CENTRAL 5000 Monitored Wireless Security Alarm System (490-2570) Description Faxback Doc. # 32974 HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS After you set up your account with ORCA Monitoring Services, your system calls and reports alarms to ORCA Monitoring Services' trained staff of security professionals. See "During an Alarm" on Faxback Doc. # 19416. The system also automatically calls ORCA Monitoring Services about once per month to preform a routine check-in. This call is made between Midnight and 6 AM to avoid possible interference with other phone calls. If you lift the handset and hear strange tones, hang up and wait a few minutes for the call to end. If ORCA Monitoring Services does not receive a check-in within this time, they call you to let you know of a possible problem with the system. ORCA Monitoring Services can also have the system blink the MONITOR indicator and sound a chirp. If you see this, call 1-800-FOR-ORCA to determine the problem. SETTING UP MONITORED SERVICE IMPORTANT: Your system is not fully operational until ORCA Monitoring Services programs the system. To set up service, you need to: Fill out the enclosed monitoring agreement and mail or fax it to ORCA Monitoring Services. Install the system. Call ORCA Monitoring Services by lifting your phone's handset and pressing MONITOR on the console or by dialing 1-800-FOR-ORCA (1-800- 367-6722) from a telephone on the same line as your system. During the call, ORCA Monitoring Services instructs you to press MONITOR on the system and then hang up the phone. They then program option settings (listed on Pages 8-9) into the system. The preferred settings work best for most situations. However, you can ask ORCA Monitoring Services to change these settings to make the system work best for you. (If you do not ask for changes, the preferred settings are used.) NOTE: The system beeps when programming is complete. To avoid interrupting system programming, do not lift your telephone's handset until you hear the beep. After ORCA Monitoring Services programs your system, you can begin using it. However, they do not notify emergency services of an alert until they have received and responded to your monitoring agreement. Allow 24 hours for faxed requests and 5 days for mailed requests. NOTE: Call 1-800-FOR-ORCA at least 5 days before you move to another address. Place a check mark next to any settings you want to discuss with ORCA, and refer to these settings when you call them to set up service.
