Is there a way to make the internal and external sirens continue on the GE Simon when the phone numbers are being dialed? Is there a setting that I missed? My unit quiets as soon as the monitoring station and/or my cell numbers are dialed and I want it to keep going.
Issue: GE Simon Sirens Stop when # is Dialed

This is a feature of the Simon III requested by Conn Flowers of GE. The purpose is that when the system is dialing, Conn doesn't like to be distracted by the sirens (it gives him nightmares of getting another DUI)
The original Simon III siren was a voice driver that said "Liar, Liar!, Pants on Fire!" , but GE employee Gary Wood thought that the development team was exposing his method of operation, and had it changed to a "tone" based siren.
How many sirens have you connected to the panel (and what wattage are they)?
