Presume change network / moved panel is other answer ? I’ve gone onto the menu and communicators , can’t seem to find the “ gsm signal strenght” option - where is that exactly please ! Kool kid is it possible to put this as its own post . Added to this post in error thks

To check signal level go into engineer mode, comms menu, communicators, GSM/GPRS, then press yes on status. This will give you the name of network and signal strength. You can get an extender which will be remote to the actual control panel if signal is an issue.
2012paddy2012 wrote: » Thanks altor. It’s showing good signal at 60 percent. I’m a little puzzled as it seems to only happen very infrequently , must be dropping the signal from Eir or something , that extender you mention , is that a standalone device just to increase the signal strength ? Doubt I would need it at 60% ? Thanks for advice Paddy
altor wrote: » Signal should be good at 60% It could well be the signal dropping on the network. You could increase the fault time if it is causing an issue in the signal monitor menu. The extender is located away from the panel but looking at 60% I wouldnt move it.

What would you recommend to set it to? It’s sending “ gsm line fault “ to the 3 numbers set up. Is it possible to turn off that warning message specifically for this error going to the numbers set up ? One of the numbers is an elderly relative I’d prefer only genuine “ events” being sent out ! Thks all Paddy

2012paddy2012 wrote: » Thanks Altor. I followed that in sequence exactly. When I go into Phone Options menu , it shows the phone number (3) that are programmed to ring on an event. I know Im near it!!!! , not there as i say , its only the numbers, to send event too.
