          <title>Alarm callout phone</title>
         <p>A GSM dialler has been fitted to the intruder alarm and it no longer sounds on the stair when the building is opened or closed.</p>
          <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>
