•IMC recommends the use of Automatic Band selection (select: Automatic - Recommended form the drop-down list).

3.It is recommended that a SMS Heartbeat Message is enabled.

•The problem with automated alarm systems using tools such as SMS is that, if you don’t get an alarm for several days or weeks, it is difficult to know if this is because the system is not generating any alarms or because the SMS system has failed.

The SMS Heartbeat Message will give a daily indication that everything is functioning correctly.

•The timing of the Heartbeat message can be set in the bottom dialog box.

•Please ensure that the time is entered in the following format: 10:10:00

•Any time from the 24 hour clock can be set.

4.When all settings are entered select Update.

•Selecting Delete, removes all entered Email Alert Global Settings, preceded by the following warning:
