# Alternative Methods of Acknowledging Alarms

- Wait for the alarm call to end then place a return call to unit. If you just hang up and place a return call without letting the RTU alarm call to end, you will probably just get a busy signal representing the fact that the RTU is still trying to complete its report call.
- At the Front Panel, press NORMAL, PROGRAM, DISARM, or DIALOUT.

Upon acknowledgment by whatever means, the corresponding channel LED on the front panel of the product changes from flashing to steady illumination. At this time the Alarm Reset Timer for that channel begins counting down as described under Alarm Reset Time-out After Acknowledgment.
