Page 7: Dip Switch Functions And Settings
The FA-700 has a 4-position DIP switch. The switch settings determine how the FA-700 will respond to specific alarm conditions. Figure 2 shows the DIP switch and Table 3 explains the functions of each switch. Turn the FA-700 upside down as shown in Figure 2 for proper DIP switch orientation. -
Page 8: Power Up Sequence
If the back-up battery voltage drops below 2.35 volts, a low battery alarm will be sent, even when the unit is powered by the AC power adapter. The FA-700 will call the programmed phone number and issue a low battery alarm message. If the unit is operating on battery power only (after an AC power failure), the alarm call-out will continue until battery power drops to approximately 1.9 volts. -

DO NOT WORK. Those phone services require that power be on at the location for the phone to operate. The FA-700 will NOT be able to call out if the power is out when using these phone services.

When it is necessary to connect an answering machine or voice mail device to the same phone line as the FA-700, you can still use all the features of these devices, along with being able to cancel an alarm call out of the FA-700. -
Page 14: How This Works
• Set your answering machine or voice mail to answer in fewer rings than the FA-700. (For example, if the FA-700 is set to answer on 5 rings, set the other device to answer in “4” or fewer rings.) Therefore, when a call comes into the location of the FA-700, the answering machine/voice mail will respond first because it is set to answer in fewer rings than the FA-700. -
