7.2.2 Direct programming
There is always the option of programming the EquiAlarm by temporarily inserting the EquiAlarm‘s SIM card into your
or another person‘s mobile telephone and saving the numbers on the SIM card via the telephone in question. However,
this is usually the most complex method. In order to programme the SIM card directly, you should proceed as follows:
• Take the SIM card out of the EquiAlarm‘s SIM card holder. (see 5.3)
• Now insert the SIM card into a different mobile telephone.
• Turn on the mobile telephone.
• Now programme the names M1 and M2 into memory slots 11 and 12 on the SIM card. You will find the procedure
for doing this in the manual for the mobile telephone. Take care to ensure that you do not programme the num-
bers into the main memory of the telephone.
• Program both numbers on the SIM card. If you do not want one of the memory slots to be called, save the fol-
lowing as the telephone number: “+1111”.
8. Testing
Before you start using the EquiAlarm, it is essential that you first test it to ensure that it is operating correctly. You
can easily test the alarm yourself.
• Preferably visit the location where your mare is located with the EquiAlarm.
• Take the EquiAlarm in your hands and switch it on, so that the status indicator flashes green once every 8 seconds.
• Now turn the EquiAlarm 90 degrees, so that the status indicator is facing upwards.
• The status indicator will now flash more rapidly and will turn orange.
• After a few seconds, the status indicator will turn blue and the GSM LED will light up also.
• The EquiAlarm will now shortly begin dialling the number programmed under “M1”.
• Do not answer this call and, similarly, do not reject it by pushing the red button. Simply allow the telephone to ring
out.
• The EquiAlarm will cease calling automatically after a few seconds.
• You can now stop the EquiAlarm by simply calling it. The EquiAlarm will answer your call and you will hear 3 tones
as confirmation that you have deactivated the EquiAlarm. The EquiAlarm will then dial no further numbers until it
is once again turned 90° after a few minutes.
If the test proved successful, you can now install the EquiAlarm on your mare.
If you encounter any problems, please use the enclosed “Troubleshooter”.
You can programme the mobile phone number of the EquiAlarm in your phone, using a
name like “Mare” or “Birth”. You will now be able to see on the display when the
EquiAlarm calls.
When you the EquiAlarm calls you (whether it is a birth alarm or a programming call),
never answer the call. When you answer it is basically a conversation and you will be
charged so. Never decline (push the red button) a call either, because the call may be
diverted to your voicemail.
