and configured
the number of rings needed before the TAM answers
a call.
A quick reference card (form 69-
2011) is included with the TAM.
Use this wallet card to help you
with the menu items, alerts, and
zone names.
The TAM is equipped with an emergency telephone
line disconnect feature activated when another
receiver in the premises is picked up while the TAM is
connected.
To test the disconnect feature:
While connected on a call to the TAM, flick the
receiver hook a few times in order for the TAM to
hang up and for you to receive a dial tone.
Calling Your Telephone Access Module
Carefully review the Main menu (see Fig. 4 on
page 11) before operating your TAM.
IMPORTANT:
The TAM is designed to provide remote tele-
phone access to your thermostat settings and
information. To access this information or make
changes, you must connect with the TAM from
an outside line. If you want to access the TAM
from within the home, you need to use a second
phone line or call from a cellular telephone.
IMPORTANT:
When interfacing with the W8735D make sure to
always press firmly and fully on the telephone
key. Fast or light key presses can result in
missed inputs.
IMPORTANT:
When dialing into the W8735D from a cellular
telephone, make sure the reception is good.
Faulty reception can result in missed key pad
entries and eventual time-outs and hang ups.
The TAM can share the line with your telephone
answering machine or voice mail.
