Introduction
The Escort5580TC Voice Assisted Security Control provides easy to understand audible
information about the status of your security system, and makes operation simple by
prompting the user through each operation. In addition, you can use the Escort5580TC to
control various Home Automation items. This new version of the Escort, designated ‘TC’ for
Thermostat Control, now also allows you to monitor and control the temperature of your
premises with the help of an EMS-100 thermostat.
The Escort5580TC allows any touch-tone telephone to act as a keypad for your security
system. The telephone could be any telephone that is on the same line as your security
system, or an outside telephone which may be used to call the security system.
Some optional features described in this manual may not be available on your security
system. You will not hear the voice prompts for any option that is not activated on your
system.
In this manual, the voice messages are printed in bold and are enclosed in quotes, as
shown here:
“Enter your access code”
Your installer may have programmed labels for the Escort to announce when it refers to
things such as zones and partitions (e.g. you may hear "East wing" instead of "Partition 2").
Prompts that your installer may have changed are written in brace brackets, as shown here:
“To Select {Partition 2}, press [2].”
When instructed to press a key or keys to perform an operation, symbols for the keys will be
enclosed in square brackets, as shown here:

About Your Security System
Your DSC security equipment has been designed to give you the greatest possible
flexibility and convenience. To fully benefit from the features of your security system, you
should read this manual and the Instruction Manual provided with your system very
carefully. Have your installer instruct you on system operation and on which features have
been activated on your system. All users of the system should be instructed on its use. Fill
out the System Information page in your Security System Instruction Manual and store it
with the manual in a safe place for future reference.
IMPORTANT NOTE
: A security system cannot prevent emergencies. It is only intended
to alert you and, if included, a central station of an emergency situation. Security
systems are generally very reliable but they may not work under all conditions and
they are not a substitute for prudent security practices or life and property insurance.
Your security system should be installed and serviced by qualified security
professionals who should instruct you on the level of protection that has been
provided and on system operation.
"Loading the manual" means you need to wait until the file loads and becomes available for online reading. Some manuals are very large, and the time they take to appear depends on your internet speed.
