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

["Crash Gordon" <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Other problems would be...it may call you on a trouble or daily test...so
how will you know?....call the police for a low battery signal or a missing
point? You'll be creating nuisance alarms for the PD - and false alarm fines
for yourself.

Look into adding a voice dialer if this is really the route you want to
take.
