OVERVIEW

The MS-2001 Dial-Alert can be used as both an Emergency Dialer and a regular speakerphone. When activated during an emergency, the dialer will send a prerecorded message, maximum 40 seconds, to as many as 9 pre-programmed telephone numbers.

The Dial-Alert also works in conjunction with Skylink's Security System SC-100 and SC-200. When the alarm sounds on the control panel on any of our security systems, the Dial-Alert will be activated.

The Dial-Alert is activated when:

1. The red panic button [O] on the keypad of the Dial-Alert is pressed.

2. The red button is pressed on the keychain transmitter 4B434 (included in the

MS-2001 package).

3. The red panic button [O] on the keypad of our security system (SC-100 and

SC-200)* is pressed.

4. The button on the panic transmitter (PT-434)* is pressed.

5. The security system SC-100 and SC-200 activated by any programmed sensors

(i.e.door/window sensor, motion sensor, etc.).

* The security systems, additional keychain transmitters and sensors must first be programmed to communicate with the Dial-Alert.

The MS-2001 Dial-Alert can also be used as a speakerphone capable of receiving and sending telephone calls. You can also pre-program three different telephone numbers for your convenience. You can activate these pre-programmed numbers by pressing either the [T1], [T2] or [T3] buttons on the dialer or the corresponding white button on the keychain transmitters. These three telephone numbers may differ from the preprogrammed emergency telephone numbers discussed above.

You can connect your dialer MS-2001 to a Skylink’s Authorized Monitoring Station.

The MS-2001 is equipped with some special features that allow communication between the dialer and the monitoring station. One of the special features is that the dialer will transmit users information to the monitoring station when the panic button is pressed. Another feature is that maximum of 16 persons can share one dialer MS-2001 and whenever one of the panic transmitters is activated, the dialer will be able to distinguish who needs help and that person’s information will be sent to the monitoring station. This feature is especially useful for senior homes and hospitals.

This manual is divided into 4 sections in order to assist you on the installation and programming of your Dial-Alert.

SPEAKERPHONE

The MS-2001 Dial-Alert can also be used as a speakerphone to send and receive telephone calls.

To answer an incoming call using the keypad on the Dial Alert:

1. When the phone is ringing, press the [Hook] button on the front of the dialer to answer the call.

2. Face the front of the dialer, approximately one to ten feet from the microphone

(MIC) on the dialer and speak clearly.

3. When the conversation is completed, press the [Hook] button again to terminate the call.

To answer an incoming call using the Keychain Transmitter (4B-434)

1. First, learn the Keychain Transmitter to the Dialer (refer to Advanced Programming,

(Program the ID code of a transmitter - page 18)

2. Select which of the speed dial buttons (either [T1], [T2] or [T3]) you want to use to answer an incoming call. (We recommend [T3])

3. Press [T3] on the dialer, the LED display beside the screen will show "3".

4. Within five seconds, press [#], on the dialer.

5. Now when the phone rings, press the #3 key on the Keychain Transmitter and speak clearly into the microphone (MIC) on the Dial Alert.

Any of the white buttons (#1, 2 or 3) on the Keychain Transmitter can pick up an incoming call, however, if a phone number has been learned in [T1], [T2] or [T3] to be used for speed dialing, that preprogrammed telephone number will be dialed before you are allowed to speak. Once the phone rings and any of the white keys are pressed on the Keychain Transmitter (which answers the phone), the caller will hear the beeping tone of a telephone number being dialed. You can then begin your conversation.

In order to avoid a phone number being dialed when a call is picked up using the

Keychain Transmitter, we recommend that you do not program a phone number using [T3] and answer calls using the #3 button on the transmitter. (for programming information, see above "To answer an incoming call using the Keychain Transmitter (4B-434)"). Use the [T1] and [T2] buttons to program speed dial numbers.

(see Speaker Phone "Speed Dial" page 10.)

To make a call:

1. Press the [Hook] button (you will hear a dial tone).

2. Use the telephone keypad on the dialer to enter the outgoing phone number

(the dialer will beep when a key is pressed). After the last number is entered you need not press any further keys to send the phone number.

3. If the called party answers, you may start the conversation.

4. When the conversation is over or at any point you wish to terminate the call, press the [Hook] button. This will disconnect the phone line.

SPEED DIAL

Programming the Speed Dial buttons, [T1], [T2] & [T3]. To program these buttons:

1. Press [T1] to program phone number into memory [T1], the LED display beside the screen will show "1".

2. Within five seconds, begin entering the phone number you wish to save. (a maximum of 32 digits). The numbers will flash on the screen as they are entered. Do not wait longer than five seconds between entering the keys or the dialer will revert back to "clock mode".

3. When the phone number is entered, press the [T1] key to complete the process.

The dialer will return to "clock mode".

Repeat the above procedure replacing [T1] with [T2] to store the second speed dial number and [T3] to store the third number. Remember, if you plan to answer incoming calls using the third button on the Keychain Transmitter, do not record a telephone number to [T3].

To make a call using the Speed Dial buttons

1. Press [Hook].

2. Press either the [T1], [T2] or [T3] button on the dialer depending on which preprogrammed telephone number you wish to use. The dialer will beep as each digit is entered. After the last number is entered, you need not press any further keys to send the phone number.

3. If the called party answers, just start talking.

4. When the conversation is over or at any point you wish to terminate the call, press the [Hook] button.

Using the Keychain Transmitter to make a call:

The keychain transmitter has four buttons. The red button is to activate the dialer in an emergency and the other three white buttons (number 1, 2 & 3) are to activate the three different pre-programmed speed dial numbers.

