The Intruder Alarm
Your Telecom can be set up to act as an intruder or burglar alarm. This
feature is designed to protect your home when you are on holiday, or away
visiting friends. It can also be used at night when you are sleeping.
Your Telecom can use movement sensors and pressure mats to detect
intruders. It can also be connected to a conventional burglar alarm if you
wish. The advantage of Telecom over most burglar alarms is that Telecom
will call a response center to summon help, whereas many burglar alarms
just make a loud noise.
Turning the intruder alarm on
If your Telecom is set up to work as
an intruder alarm one of the user
keys will be labelled Intruder. If an
intruder is detected your Telecom will
automatically call your response
center and report the intruder.
However, you have to turn this feature
on and off as you need it, otherwise
your Telecom might think there is an
intruder in your kitchen every time you
make a cup of coffee.
To turn your intruder alarm on press the Intruder key. You will hear the
word Intruder spoken, and the Intruder key will light up.
Exit time. If you are setting your intruder alarm before you go away on
holiday, or even to the shops, then you will have a fixed amount of time to
leave your home before intruder detection becomes active. This is usually
set to 60 seconds, although this time can be altered by an installer or your
response center.
