Chapter 4: Access System Features by Phone

This chapter covers Magellan’s remote access feature that transforms any external touch-tone telephone into a keypad. Through the

telephone, you will be able to arm/disarm your system, listen to any messages, activate outputs and more.

Access System Features by Phone

Due to Magellan’s voice-assisted remote features, any touch-tone telephone can be turned into a keypad. Arm/disarm Magellan,

activate/deactivate Magellan’s PGM outputs, record/listen to messages and even turn Magellan into a speakerphone all via your

telephone. Using detailed voice prompts to guide your way, remote access to Magellan is as easy as picking up the telephone.

Please note the following:

• The following instructions pertain to entering commands and/or data through your telephone’s keypad. Therefore, whenever you are

instructed to perform an action and/or enter data, do so on your telephone’s keypad.

• Magellan will automatically hang up if no action is performed after 2 minutes.

• Press the [*] key at any time to exit and have Magellan hang up.

• When Magellan is in speakerphone mode, key [

PHONE] on the center keypad will flash rapidly.
