OTHER IMPROVEMENTS

Operation from the phone …

Phone will not answer in response to transients on the phone line such as pickup and hangup of another phone or dial pulses.

Phone line control timer is programmable – allows extended listening without needing to enter Touch-Tone.

A warning announcement is provided indicating pending phone control timer timeout – it says “Time’s Up” and will hang up in three seconds if no Touch-Tone is entered.

When keying a transmitter with a */#, the transmitter is not keyed until the end of the * command so the * doesn’t go out over the air.
