Re: Got my DVS2400 to call me but no annunciation...

["Crash Gordon" <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Most of those pager formats are old and you MAY be able to get them to work
if you have a pager...who has them any more?

No you won't be able to get it to stop dialing unless it hears a kissoff
signal from the receiver, or it cycles out...usually it's 10 tries (could
even be 10x dtmf, 10x pulse)  but dunno about that toy and usually the
amount of times it tries is not programmable either.

Then when you get home you'll have to clear a fail to communicate.
