TELEPHONE ACCESS MODULE
DESCRIPTION
The Telephone Access Module (TAM) is designed
with a dial-in and dial-out capability.
You can dial-in to your home number and have the
TAM give you voice messages concerning the status
of your system such as the indoor temperature
setting, outdoor temperature, and indoor humidity
level as well as alert messages. You can also change
the thermostat setting(s) for heating and cooling by
dialing in to your home number.
The TAM can dial-out to multiple phone numbers to
deliver system alerts such as a low battery,
temperature above or below its configured limit, or a
furnace air filter that needs to be replaced.
The TAM can share a telephone line with most
answering machines and voice mail systems. The
TAM can be prompted to pick up a call to gain access
to the HVAC system before the answering machine or
voice mail are enabled. Additionally, the TAM is
equipped with an emergency telephone line
disconnect feature activated when another receiver in
the premise is picked up while the TAM is connected.
Full access to the TAM is given when the complete
pass code is entered when prompted. Limited access
is given (to contractors) when the last five digits of the
entered Contractor telephone number is entered.
Contractor access is limited to the W8735D Alert
History.

Battery Indicator
Fig. 1. Battery Status LED indicator.
A light emitting diode (LED) indicator on the front
panel of the TAM illuminates to provide information
about the status of the battery:
• Steady Green LED indicates the battery is good
• Flashing Green LED indicates the battery is low
• Alternating Green/Red flashing LED indicates the
battery is missing or dead
IMPORTANT:
If the battery LED indicator is flashing green or
green/red, replace the battery immediately (see
“Battery Installation” on page 5).
Replace the battery annually and/
or before leaving for an extended
period of time.

Battery Installation
The Telephone Access Module requires a 9-volt
alkaline battery (not included) to provide power to the
unit during a power outage in order to allow the unit to
dial-out an alert indicating an extended power
interruption. (See “Alert Messages” on page 8.)
CAUTION
Dead or Missing Battery Hazard.
Can prevent Telephone Access Module
from dialing power outage alert.
Check battery annually or before leaving for
extended absence.
To install or replace the battery:
1. Press the latch on the top of the battery cover
and pull it down and away (Fig. 2).
2. Connect the battery leads to the 9-volt battery.
3. Insert the battery into the compartment.
4. Insert the bottom tabs of the battery cover into
the slots on the case, then swing the battery
cover up and in until the top latch engages. Fig. 2. Installing the Battery.

OPERATING YOUR TELEPHONE
ACCESS MODULE
During the installation of your Telephone Access
Module (TAM), the installer connected the unit to an
available telephone jack in your home and configured
the number of rings needed before the TAM answers
a call.
A quick reference card (form 69-
2011) is included with the TAM.
Use this wallet card to help you
with the menu items, alerts, and
zone names.
The TAM is equipped with an emergency telephone
line disconnect feature activated when another
receiver in the premises is picked up while the TAM is
connected.
To test the disconnect feature:
While connected on a call to the TAM, flick the
receiver hook a few times in order for the TAM to
hang up and for you to receive a dial tone.
Calling Your Telephone Access Module
Carefully review the Main menu (see Fig. 4 on
page 11) before operating your TAM.
IMPORTANT:
The TAM is designed to provide remote tele-
phone access to your thermostat settings and
information. To access this information or make
changes, you must connect with the TAM from
an outside line. If you want to access the TAM
from within the home, you need to use a second
phone line or call from a cellular telephone.
IMPORTANT:
When interfacing with the W8735D make sure to
always press firmly and fully on the telephone
key. Fast or light key presses can result in
missed inputs.
IMPORTANT:
When dialing into the W8735D from a cellular
telephone, make sure the reception is good.
Faulty reception can result in missed key pad
entries and eventual time-outs and hang ups.
The TAM can share the line with your telephone
answering machine or voice mail.

IMPORTANT
Set the proper number of rings for the TAM to
avoid interfering with voice mail or an answering
machine.
To access the TAM when the phone line is shared
set the number of rings the TAM will wait until it
answers to one more than the device sharing the
line:
For example, If your answering machine answers
in four rings, set the TAM to answer in five rings.
1. Call the TAM and let the phone ring two times.
2. Hang up.
3. Call again within 30 seconds.
4. The TAM picks up the second call.
5. The TAM voice message asks you to respond to,
“Welcome to the telephone access center.
Please enter your pass code followed by the #
key.”
Welcome Announcement
Fig. 3. Dial-in Sequence.
When the TAM answers the call, you hear “Welcome
to the telephone access center.” next you hear:
a. A voice prompt to enter your pass code
followed by the # key
b. The alert messages (if any)
c. The current date and time (if already set)
d. The outdoor temperature (if available)
e. The indoor humidity (if available)
The remainder of this section describes each of the
five listed items (a through e).

Pass Code
When the TAM answers your call, you will be asked to
respond to the voice prompt, “Please enter your pass
code followed by the # key.”
This is your four-digit pass code. You can change this
pass code any time by entering the Pass Code menu.
See Fig. 4 on page 11.
During installation a unique pass code should have
been set and the number written on the inside of the
TAM cover. For complete instructions see “Pass Code
Menu” on page 14.
NOTE: The TAM’s default pass code are the four
digits - 1 2 3 4.
Alert Messages
The TAM indicates any unacknowledged alert
message immediately after you enter your pass code.
NOTE: If an alert condition still exists but has previ-
ously been acknowledged, the alert is not
repeated.
If there are any unacknowledged alert messages, you
hear this message, “The (alert description) alert from
(channel/zone) occurred on (date) at (time).”
See Table 1 for a list of the alert messages and
corresponding causes.
See “Acknowledging Alert Messages” on page 9 to
acknowledge an alert.
For additional information, see “Changing Your
Telephone Access Module Settings” on page 10.

ACKNOWLEDGING ALERT MESSAGES
You hear “To acknowledge receipt of this alert
message, press the # key.”
After the alert message is announced, the TAM
prompts you to acknowledge the message. If there is
more than one active alert message, the TAM
announces the next message, and continues until all
alerts are announced.
NOTE: When you acknowledge the alert message by
pressing the # key, you are clearing the dial-in
alert message and also clearing the dial-out
alert. You are not correcting the condition that
caused the alert.
IMPORTANT
Pressing any other key (besides the # key)
ignores the acknowledgement so it remains an
active alert. The TAM continues to dial out until
an acknowledgement is received.
IMPORTANT:
After receiving an alert, it is important to take
appropriate action immediately. See “Alert
Menu” on page 15 for more information on dial-
out alerts.
Once all alerts are announced, the TAM announces
the current date, time, outdoor temperature and
indoor relative humidity (if available).
