User Manual

Using an offsite phone

If enabled by the installer, you can control your Simon XT panel remotely from an offsite phone. The panel

answers a phone call according to the dialing method programmed by your installer.

After a certain combination of rings and pauses, the panel will answer the call with the voice prompt Enter

your code. You must enter the correct code to gain access.

If you are interacting with your panel and the panel hangs up on you, the system is calling in a report to the

central monitoring station or remote phone due to an action by you or someone at the security system site. The

actions listed in Table 6 may be performed from an offsite phone.

Note: This feature is not verified for use by UL.
