1. The access system uses your existing telephone to let you talk with visitors and allow them access to the property, if you desire. A visitor is instructed to find your “directory code” on the system’s built-in electronic directory and enter your code on the keypad. The system then dials your telephone number, which has already been programmed into the system’s memory, and your telephone will ring. The system will keep your number confidential.
2. Upon answering the telephone, you will be in normal conversation with the visitor. Be sure to
speak clearly and strongly so the visitor can hear you over the any noise near the gate. The call can last for up to 90 seconds, after that period, the system will automatically end the call to ensure the system is available to other visitors. Starting ten (10) seconds prior to the end of the call, you will begin to hear a short tone each second to signal you that the call is about to end.
3. Once you have answered the call, you may take one of two actions: (1) dial a “9” to open the gate at the entrance, (2) dial a “*” to hang up without granting entry. DO NOT HANG UP UNTIL YOU DIAL ONE OF THESE “NUMBERS”.
4. If you dialed a “9”, the gate will open. The system will display the message to the visitor “ACCESS GRANTED-PLEASE ENTER NOW” and will emit short tones for 3 seconds. You will hear these tones and then the system will hang up.
The tele-entry system also allows the resident to have an access code to enter at the gate location to gain access.
Remember NOT to push the # button before entering your access code (else the system will think that you are trying to call someone in the development)
If you make a mistake while entering your code, press the “*” key. This will clear what you have entered and let you start again.
Protect your code! If you suspect that your code has become known by others, notify the management so your code may be changed.