When button #1 is pressed on the keychain transmitter, the telephone number programmed using the [T1] key will be activated. (for more information, see Programming the Speed Dial buttons mentioned earlier in this section). The dialer will react in the same manner as if the [T1] button was pressed on the dialer.

Button #2 on the keychain will dial the same telephone number as the [T2] button and button #3 will dial the same number as if the [T3] button was pressed on the dialer. Remember, if you plan to answer incoming calls using the third button on the Keychain Transmitter, do not record a telephone number to [T3].

DELAY DIALING (ENTRY / EXIT MODE)

CAUTION:

Delay Dialing should NOT BE ENABLED if your dialer is used for health care monitoring. Since this feature will not activate the dialer every time when it receives an emergency signal. We do not recommend you enable this feature if your dialer is used for monitoring human life. This feature is designed ONLY to used in conjunction with Door/Window sensor (WT433) or Motion Sensor (PS433). Please make sure you disable this feature (factory default is disabled) if the dialer is used in conjunction with the Panic Transmitter or any panic buttons which require immediate attention.

The delay dialing serves two purposes. It allows you to leave the premises without activating the dialer and allows you to enter a premises and gives you time to turn off the dialer before it begins to dial. When the delay dialing is enabled, the dialer will be disengaged for a specific period of time (either 30, 45, 60, or 75 seconds) depending on the delay setting, see page 21. This delay dialing allows you to activate any sensor without activating the dialer. Therefore, DO NOT

ENABLE THIS FEATURE IF THE DIALER IS USED FOR HEALTH CARE PUR-

POSES.

Exiting a premises using the delay dialing

If exiting a premises through a door that is monitored with a door sensor and the delay dialing is set to 0 seconds and the dialer is on, the dialer will dial the preprogrammed telephone numbers everytime you open that door. When the dialer is set to a specified delay, (45 seconds for example) and that door is opened, the dialer will be inactive for 45 seconds, which allows you to leave the premises. The screen on the dialer will display "dELAY" while the delay is on.

After the 45 seconds, the dialer is re-activated, the screen returns to clock mode and the dialer is ready to receive an emergency signal from any programmed sensor.

Entering a premises using the delay dialing

If entering a premises through a door that is monitored with a door sensor and the delay dialing is set to 0 seconds and the dialer is on, the dialer will dial the pre-programmed telephone numbers immediately once that door is opened or any sensor is activated. When the dialer is set to a specified delay, (45 seconds for example) and that door is opened, the dialer will beep for 45 seconds then begin to dial the preprogrammed telephone numbers. The screen will flash

"dELAY" while the dialer is beeping. This 45 seconds allows you to go to the dialer and deactivate it before it begins to dial. To deactivate the dialer, press and holding the red panic button [O] on the keypad for two seconds. If you have successfully aborted the call, the display will go back to clock mode. If the dialer has not been deactivated within those 45 seconds, the dialer will dial the emergency phone numbers.

UNIVERSAL DIAL TONE

This feature allows our Dial-Alert to be compatible with all phone systems worldwide. When the Universal Dial Tone is off, our Dial-Alert needs a dial tone before it will dial the pre-programmed telephone numbers. However, not all phone systems and dial tones are the same. For instance, the dial tone may be different for any phone system which accommodates with the voice message systems or call answer feature. When the Universal Dial Tone is on, our Dial-Alert will dial no matter what type of dial tone is present. This Universal Dial Tone is factory set to off. However, you may wish to set it to on if your phone line accommodates with the voice message systems or call answer feature.

Turn on the universal dial tone:


2. Press the [9] key, display will show “ L 9 1 ”. The last digit (1) indicates that the

universal dial tone detection is turned off.

3. Press the [2] key within 5 seconds after pressing the [9] key to turn on the

universal dial tone.

When the universal dial tone is turned off, and no dial tone is detected within 1 minute (after the dialer is activated), the display will show “no LInE” and the backlit keypad will flash. To return to standby mode (Display shows the time), press and hold the panic button [O] for 2 seconds.

DIAL SEQUENCE SETTING

During an emergency, the dialer can dial the preprogrammed phone numbers in two different sequences.

1. Dials each preprogrammed telephone number once and after the last number is dialed, the dialer goes back to the first phone number. Dials it once then dials the second telephone number once and continues this sequence until the last number is dialed and if the redial is set to "3", it will repeat this sequence one more time.

– 21 –


2. Will completely dial the first preprogrammed phone number before dialing the second programmed telephone number. If the redial count is set to "3", the dialer will dial the first telephone number three times, then dial the second number three times and continue with this sequence until all the telephone numbers are dialed.

To program the Dial Sequence Setting

1. Press the [L] key, display will show "L".

2. Press the [0] key, display will show "L0 2" The last digit "2" is the dial setting sequence. It is currently set to dial first number completely, then repeat next sequence.

Users can assign a 4-digit password allowing the recipients to terminate the emergency message and stop the dialer from dialing. Once the recipient receives the emergency message, she/he can enter this password to terminate the dialer from calling the rest of the phone numbers. Since the dialer will stop calling once the password is entered, therefore the recipient should know exactly the situation and emergency of the caller before terminating the call. This password should only be given to the relatives or close friends.

To assign the 4-digit password

1.

Press [L], [0], [5]

2.

Enter the 4-digit password

3.

Press [*]

You will hear 2 beeps from the dialer to confirm the operation.
