Direct link 

The direct link buttons function as follows: 

  The Base Unit dials the programmed telephone 

number stored in memory location 1, 2 or 3 and 

operates the unit as a speaker phone. 

  Used for scrolling between fields when setting 

the clock. 

  Used for adjusting the volume during two-way 

voice communication with incoming calls or for 

calls performed using the direct link buttons. 

Press direct link button 1 to increase the volume 

or direct link button 3 to decrease the volume. 

Programming of the direct link buttons is performed 

by the Visonic Monitoring Center. The stored 

telephone numbers may be modified at any time. 

Note: 

The

 

preprogrammed telephone number can 

be written on a label below the buttons using a 

pencil. The telephone number can easily be 

modified or erased using an ordinary pencil eraser.

 

In the Event of Smoke (Smoke 

Detector – Optional) 

Your system can monitor up to 29 optional smoke 
detectors (purchased separately). If a smoke 
detector detects smoke, the smoke detector will 
sound its alarm and signal the Base Unit. The 
Base Unit calls the Monitoring Center to report a 
possible fire. Then the Monitoring Center 
representative answers, the situation is assessed, 
and the appropriate response is determined. 

In the Event that User Falls (Fall 

Detector - Optional) 

The fall detector is activated once the unit is tilted 
by more than 60

°

 in any direction. 

The Base Unit will announce "Fall Detected" after 
30 sec. The Base Unit will transmit an emergency 
alarm after an additional 30 sec has elapsed (60 
sec after the fall detector is first tilted). 

If, during this time, the user restores the fall 
detector to its upright position, the unit will 
announce "Fall Device Upright – System OK". 

In the Event that No Activity is 

detected (Motion Detector / 

Transmitter - Optional) 

The motion detector and door contact transmitter 

are used to monitor the user's activity. If no activity 

is detected by the enrolled transmitter(s) during a 

pre-defined amount of time, the AMBER CLASSIC / 

AMBER CLASSIC X will report an inactivity 

condition to the Monitoring Center, which will initiate 

a two-way voice communication. Inactivity time 

periods are defined remotely by the central station. 

Non-Emergency Services (CALL) 

The Visonic Monitoring Center provides non-
emergency (concierge-type) services.  
When you press the CALL button, the Base Unit 
displays (AMBER CLASSIC only) CALL WAS 
PRESSED. If NON - EMERGENCY services are 
available to you, the Base Unit will contact the 
Monitoring Center and open a two-way voice 
communication. 
You can use the CALL button to speak to a 
Monitoring Center representative about your 
system. Because the call is non-emergency call, 
there might be a delay before the Monitoring 
Center representative responds. 
As long as the display (AMBER CLASSIC only) 
shows CALL WAS PRESSED, you do not need to 
press the button again. A representative will begin 
speaking to you shortly. 

Remote control by telephone
