Sometimes emergency responders are dispatched for false alarms.
Sometimes response is delayed while dispatchers verify that an alarm signal represents a real emergency.
Alarm Cancel/Verify allows users to quickly confirm that an alarm is real or to cancel an alarm that has been set off by mistake or a malfunction.
When an alarm occurs (intrusion, fire or carbon monoxide), the app displays a Cancel button, Dispatch slider and 2-minute timer seen below.
During those 2 minutes, the user can assess the situation on-scene and verify the emergency or cancel the alarm. When the delay has elapsed, the option disappears.
- To verify that the alarm is real and call for help, move the DISPATCH slider to the right.
- To cancel, firmly tap the CANCEL button.
These actions notify your central station to send help immediately or cancel the alert.
NOTES
- The act of confirming or cancelling cannot be undone.
- The Cancel button and Dispatch slider work independently of other Clear and Cancel
options.
