189 <p>There is an issue with the (re)direction for calls from this phone. If the alarm rings for longer than 30 seconds then it calls MG, then MS, then SS. It should not call the other two if MG answers the phone. Currently it has returned to default settings and calls all of us. Since our meeting IMMS have agreed to come in and reset the alarm this week. which currently is set up to dial MG, then SS. For obvious reasons, MG's work phone is set up to go to voicemail, but if that means the call is taken to have gone through, that's a problem.</p> 218 <p>There is an issue with the (re)direction for calls from this

222 <p>Unofficial test when someone (not actually an intruder) came in
223 through the stair, called MG, MS and SS, then around again, at which point MS picked up
224 and, we think, pressed '8' which is the way to signal that you've picked up
225 (solving the answerphone problem, because it doesn't press '8'). This stops
226 the calling, but someone still needs to come to the building to switch off the
227 alarm itself.</p>
228 <p>A subsequent intentional test has been done, leaving a few
229 questions but overall things are better.</p>
