Sensor alert
When someone has arrived home, or you have forgotten to close the
door, you will receive audible and text sensor alerts, for example,
“DOOR is open”, on the handset and telephone base.
You can also program the phone system to make remote alert calls
to up to three other telephone numbers. When you receive the
remote alert call from the telephone base, you can choose to listen
to the sound in your house; or you can choose to speak through the
telephone base to the visitor or intruder. See pages 27 to 28.
Programmable alerts
Customize when and how you receive alerts.
When you receive alerts:
A monitored garage door, in-house door, window, medicine
cabinet opens, or there is motion in the monitored area;
The monitored object is open for more than 15, 30, or 60 minutes
if you have set a reminder for alerts;
The monitored object is open, or a motion is detected, during a
certain period of time if you have set a time range for alerts.
How you receive alerts:
Audible and text sensor alerts on handset and telephone base;
Receive a remote alert call on your cell phone or at other remote
numbers you have programmed. See pages 27 to 28.
