0000,A71,13500000000,13600000000,
0000,A71.13500000000,13600000000,13700000000

Number: A maximum of two monitor numbers can be set and each number contains 16 digits at most. If less
than two functional numbers are set, the number must be followed by a comma “,” so as to prevent a setting
failure. If no functional numbers are set, the number remains blank (the default value is blank). That is, if no
numbers are filled in and the comma “,” retains, numbers on the corresponding positions are deleted and the
monitor no longer takes effect.
Example: 0000,A72,13844444444,13855555555
