SECTION 4 – USER INSTRUCTIONS
4.1 Resident Operating Instructions
4.1.1 Granting or Denying a Guest Access
To place a call from the Access Plus unit to a residence, the guest locates the directory code of the
resident they want to visit, and then enters that code on the unit’s keypad. Once the guest has been
identified by voice communication, the resident may grant them access by pressing the appropriate
tone open number, or they may deny access by simply hanging up or by pressing the programmed
hang-up number.
1. To grant access to a guest, press the programmed tone open number. (The factory setting for
the tone open number is 9, however this can be programmed to any number desired. See
section 2.4.6 to program tone open numbers.) The Access Plus unit will respond with a
confirming tone and will open the door or gate.
2. To deny access, hang up the telephone or press the programmed hang-up number.
4.1.2 Call Waiting
This feature is only available if the Access Plus unit is connected with the 1816 Access Plus
interface and applies to directory codes 01-23 only. This feature is not available when the
Access Plus unit is used as an auto-dialer.
When a resident is on their telephone and a guest enters their directory code on the Access Plus
unit’s keypad, the unit will sound a short tone in the resident’s handset. This indicates to the resident
that a guest is at the door or gate.
1. To place the outside call on HOLD and talk to the guest, press #.
2. To grant the guest access, press the programmed tone open number. The Access Plus unit
will respond with a confirming tone, open the door or gate, and will reconnect the resident’s
phone with their outside call.
3. To deny the guest access, press #. The Access Plus unit will disconnect from the resident’s
phone and reconnect it to the outside call.
The same process can be used when the resident is talking to a guest at the Access Plus unit and an
outside call comes in. The resident can place the guest on hold and switch to the outside call.
When using the Access Plus unit in the auto-dialer mode, it’s a good idea for residents to subscribe to
a call waiting feature offered by the phone company.
