• At the Setup System Information Menu, enter 6 (Setup Service Phone Number).

Enable Communications Check
Enabling this function permits a daily communications test between the AC8 and the selected service
phone number. Once each day the AC8 dials the service phone number at a specified time and sends
this message: “AC8 COMM CHECK.” (The time of the test is specified at the next prompt, Enter
Time To Perform Communications Check.)
• At the Enable Communications Check prompt, enter Y (Yes - enable) or N (No - disable). The cur-
rent setting appears in brackets—[N] in the following example.
• Press Enter to proceed, or Escape to cancel the entry. If you make a change, a confirmation mes-
sage appears: “Command Successful.”
Enter Time To Perform Communications Check
This function schedules the daily communications test between the AC8 and the selected service
phone number, as described in the previous section.
• At the Enter Time To Perform Communications Check prompt, enter the time to initiate the com-
munications check, using the format HH:MM (hours and minutes in military time), ranging from
00:00 for midnight to 23:59 for 11:59 p.m. The current setting appears in brackets—[00:00] in the
following example.
• Press Enter to proceed, or Escape to cancel the entry. If you make a change, a confirmation mes-
sage appears: “Command Successful.”
