Question? |
Will the remote control keyfob work with my
car alarm? |
ANSWER! |
|
| No. However, the company that installed your PowerMax alarm system can
connect your garage door opener to the PowerMax so that the same remote control will work
with your garage door and your alarm system. What's more, by using the PowerMax keyfob as
a garage door opener, the RF signal is truly secure. |

Question? |
How can I tell when the house sitter/maid
service comes and goes? |
ANSWER! |
|
| Your PowerMax security system can store up to 4 telephone numbers in its
memory. These telephone numbers can be sent to a pager, cell phone or your work phone. The
system can be programmed by your installer to notify you via one of these numbers whenever
the system is armed or disarmed. If the system is programmed to call a telephone, you will
get a prerecorded voice message telling you the state of your PowerMax system. If you only
want to "spot" check your PowerMax system, you may access the system's event log
by pressing the asterisk '*' key. Enter the master code (the display and system voice will
ask you for it!). Press 'SHOW/OK' to scroll through the system history. As always pressing
'AWAY' and then 'OK' will exit and return you to the normal state. |

Question? |
How do I know if my alarm is on from outside
my house? |
ANSWER! |
|
| If you have the X-10 control installed on your system, (contact your
dealer), you can have an interior or exterior light come on during the time the system is
armed. For instance the outside front door light or if you prefer you can have the light
flash to indicate when the system is armed. You can also have your remote control keyfob
programmed so when you press the auxiliary button, the system will tell you whether it is
armed or disarmed. |

Question? |
How do I program PowerMax to call my pager or
cell phone? |
ANSWER! |
|
Your PowerMax has up to 4 phone numbers it can call to notify you of
system events. 3 numbers are programmed by your installer, and one can be programmed by
you. Contact your installation company if you wish to have the first three
"permanent" numbers programmed (for example your work number and cell phone
number) the 4th number is a "follow me" number that you can program.
Programming the 'Follow Me' number
Press 'NEXT' until you see 'USER SETTINGS' on the LCD display.
Press 'SHOW/OK'. The system will ask for the master code.
Enter the master code, the LCD will display 'SET PHONE NUMBER'.
Press 'SHOW/OK'. The system will then either show the number already programmed or show a
blank screen with a cursor. Either way, simply enter the new number you wish to call into
the keypad.
Press 'OK' twice to save the number and exit the user settings menu. |
