Always willing to help an Angry Old White Guy.

Unfortunately Sir, the alarm is trying to dial a receiver and changing
the number to your own will not help.  It will keep on trying to connect
to a receiver, and the trouble light will never go away.  The trouble
you're getting is likely "Failure to communicate".

Now the next big question, are you comfortable programming this thing?
Have you seen the 'installers' manual?

Since you own the system, you can negotiate a good deal on monitoring
from a local dealer or ....

If not, you may want to contact this fellow (he may be able to dial-in
to your system and reprogram it):
