- Enter [*] [*] [*] on any local touch tone phone to turn the ESCORT on

Step 1 – First System Options – ESCORT Section [002]
• Turn Option [03] ON to enable Home Automation.
• An access can be required to enter the [*] [5] Automation for additional security. If Option [04] is ON,
an access code is required. If Option [04] is OFF, an access code is not required.
Step 2 – Number of Automation Transmissions – ESCORT Section [007]
The number of Automation transmissions can be changed to increase reliability. Since the Automation
transmissions are non-confirmed and occur over the existing AC wiring of the premises, having the
ESCORT transmit multiple On/Off commands can increase reliability.
• Program the number of on/off transmissions to be sent for each command.
• Note, each transmission takes approximately one second. The larger the number, the slower the
Automation system will appear to operate.
